“I chose meet and greet as I am currently 20 weeks pregnant and my husband has a broken leg, therefore, neither of us would be able to get the case out of the boot of the car. However, we were not met by anyone and the whole service was automated. Upon return, the car was parked ages away in a different car park that we had to go to, in all, it wasn’t meet & greet. The only advantage was that it was next to the departure terminal.”
“The price was nothing short of extortionate. £85 to stay from Thursday to Sunday. Dick turpin wore a mask.
My wife cant walk far so we have to use the multi storey otherwise its a fairly long walk back to the long stay”
“Watch out, once you turn left at the second last roundabout you can no-longer avoid entering a car park and the only quick way out is via short stay and £££ - there are no signs showing this at the roundabout.”
“Surface Car park is large, and easy to find. But, for the price you pay we would expect a shuttle bus to take you to the terminal. We were lucky to find a trolley, but the longish (sometimes bumpy) walk in the pouring rain was very unpleasant.
Airport experience was quick and easy, but passport control back had no automatic machines, just 2 guys stamping the passports in a 400 person line, it was like going back 10 years!! Also no tunnels to planes, walking in rain and waiting in rain for people ahead to board...
Will be using Manchester whenever possible in the future....”
“Overpriced. I applied in advance online for Shor tStay to pick someone up, paypal took the money, and I never got a receipt or email about it.
I beleived that the car registration would be automatically read at the gate but this did not work either.
This gave me a bug headache trying to sort out when I got there.
Did I say really overpriced too?”
“Signage was poor. Should be more specific that the turn off is BEFORE the main roundabout. So I had to drive thru dropoff to find it at a cost if £6.”
“The signage for this car park was awful - I didn't want to park in the one across the road, wasn't told I was parking there and had to go into two car parks incorrectly before I found it. The walk there isn't safe.”
“I booked online, when arriving, the automatic barrier or bar code were not working. When calling through they then told me they couldn’t find my booking. After 5 minutes they then were able to find it. Not the smoothest of service and abit disappointing”
“Communication was excellent, directions easy to follow and no issues parking in allocated spaces. Biggest problem again, for the sixth time in a row, was the fast track security barcode passes. They didn't work at the barriers and had to get assistance from security. Appalling that this issue still hasn't been resolved.”
“Security was very slow, plan lots of time before your flight as people were having to push in to not miss flight times. Would consider not booking a holiday if it's flying from Liverpool in the future”
“arrived at airport meet and greet no meet no greet just a load of screens with little or no instructuions were to put you keys , oh and then notcied a letter box that saif post key here, on return scanned barred code only to find a box numberl it up tried to get jkey but locked almot streight away tried to look for a assitance no one to be seen, knocked on a door and a very rude gentle asked who knocked, told him what had happend and was very rude said he cannot do anything, eventuly he managed topen the box to get my keys after cerifying my name and car reg number, then said, did yoiu see were your car was on the screen i said no, he said wel lyour car is out there and went back behind the door, this is not meet and greet its an expansive car park, will not be using meet and greet at Liverpool ever again.”
“I was disappointed to find that I had booked the larger car park by mistake, previously I had booked the car park opposite the terminl building. This time I was on the other massive park where ther appeared to be no blue badge parking and I eventually found a space at the far end. Very disappointed.”
“Smart Park is too far from terminal and difficult to find a space. Have ongoing query as I was charged a small extra amount on arrival and another on departure although I had paid in full. Prefer the long stay car park opposite the terminal.”
“The car park itself was absolutely fine
Getting to the carpark was a nightmare, we used the postcode given on the confirmation and it took us and a lot of other people to the wrong carpark.
This caused a nightmare as cars were trying to reverse with no where to go
when we arrived at the correct carpark the same thing was happening here, cars who were at the wrong car park were stuck at the barrier as there was a long line of traffic behind them.
This was at 5am in the morning it would be worse later in the day.
This is obviously a common problem which needs sorting, in busy periods the barriers should be manned”
“Myself, friend and our two 11 year old children found it extremely difficult to locate where to go to collect our car where arriving back at 3am. There was no meet and greet signposted when you leave arrivals and no staff to ask (see picture) It took us over 20 minutes walking around in the dark in the middle of the night before heading to the right location. Having used Manchester meet and greet multiple times because of the ease of travelling with children, I found our Liverpool experience disappointing.”
