“Terrible experience!!!
Flight was delayed on returning from our holiday.... arrived 2 hours late at Heathrow at 0030hrs... then delays on off-loading from plane... and also baggage belt delays.... finally tried to call CP Super savers to collect car...... only to get a recorded message advising that the office was closed until 5am!!
Spent next 3+ hours sitting in T5 until they opened. THEN... advised that there was an extra day to pay for!!!!
£30... by bank transfer...was demanded before I could reclaim the car.
Be very careful with these companies!!!!!!!!!”
“Very careful with this company. They are part of a big scam based on stealing peoples cars or loosing their keys and ask for more money to recover your things. I never had this experience before with any other company. But please, do your research online before booking in here. I had the worse experience of my life with this company. I booked with Gatwick Park and Ride (Gatwick Secure LTD) wich ended been a big scam. They left my car at the airport for 10 days, they said they lost my car keys (and other 2 on the same day), they made me wait 3 hours at the airport trying to delay the time. They tried to convince me of a bunch of lies and as soon as I questioned anything they became very aggresive. They change the directors of the company using fake addresses and fake directors. Just check online for their companies (same name) that been dissolved and their reviews. They are trying to start the same scam again since February this year, and police is taking information from different victims to be able to close down this companies. When I contacted with this page it was the same people that was part of the scam. So no solution. I recovered my car having to pay a huge fee for Airport charge and new keys. Be very careful.”
“Appalling service DO NOT USE! Booking confirmation had the wrong business details so was left with no way to contact anyone and no way idea where my car was. Helped by Airport Tavern who tracked down the car. The 'Meet and Greet Bristol' person brought the wrong car and I could have driven away in a very lovely VW Golf but that would have been stealing.....had to be taken to Queenshead Farm yard, 9 miles away to collect the car, 3 hours later. Stressful, distressing, and exhausting. I refused to pay the £6 car park fee as I was fuming. My vehicle had been rifled through and left disheveled. Incompetent and I believe a fraudulent operation using another businesses' details..... Won't ever use them”
“DO NOT USE!!!
Arrived at Gatwick. Asked us for ID bit Driver had no identification and anything to confirm he was from the parking company . I had to take a photo of him. Luckily we have car tracking to ease our worries.
The day before we returned we needed to extend the Parking due to delays. After 2.5 hours of trying to deal with the company themselves who were not help at all I got through to the mobile we called from the booking email. Explained the situation and said it was fine and would see is the day after.
Landed and had a random whatsapp message from them asking why we hadn’t collected our car.
Called them at 8:30am to drop our car back to us. Said ok sending now. After an hour waiting our tracker showed car hasn’t moved.
Called them to ask why and he then said your late and didn’t let us know. Even though we had. You owe us more money so will keep your car until paid. Received a text with someone’s personal bank account details to pay to as can’t pay via a secure site etc.
Another hour later we finally got our car.
Disgusting service. Do not use them!!!!”

We booked this company for a one week drop off and park at Gatwick and were appalled by their service plus they ripped us off!
We tried to call them as specified in their terms on both provided numbers for over an hour on the way to Gatwick. We left 3 messages. Finally someone answered when we were already in the specified Gatwick short stay car park. They got stroppy when we told them no one had been answering and told us we would have to pay £20 cash to the guy who was going to collect the car else we could find alternative arrangements.
When we followed up on this with other staff we spoke to, they denied this. Unable to attach picture of us handing over the £20 to this review for some reason.
Obviously with a flight to catch we had no alternative but to pay and use them.
We had a similar impolite person who we spoke to when we returned to collect our car. We had to wait for it to be delivered again.
We will never use this company again when there is better competion out here, and suggest avoiding rude and unsavoury extortion tactics!”
“This service is a total con and certainly not fit for purpose. We had an agonising wait for them to pick the car up from Bristol Airport. Then while I was paying for the parking the driver of the van that brought the iffy drivers in was very rude to my wife, which unnerved her. Then when we returned to the UK & called them, we were told of a 50-60 minute wait as they were busy. Then we had a call to say that they were going to pick us up in a VW Transported to ferry us to their yard to get our cars. We then waited a further 55 minutes for the van to arrive. This was at 2am now! We were then driven with four other holiday makers to their yard( all four drivers had to drive back to Bristol Airport to pick up the luggage and other family members - so out of order!). The journey to their yard was 25 minutes and on arriving it was pitch black and deep in mud. There was no apology or contact for compensation. This so called meet & greet - Compare Parking Deals should not be allowed to trade if they cannot offer the service advertised. I went to put a review on trust pilot but CPD’s had closed their web site a year ago as the reviews we so bad. To add insult to injury CPM sent me an email asking me for feedback on my experience with them. Guess what? The page came up with 404 error - page could not be found. That sums them up nicely. 🙄 Dave, Bideford England”
“I feel compelled to share my recent experience with the parking service Meet & Greet in order to spare you from enduring the same nightmarish ordeal I faced. I strongly urge you to steer clear of this service, as it was nothing short of an utter disappointment and a complete waste of time and money.
To begin with, the so-called "Meet & Greet" service turned out to be a misnomer. Instead of a seamless and hassle-free experience, it felt more like a frustrating game of hide-and-seek. When I finally managed to find a staff member, their disinterest in assisting me was palpable. Adding insult to injury, they had the audacity to demand an additional £5 for both entry and exit, leaving me with an unexpected and unwarranted £10 charge.
My troubles only escalated from there. Despite following their instructions to call upon retrieving my luggage, I was met with an hour of agony and disappointment. Five phone calls later, I was still waiting for my car to arrive. The person on the other end of the line, who claimed to represent the company, displayed a shocking lack of empathy and rudeness. Their empty promises and dismissive attitude left me feeling utterly powerless and frustrated.
As I endured the interminable wait, I witnessed another unfortunate individual experiencing a similar ordeal. It became clear that this was not an isolated incident but a recurring pattern of failure within the Meet & Greet service. The distress on their face mirrored my own, further solidifying my belief that this service is one to be avoided at all costs.
After more than an hour of waiting, with a tired and crying child in tow, my car finally arrived. However, any semblance of goodwill or trust had long been shattered. The experience was a stark departure from what a Meet & Greet service should provide—efficiency, convenience, and peace of mind. Instead, I was left with a bitter taste in my mouth and the regret of having chosen this company.
Fellow travelers, please heed my warning: Do not be lured in by the promise of a Meet & Greet service from this company. Instead, opt for alternative parking arrangements that prioritize customer satisfaction and professionalism. Consider utilizing long-stay parking facilities coupled with a reliable transfer service. Not only will this likely save you money, but it will also spare you the anguish and disappointment I experienced.
I implore you to learn from my unfortunate encounter and avoid the frustration and distress associated with this particular parking service. Your travel experiences should be memorable for the right reasons, not marred by the incompetence and apathy of a subpar Meet & Greet service.
Wishing you smooth travels and satisfactory parking experiences elsewhere!”
