How it Works
Airport parking doesn't need to be complicated. Whether you choose Meet and Greet for maximum convenience or Park and Ride for the best value, the process is simple — and we handle the hard part for you. Here's exactly what happens when you book with Ace Airport Parking.
Meet and Greet Parking
Our most popular service. You drive to the terminal, hand over your car, and walk straight into departures. No car parks, no shuttle buses, no stress.
On arrival:
1. Drive to your departure terminal — head to the airport as normal. Your booking confirmation will have the exact meeting point.
2. Meet your driver — one of our uniformed, fully insured, DBS-checked drivers will be waiting for you. They'll carry out a quick walkaround check of your car, including photographs.
3. Walk into departures — hand over your keys and you're done. Head straight to check-in while we take your car to our secure compound nearby.
On your return:
1. Collect your luggage — once you've landed and picked up your bags, give us a call on the number in your booking confirmation.
2. Meet your driver — we'll bring your car to the terminal meeting point, in the same condition you left it.
3. Drive home — jump in and go. No waiting around, no shuttle, no fuss.
Available at: Gatwick (North & South), Heathrow (all terminals), Stansted, London Luton, Birmingham
Park and Ride Parking
The best-value way to park at the airport. Drive to our secure car park near the airport, hand over your keys, and take a free shuttle to the terminal. Same security, same peace of mind — just at a lower price.
To the airport:
1. Drive to our car park — follow the directions in your booking confirmation to our secure car park near the airport.
2. Hand over your keys — our team will park your car in the secure, monitored compound for you.
3. Take the free shuttle — hop on the shuttle bus to your terminal. It runs frequently and takes just a few minutes.
From the airport:
1. Call us when you land — once you've collected your bags, let us know you're ready.
2. Catch the shuttle back — we'll send the shuttle to pick you up from the terminal.
3. Drive home — your car will be exactly where we parked it, ready to go.
