Our History
Ace Airport Parking (meet-and-greet) was originally formed in 2006. Its purpose was to create a rival (challenge) to the established park-and-ride business model generally associated with airport parking. Customers would drive their vehicle to a long stay car park, some distance from the airport terminal, then catch a bus to the airport. Some of the off-airport facilities are many miles from the airport and these park-and-ride options could take a great deal of time to get to the terminal after arriving at the park and ride facility.
Whilst Ace was not the architect of the meet-and-greet model, there was a clear potential for this newer type of service – which could guarantee to save the customer time and offer much greater convenience than traditional parking options. Ace Parking offers customers a professional driver to meet them at the nearest point to the airport terminal and Ace drives the cars to the off-airport car park then brings the car back to the terminal on the customers return – the benefits are obvious. Since Ace Parking’s formation in 2006 there have been some pivotal moments – From 2009 Ace Parking Gatwick expanded beyond all expectations and became one of the market leaders of meet-and-greet parking at Gatwick Airport, offering a professional parking service at an affordable price. By 2012 Ace Parking was established as one of the largest meet-and-greet companies operating from this Airport, parking in excess of 4000 customers every month, and growing.
With the success of Ace Parking and the wider advantages to the meet-and-greet business model, came a negative side…a mass of new companies popped up from 2010, with the sole intent of providing a very cheap meet-and-greet service, but most without the secure parking facilities required to operate the service as sold. Add to this a poor set of internal and external operating procedures, and their main focuses on profit alone, these cowboy operators have plagued the meet-and-greet business since then and to some extent still do until this present day. They could (and still do) offer low-price parking services by cutting many corners and lacking the following – proper parking facilities, VAT, Business rates, correct insurances, uninsured / unchecked drivers, no security, regularly changing their company name.
In 2014 Ace Parking changed its website and its company name to Ace Airport Parking Ltd, to allow it to operate from all airports. Over the next couple of years Ace parking would go on to add Heathrow Airport, Stansted Airport to its meet-and-greet portfolio of airports. Currently operating from 5 UK airports, Ace has plans to expand the brand further to cover all major UK airport locations in the coming years.
Continuing to grow every year, the future looks bright for Ace Airport Parking.
