Meet and Greet service offers customers the opportunity to be met at the airport by a driver, their vehicle collected on the day they travel and then returned to them at the airport on their arrival back at Gatwick. Purple Parking is synonymous with the notion of a quality service at competitive prices and as a result, many blue chip companies have been using the facilities for many years, as well as the close relationship that we enjoy with all the major travel management companies.

"Our car battery went flat upon our return from holiday. Your staff members were very very helpful to us whilst we waited almost four hours for tge AA to arrange to have our vehicle towed. I didn’t take tge names of these staff at the time but I can truly say that they went tge extra mike for us. The lady went over and above her job Rome and did what she could to make us comfortable whilst waiting for the AA. She made us hot drinks and even got me some cake when I said that I was starving. Once we were ready to leave the hut (at 3.50 am) she even topped up my water bottle for me. She is truly a credit to your company "
