Manchester airport parking recommendations please?

[Thierryhenryneedisaymore]

Sorry if this should be posted elsewhere but am worrying about a parking firm i have booked at Manchester Airport on Thursday. I have juat gone to check details and looked up reviews and they are ALL awful. So i need to bite the bullet and put it down to experience and book somewhere else.
There is too much choice.
I don't mind a short bus ride, it is terminal one we need to be at. I am not too keen on handing keys over for meet and greet. Would rather park ourselves and kerp our keys. One week only.
Can anyone recommend a reputable firm please?

Just to say we have used meet and greet at Manchester Airport and it was very good - no problem at all. The drop off and pick up points are very close to the terminal building so quite convenient

Also use meet and greet at Manchester airport. Very easy and great service. Would recommend.

Another vote for meet and greet too.
We have used them many times and never had any issues including when our return flight was cancelled and we had to book another flight home.
This resulted in us leaving from one terminal but returning to another.
Quick phone call to meet and greet and the booking was ammended accordingly.

I’ve used the jet parks recently jet park 1 is nice and handy about a 3 min drive from terminal one you park up and pick up a bus. When you come out get the bus back simple. Buses ran every 8 mins when we went.

I’ve also used the meet and greet there about a dozen times without any problems.

I've used the Jet Parks Ringway 4 times now over the last few years. You pay online, barrier lifts up when you get there, park up, buses are really regular. Only ever had to wait less than 3/4 mins at most before one has turned up. Return trip also same. Would deffo recommend them.

Who have you booked with? We've used jet parks, toad and sky parks all without issue. Bear in mind that people are often more likely to leave bad reviews than good. When I get back from holiday I might review the hotel eventually but the last thing on my mind is to review the parking

Jetparks are the cheapest generally and I've never had any problems.

It's been a while since I flew from Manchester but we stayed in a hotel the night before on a deal which included parking (I think it was off site though, the parking) - have you thought of looking at anything like that?

We use terminal 2 west, its the new multi storey, used it even though flew from terminal 1, was about a 15 min walk car to check in desks, through the airport so very little outside.

DO NOT USE JETPARKS RINGWAY WHATEVER YOU DO!!!?
Just returned from a 2 week holiday, to find my car looks like it's been in a stock car race, Absolutely gutted! as I take great care over my car.

I arrived at JETPARKS RINGWAY, found a parking slot, made sure as always I was parked sensibly, with consideration to cars each side by leaving a reasonable gap.

Getting the bus to the airport is a massive obstacle right from the moment you park your car.

Problem 1...Lighting poor, bus stops, tiny, so you don't know where they are because no signs, poor lighting and bus stops hidden behind cars.

Problem 2, most of car park surface, is NOT tarmac, but grey rocks, with huge ruts and big puddles, this causes massive problems, for these reasons. 1) you have to wheel your case on this, then pull your case through huge puddles ( not nice when you need to put the case inside your car and your case is
covered in grey wet cement)
Try wheeling your case on rocks!!
When you return to your car it will be plastered in grey cement, from the dust kicked up by cars then turned into thin cement, by any rain, or even when you try to wash it off!
I have just spent 3 hours trying to wash my car and it's left scratches and is impossible to wash off (needed 3 attempts)

Back seat of car messed up with the grey sludge from wheeling cases on the rocky ground.

AND NOW FOR THE WORST.
Returned to find car was vandalised while parked at JETPARKS RINGWAY.

Someone has keyed the drivers side of car, and what looks like a case has been dragged across side of car, attempt made by someone trying to break in around window on door.
So here's yet another problem, you can't phone JETPARKS, AND they don't respond to the online contact form.
I tried to contact them when leaving to tell them about damage by pressing the button on the exit barrier, and gave up after 10 minutes!

So paid over £100 to park my car in their so called "secure car park" for what??
The Bus drivers are constantly trying to juggle the service and are given a free run on planning, so you could as we did find you have a 45 minute wait before you see a bus, which can be quite traumatic when you have a flight to catch

IF YOU VALUE YOUR CAR I WOULD NOT USE JETPARKS ITS A TAXI FOR ME IN FUTURE
MANCHESTER AIRPORT IS PATHETIC!!

We use Drop & Go. It's really close to T1 (walkable) but buses take you to T2 & 3 (5 min journey)

We paid £130 for 2 weeks in August but if you book early it can be as low as £75.

You drop your keys off in a secure unit (staff are there to help) a ticket with a bar code is produced and then when you return, you put the code in the machine and the unit opens with your keys. The bay where your car is, is also on the ticket.

We found it really effortless and a bit cheaper than Meet& Greet if you've got a smaller budget.
