Hi all.

Can anybody suggest a good car parking company - either park and ride or drop off service?

Cheers

we always use the shuttle park very near the airport at the back of the terminal you keep hold of your keys, bus very quick 5 Min's away

We have been using Autostrong Park and Fly, can be done on the web or direct, for several years. It is a secure park just off the A56 at Altrincham,telephone 0161 9298555, or www.Autostrong.co.uk. They then bus you in as and when required and will pick you up on arrival back with their stop being just outside the terminal, its about 10-15 minutes ride to the airport. The staff are very helpful and the cars are completely safe. The price will depend on how long and what time of the year of course.

Wait till tomorrow, I will get the link off my works computer, it has a promo code attached to it for discount with APH which compares all car parks but also includes discount on there own car parks. Used there own car park in december and couldnt fault them, transfer to airport was 10 minutes and we rang when collecting our baggage when returned and they were outside waiting. We looked for June and it is 57 quid for 2 weeks.

Had a brain wave and checked my e-mail as I forwarded the link to myself from work in november when I booked for last December.

compare the prices on there to the normal APH site and there is a good little saving meet and greet only £56 for 2 weeks.

I dont see why they need your keys if your car is parked up

We used the APH one last year, it is really secure. Basically it seemed to me as they were saving you time. You just drove the car to the reception area and parked up in a bay, then they move it for you and park it up properly for you. The car was then back waiting for us in reception when we arrived back. Didn't have any issues with them at all and would be more than happy to use them again. But if you look on that site I think there are other ones on there where you can take your keys with you.
