Extra days, if required, before or after the dates booked will be charged at the usual rate.

Yes – for our Meet & greet service, in order for us to drive and to park your car safely and securely we will need to have your keys while your car is in our care. If you have booked our Park & Ride service at selected airports we will still need to have your keys as we park the car for you in our car park. Keys are tagged with our unique barcode and are kept in a secure key room away from cars. For security, keys are only removed from our secure key rooms and with our drivers whilst cars are being driven or parked.

We take security very seriously. Whilst your car is in our care, it is our responsibility to keep it safe and secure at all times. Rest assured that all our car parks are hard standing, fenced, lit and are manned throughout the day. Most are manned 24 hours hours but those that are not manned are patrolled regularly by our dedicated security team during these times. We also have CCTV.

Cars are parked in our secure car parks near to the airport you are flying from. Your car will only be driven to, from and within our secure car parks. Where necessary cars may be moved from one secure car park to another.
