That’s what I’m worried about Brian. MBW seem to be one of the best. Heathrow and police accreditation.Not for a while Simon, there used to be some very dodgy ones so be aware.
If I drive to Heathrow I pre-book the short-stay. You can walk to the terminal and know your car's not being ragged or used for Deliveroo work while you're away.Has anybody had any experience of meet and greet parking at Heathrow. Looking at the comparison sites they all seem to offer the same sort of service, drop off and collect at the terminal short stay car park. Prices for12 days range from £70-300.
I was going to do that but our flight got put back to 20:40. So would mean spending hours hanging around the terminal. But yes they do have some good deals.You may have tried this site already, but I usually use them as you get good deals.

I booked into a hotel the night before and paid for their parking for 2 weeks, got a cracking deal and a plum location right outside reception. Just hopped on the shuttle bus then.
The Sofitel is quite nice. As weird as any other airport hotel, but the only one that is worthy of its claim to be at T5. No crappy, slow, frustrating bus to get to the terminal. Sodding expensive, but the best location. I have a 7am flight in couple of weeks and will stay there the evening before.I'm going on an 8-day trip from T5 LHR fairly soon, and so have had a look at the prices. This is the official list, below.
I'm surprised how 'cheap' the Short Stay is compared with the other options. I would certainly pay 10% more for SS than Meet&Greet; I guess the cSS carpark is very empty these days. I also don't see much difference between M&G and Valet (apart from not having to navigate the parking garage, but that's worth it for the noise!) The PODs sound ridiculous (as well as being orthographically absurd - surely they are just pods, or Pods, not PODs). One last option I thinking about is the Sofitel (we have an EARLY flight), which claims to offer over-nighters £20 per day on-site parting while you are away (£160 is looking like a good deal).
Long Stay £138
A cost-effective option for longer trips. Secure parking with shuttle buses to Terminal 5. And you get to keep your keys.
Business £186
Business Parking is located close to the Terminal providing quick access with transfers every 5 minutes.
POD £200
Our driverless PODs offer an on demand service ideal if you're looking for a quick and convenient option for parking at Heathrow
Meet & Greet £217
Leave your car and keys in the Short Stay Meet & Greet zone. We park your car and when you return, your car will be waiting for you.
Short Stay £238
Just a short walk to your terminal. There's no paperwork and no shuttle bus – and you get to keep your keys.
Valet £260
Drop your car on the terminal forecourt. When you return it'll be waiting for you. Fast and convenient for a hassle-free parking experience.
So, after trawling through various meet and greet parking companies website I’ve come to the conclusion that there all a load of sh1te. Happened to see a company called Just Park and they had a few people around the airport that do parking at their house. £89 at a house gated and cctv almost opposite the tunnel into the airport. He’ll even drop you off at the terminal if you prebook that service. Also if you want to you can keep you key.
£89 for 12 days. Even if a cab is £20 each way than in my mind it’s still good value and you know where your car is parked. Drive time from parking to T3 only 5-10 mins.Good thinking.
£50-100 for a week is pretty good value. But you still have to schlepp to the terminal.
