Simple Steps to Finding a Trusted Airport Car Park Service

Travelling is often a source of stress for many – particularly when trying to coordinate parking accommodations near airports. It can be especially difficult for those who are not frequent travellers and do not have a tried and true method for success. It can be unclear what the best parking option is for your vehicle, as there are a wide variety of options.

If you aren’t careful, you can get stuck in a terrible situation similar to that of the Gatwick parking firm Gatwick First, which abandoned a number of cars throughout Sussex and Surrey, leaving travellers returning from their trips stranded! After paying as much as £60, around 120 customers were taken advantage of by Gatwick First Parking.

In response to this chaotic situation, I Love meet and greet, the airport parking specialists, have come up with a clear plan for success for travellers when it comes to parking at the airport. Sarah Anglim, founder and managing director of I Love meet and greet, explained her decision for prioritizing this project, saying, “For years the media has reported stories of problems with airport parking, but no one has explained to the travelling public that these disasters can be easily avoided. Our three-step plan is quick and easy and gives anyone purchasing airport parking the opportunity to make an informed choice.”

By following this brief guide with simple steps, travellers will feel good leaving their cars with a trusted car park service!

1. Use the airport’s website to search for approved operators. Going in to your travel situation well informed is the best way to have a successful trip! If you’re travelling through Gatwick Airport, you are able to search for approved parking management operators ahead of time by reviewing their online list. By doing this, you can rest assured that the operators have Park Mark Accreditation for their car parks, which is a national standard for UK car parks that have low crime measures in place to ensure the safety of customers and their vehicles.

In addition, they are all a part of Trading Standard’s Buy with Confidence scheme, which means they have been vetted and approved to ensure that they operate in a legal and fair way. Knowing that these companies follow these certification schemes means that you will know you’re working with a trustworthy company.

2. Check where you are meeting with your parking service. Depending on the service you choose, you may meet on the terminal forecourt, or within an airport multi-storey car park.

Maple Manor, Tudor Rose, APHP and Ace and Cophall Parking all meet customers in the airport car parks, while Help Me Park and I Love meet and greet offer services on the terminal forecourt. Understanding which service you’re being provided will be useful in having a flawless and speedy parking situation!

3. Go online and check Corporate Parking Rates and reviews for parking operators. This is imperative for ensuring that your parking service will be of the best quality and standards. Reputable firms will use independent review sites such as Reevoo, Feefo or Trustpilot to allow users to go in and give a fair and unbiased review of their services.

In addition, reviews can be found on social networking sites such as Facebook. Anglim said, “I have over thirty years’ experience of working in airport parking and there has never been so many ways to check on the parking providers. I Love meet and greet invests in training to achieve good customer service and we are the best rated airport parking operator on Facebook.”

By reading through these reviews, you will be assured that you’re working with a company that gives excellent service to their customers.

By following these few simple steps, you will successfully and easily find reliable, trustworthy car park companies when you’re planning for your next big trip!
