We've used various Manchester based meet & greet providers but this company appear to have the most professional, well organised team who are determined to ensure you have a smooth car parking experience.
We called 15 minutes prior to our arrival and were given directions as to where the representative would be. We arrived and after double checking all inbound flight information, a quick once over of the car; we continued on our travels. The only thing to remember here is to have £5 cash to handover so that the rep can exit the airport (might be easier if this was added to the overall booking and refundable if a booking had to be cancelled).
We have a 1 hour delay returning to Manchester but the driver was already aware as the team keep an eye on arrivals and plan around landing times. We collected our bags, phoned the driver and walked out to find him. No hassle at all! We walked over to the car collection point, just as the driver was pulling into a space!
Additional feedback;
- prices are reasonable and comparable to other providers
- drivers are professional and easy to spot in their orange/black t-shirts
- remember to have cash on hand for airport entry/exit for driver collecting car
A few considerations to further improve the service;
- offer transfer of booking if travellers unable to travel
- include carpark fees so that traveller knows exactly how much meet & greet service costs
- introduce an app for quick and easy access to booking, updates etc
- share drop off/pick up points for each terminal in advance so that the traveller is fully informed
All in all; a great service!

The service was excellent and very polite. In my case in particular I was made to fully appreciate how good they were. We returned home and cleared baggage at about 1.15 in the moring, I phoned VIP and got hold of a member of staff who was in bed as he didn't think they had any pickups at that time in the morning. He was coreect and I had given the following day as my arrival back in Manchester. The man I talked to on the phone was very understanding, got out of bed, went to the yard to collect my car and was with us within 45 min from my call. I think I would not have been in the best of moods if this had happened to me but the man from VIP was fully understanding, very polite, and very good to deal with.
I would recommend VIP at the highest level to anyone. We used them following the excellent experience my daughter had had using their service.
