Not sure Mrs RC would be too chuffed about our car being in a LU car park in Hounslow for a week. It's not a super expensive one but it's decent and almost new. So all those cheapy meet'n'greets where you pull up in the short stay car park and hand your keys to a bloke who probably parks it in a field somewhere... well that's out as well. Suppose something like purple parking might be 'legit enough' but the transfer is a faff.
Any other suggestions? Ideally keeping keys...?
To be honest, my OH feels the same as ratechaser. We need to park for a week at T5. Normally we do pod or airport long term parking depending on length of time away. Neither are available. On airport website only short term parking is showing at nearly £200 for the week. The only other long term parking for T5 are the meet and greet companies. OH has seen far too many documentaries on meet and greet to be happy to hand his keys over really....and neither would he want to park in the LU car park. Again, hoping if the govn make an announcement about lifting of FCO restrictions, that maybe car parks will open up, but maybe not in time for us next week.
As an aside, if anyone has any really good reviews for meet and greet, I might be able to talk him into it!
