| Car Park | Customer rating | Price from |

| VIP Meet & Greet | 4.1 out of 5 | £79.95 |
VIP Meet & Greet parking offers a convenient alternative to traditional airport parking, with vehicle handover close to the terminal and no separate transfer bus required. The exact arrival and collection process depends on the parking operator and the service you select.
Before travelling, read your booking confirmation carefully. Some operators require you to telephone shortly before arriving, while others provide a designated meeting point and arrival procedure. Follow the instructions for your selected product rather than assuming every Meet & Greet service operates in the same way.
On arrival, drive to the specified meeting point and follow the operator's vehicle handover procedure. This may include a condition check and recording your vehicle's mileage. Once the handover is complete, you can make your way to the terminal while your car is taken to the operator's designated parking facility.
When you return, follow the collection instructions in your booking confirmation. Depending on the service, you may need to contact the operator after collecting your luggage or proceed to a designated collection area. Your vehicle will be returned in accordance with the operator's arrangements.
Step-by-step process:
→ Drive to the designated meeting point
→ Meet the parking representative and hand over your keys
→ Your vehicle is taken to the operator's parking facility
→ Enjoy your holiday
→ Follow the collection instructions when you return
Meet & Greet parking offers the convenience of vehicle handover close to the terminal, but prices vary depending on the operator, travel dates, parking duration and availability. Comparing products can help you find a suitable service at a competitive price.
Book in advance where possible. Booking early can provide a wider choice of available products and may help you secure a lower price. However, parking rates change with demand and availability, so booking earlier does not guarantee the cheapest price.
If your travel dates are flexible, compare different departure and return dates, as parking demand may be lower outside busy travel periods. You can also sign up for APH offers to receive promotional discounts and updates. Any discount will be subject to the terms of the individual offer, including eligible products and booking dates.
Top tip from APH: Compare Meet & Greet products as soon as your travel dates are confirmed. Check the total price, included services, cancellation conditions and any additional charges before booking.
The following figures are from a historical APH booking analysis and illustrate how average daily parking prices differed according to booking lead time. They are not live prices or guaranteed savings, and the analysis should be refreshed periodically using current booking data.
| Booking Time | Average Price Per Day | Illustrative Weekly Cost | Difference vs 1 Week Booking | Historical Price Trend | Booking Consideration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6+ months before | £6.01 | £42.07 | £41.16 lower | Lower average | Useful for early planning |
| 6 months before | £6.76 | £47.32 | £35.91 lower | Lower average | Compare availability and rates |
| 1 month before | £8.04 | £56.28 | £26.95 lower | Mid-range average | Check remaining product choice |
| 2 weeks before | £9.70 | £67.90 | £15.33 lower | Higher average | Compare short-notice options |
| 1 week before | £11.89 | £83.23 | Reference point | Higher average | Check current availability |
What this means: In this historical comparison, bookings made more than six months before travel had a lower average daily price than bookings made one week before departure. However, these averages do not guarantee that an individual booking will be cheaper, and the cost of a seven-day stay may differ from seven times the average daily rate. Use the live booking results above to compare prices for your actual travel dates.

When is the cheapest time to book Meet & Greet parking at Manchester Airport?
Booking Manchester Airport Meet & Greet parking several months in advance can help you compare a wider range of products and may offer lower prices. However, rates vary according to demand, availability and travel dates, so there is no guaranteed cheapest booking window. Compare live prices once your travel dates are confirmed.
How much can I save by booking airport parking early?
Savings depend on your travel dates, parking duration and the products available. Historical APH booking data has shown lower average prices for some bookings made further in advance, but individual savings are not guaranteed. Compare the current prices for your journey to find the most suitable option.
Do Meet & Greet parking prices increase closer to travel dates?
Meet & Greet parking prices can increase as your travel date approaches, particularly when demand is high or availability becomes limited. However, prices are dynamic and may also change because of promotions or operator pricing decisions. Booking early may help you secure a competitive rate, but it does not guarantee the lowest price.
Are there ways to get discounts on Manchester Airport Meet & Greet parking?
Yes. You can compare available parking products, book in advance and look for promotional offers. Signing up for APH offers may also give you access to discounts on selected parking products. Promotional codes and discounts are subject to their individual terms and may not apply to every Manchester Airport Meet & Greet booking.
Is Meet & Greet parking worth it compared to cheaper options?
Meet & Greet parking can be a convenient option if you prefer to hand over your vehicle close to the terminal rather than use a transfer bus. It may be particularly useful for families, passengers with luggage or travellers who value convenience. Prices vary, so compare Meet & Greet with Park & Ride and other available parking options before booking.
At APH, we aim to make booking Manchester Airport parking straightforward, with a choice of services to suit different travel needs and budgets. Before booking, check the product details, arrival instructions and cancellation conditions. You can also read feedback from previous customers on Trustpilot and Reviews.io.
