Long wait for car return.
Had to wait a short while on drop off to hand over the keys.
On our return the wait was ridiculous, we were told it would be 30 minutes, which was long enough but in reality it ended up being 55 minutes before our car was returned.
It would have been far quicker for us to use a park and ride car park, rather than this drop and wait company. Definitely do not recommend and would never use again.
Better than others used
Apart from miscommunication from one of the drivers which cost extra for waiting at Heathrow and myself getting the stating the wrong arrival time, it went smoothly. I must state though there was an unsual high mileage noticed when car was collected.
I will use again as it the cheapest . An improvement would be to answer calls promptly
Avoid Rose Parking Ltd
Parking Buddy experience fine. Bigger issue was with the parking company Rose Parking. Pick up and return were fine, with very short wait times. The bigger issue was that my car was used by Rose Parking outside of parking it. I realised as I have an app for car and could see it was being used 10+ hours after they picked it up and where it had been. I called them at the time and they said it was being moved between compounds which was not true as I knew the areas it was being driven. Overall it was driven an additional 15+ miles and I have no doubt it would have been used more if I hadn't called them and threatened to call police. Would absolutely NOT recommend.
Birmingham Airport
Birmingham Airport, Meet and Greet booked.
An interesting experience.
The initial directions were rather scant, we were merely told to go to Birmingham International. A few days before our departure we received an amendment to go to Maple valet parking, again scant directions and return collection ascribed to a company called Ace. The return and collection left a bad taste - I am disabled and the “short walk” from arrivals to the valet parking area was a real and painful effort. We were then told we had just 5 minutes to exit the valet parking area or we would be charged extra. I had already paid over £80 for my meet and greet parking. I did not argue because of the threat of extra charging, exhausted by the “short walk”, I packed our luggage into the boot and drove off in a filthy car that had been left moderately clean a week ago.
I do not know where my car was stored for the duration, it was moderately clean when we left it with the company. It was returned looking as if it had been parked inside the dust bag of a massive vacuum cleaner.
When I fly I always book meet and greet parking because of my disability, this was the worst meet and greet parking I have experienced.
Fake brands everywhere.
Fake brands everywhere.. heathrow valet parking is not a real company. I used this parking through different providers in the past and bought the booking and it turns out its a fake. I am going to report to the trading standard.. The company is registered under an accountant office, i feel the accountant also doing some doggy scam... I feel the account anting firm Azed & Co involved in this scam and i am going to file complaint today with HMRC and FCA
DO NOT USE SMG OR PARKING BUDDY
I would give this 0 but that is not available in this rating.
Due to an error with the booking I had to pay an additional £33 for my parking which was totally avoidable and unacceptable.
I have raised this as a complaint over 1 week ago however have no yet received any meaningful update nor my money back.
I have reported SMG Vehicle Storage Ltd as I was made to believe this was a meet & greet company when is in fact is a vehicle storage company which, according to the UK GOV website, was DISSOLVED in 25/02/2020.
The whole experience was simply outrageous and I would not recommend anyone getting anywhere near SMG nor Parking Buddy.

Sure Parking car drop off and pick up
Arrived at the airport at the designated drop off point and the parking attendant was waiting. Was very easy since he took the car, gave a flyer to ensure that we have it handy I return.
On return, I called that we have collected our luggage and the car was already parked again at the orange car park bay which is very convenient. No hassle and friendly staff.
We used Aygo Parking and we waited for…
We used Aygo Parking and we waited for 15 minutes when we arrived at the carpark to drop our car despite we called them 30 minutes before as they advise in their booking. When we arrived to pick the car we call them when we got our bags and we waited for over 50 minutes to received our car after several calls from our side as they didn't provide any follow up and took no responsibility whatsoever. The customer service was very poor, I was very disappointed!! If you are looking for a fast and reliable option I really don't recommend this parking company.
Fantastic drop-off but they bought the…
Fantastic drop-off but they bought the wrong car back to us on our return which caused us delay - they did deal with it swiftly though and drove us to where our car was located at their storage.
They tamper with dash cams
They tamper with dash cams & broke mine. The last 2 times i used them, i got my car back with the dash cam plug removed. The also broke the power button. When i sent a complaint email, it was ignored.
Platinum meet and greet
We had a very easy drop off at airport. On our return from holiday, we only had hand luggage, so we had no cases to collect therefore, a short wait for our car was of no surprise. I would definitely use Platinum Meet and Greet again.

Easy drop off and pick up.
We missed the flight and it was easy to pay extra for a day.
Great parking, safe & hassle free
Efficient service. Well signposted. Car ready as we landed.
Long wait times and high fees
Had to wait 30 mins on drop off and had to call twice as they missed the time slots they had provided. Also waited 45 mins on pick up.
Extended the parking by 1 day and it cost 60% of the whole 7 day booking to extend by 1 day - up to them what they charge but at that cost it’s taking advantage.
Thank you guys ☺️ you are doing a good job
Very nice staff on drop off and even more polite driver when picked up my car good time I will look for them again when needed driver are very welcoming Anil and the other one very nice experience with them thank you . Regards
