Meet & Greet Parking, or Valet Parking as it is also sometimes called is an extremely efficient and cost-effective way to travel to and from the airport. 2-way taxi fares can end up more expensive and not everyone enjoys getting on and off from buses, especially after a long flight. With Park Giant’s Meet & Greet service, we meet you at the terminal of your choice and then our fully insured staff will drive your vehicle to our secure and Police approved car park facility. When you return, we’ll drive your vehicle back and deliver it to you.
We’re experienced, established and our service is approved by Heathrow Airport’s Approved Operator Scheme and we are a member of IAPA, the Independent Airport Parking Association. The Park Mark scheme is now removed as it is no longer available to Meet & Greet parking operators and is only for Park and Ride operations.
We used to be!
Park Mark is now only valid for self-park car parks.
The British Parking Association (BPA) used to offer Park Mark accreditation to Meet & Greet Operators of which we were a part of for over 15 years. As of March 2025, this is no longer the case as ALL meet & greet parking operators and most Park & Ride operators are now required to remove any Park Mark logo or reference from their website(s).
We, along with other Park Mark Accredited operators were asked to sign on to the BPA’s new AM-GO scheme which was deemed unnecessarily expensive and ultimately, not fit-for-purpose by members of IAPA (the Independent Airport Parking Association), of which we are a member.
We are collectively meeting with other membership bodies and will update the website and customers when we have further information. Our car parks are still safe, secure and we are still required to adhere to strict guidelines as a Heathrow Airport Approved Operator.
Meet & Greet Parking services offer customers flexibility and peace of mind. We can change your parking dates as per your requirements (additional costs will apply for extra days), change the departure or return terminal and we can also collect from a Hotel (costs may apply). Also, if your travel is extended for any reason and you need your EV car charged, we can check for availability and provide you with a price to add-on the EV charging service. Need an MOT or service, what about a small damage or alloy wheel repair? Email us at contact@parkgiant.co.uk and we’d be delighted to help where we can.
Ever had to park in an airport car park? It’s expensive! We offer last minute bookings of course, even if you arrive at the airport and are stuck we can take your booking. We always recommend advance bookings, this allows you to take advantage of cheaper pricing and you can then relax on the day you’ll be travelling.
Absolutely, in fact many of our customers find our service extremely useful. You just drive to the terminal, park in a disabled bay (blue badge holders) and we can then take your vehicle from there. If you have specific needs, just email us with a bit of notice and we’ll help as much as we can.
Yes, we’ll need to hold your keys for the duration. Please remove all other keys and key rings, apart from those required to operate your vehicle. We cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to personal items, including keys and alarm fobs.
We assist many businesses with their airport parking requirements, Meet & Greet Parking can be extremely cost-efficient for businesses and time saving for those on tight schedules. Send us an email with your requirements and we’ll do whatever we can to help.
All of our car parks are very close to Heathrow Airport. Our overflow car parks are also very close. This ensures efficiency and means that we’ll not be adding more miles to your car than is necessary.
You must check your vehicle in full upon arrival and advise us of any concerns before moving from the parking bay. The driver will then notify the office and will provide the photographs. You are then required to email us to contact@parkgiant.co.uk along with images and we will then investigate for you. Drivers are unable to check photographs taken when we collected your vehicle, although we will have them stored and will check them for you. You are also required to photograph your own car before departure – sometimes photographs can be unclear, so any concerns about image quality can be limited by additional photographs that you take. Please do not harass drivers, they will not pay for damage on the spot and are there to drive cars. Our office-based team are there to assist you.

Starting from August 29th, 2023, the New London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charge was launched for non-compliant vehicles entering the zone.
If you drive a non-compliant vehicle, you will be required to pay the ULEZ charge when accessing certain areas in London, including Heathrow Airport.
For our service needs, you will need to pay for ULEZ for any day your vehicle may be driven within ULEZ. You will need to pay for your departure day and arrival day as well as if you are staying in a hotel before or after travel if this is also within ULEZ. Please bear in mind if your travel requirements change you will also need to change the date of your date with TfL or purchase additional days.
To determine whether your vehicle is compliant with the ULEZ standards and to check if you need to pay the ULEZ charge, please visit the Transport for London (TFL) website. By clicking Here you can easily check the compliance status of your vehicle and ensure a hassle-free journey with Park Giant. The company is NOT responsible for any aspect of ULEZ fees or fines and this is the sole responsibility of the customer.
