Holiday Extras advises holiday travellers to book Meet and Greet parking with a reputable supplier and not to be discouraged because of the handful of rogue operators who have recently hit the headlines.

To ensure peace of mind before booking Meet and Greet always check the company’s credentials; Length of trading, quality and quantity of customer reviews and their broader reputation for customer service.

Holiday Extras, which has been selling this premium type of parking for over a decade, has experienced a seventy one per cent growth in Meet & Greet airport parking bookings over the last two years alone.

Sean Hagger, Commercial Director at Holiday Extras commented: “After the recent Watchdog programme on BBC TV, which exposed an unreliable Meet & Greet Service at Gatwick - I can re-assure holiday travellers: If you book with Holiday Extras then you can rest easy that your car is in safe-hands because Holiday Extras vet all their car parking services before making them available to book on its website.

“At Gatwick, 92% of over one thousand reviewers who have booked the Official Valet parking say that they would book again and 99% of over four thousand people who have used Maple Manor at Gatwick would like to repeat the experience. These numbers speak for themselves and I hope that they help to assuage any fears that may have surfaced with viewers of the consumers’ champion broadcast.”
