The Service

How does meet and greet parking work?

Drive to the Drop Off Car Park at Bournemouth Airport at your booked meet time. Our driver will meet you, complete a quick vehicle condition check, and take your keys. You then head straight to check-in. When you return, there is no need to call — we track your return flight and will meet you in the arrivals hall and take you to your car, or at the same meeting point.

Where do you park my car?

Your vehicle is parked in our secure, insured off-airport facility. The location is monitored 24/7 with CCTV. We do not disclose the exact location for security reasons.

Is my car insured while you have it?

Yes, we maintain comprehensive insurance cover for all vehicles in our care. This covers damage caused by our negligence, theft from our facility, and fire damage.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We monitor all flights on Flight Radar, so we know when you land. If your flight is delayed, we will adjust accordingly at no extra charge.

How long does the handover take?

The drop-off process typically takes 5-10 minutes. Collection is usually even quicker - just 2-3 minutes once we arrive with your car.

Vehicle Requirements

What type of vehicles do you accept?

We accept most standard cars, SUVs, and small vans. Your vehicle must not exceed: Length 5m, Width 2m, Height 2m. If you have a larger vehicle, please contact us.

Does my car need to be roadworthy?

Yes, your vehicle must be roadworthy with valid MOT (if applicable), road tax, and insurance. We reserve the right to refuse service if your vehicle is not legal to drive.

Can I leave items in my car?

You can leave everyday items like child seats, but you MUST remove all valuables including cash, electronics, jewellery, and important documents. We are not liable for any items left in the vehicle.

Do you accept electric or hybrid vehicles?

Yes, we accept electric and hybrid vehicles. Please ensure your vehicle has enough charge for us to drive it to and from our facility (approximately 4 miles), plus your journey home.

Cancellations and Amendments

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancel 72 hours or more before your meet time and we refund what you paid, less a £10 admin fee. Cancel less than 72 hours but at least 24 hours before and a 25% cancellation fee applies (minimum £10). Cancel less than 24 hours before, or don't turn up, and no refund is due. Refunds are processed within 5-7 working days.

How much would I get back if I cancel?

On a £100 booking: £90 back with 72 hours' notice or more, £75 back with less than 72 hours but at least 24 (the 25% fee, minimum £10), and nothing with less than 24. The charges come off your refund, so you never pay anything extra. Your meet time is the date and time you booked to hand your car to our driver.

Can I change my booking?

Yes. You can change your booking free of charge up to 24 hours before your meet time, subject to availability. If your new dates cost more, you pay the difference. Moving your booking can't lower the cancellation charge.

Are there any amendment fees?

No. Changes are free up to 24 hours before your meet time. If your new dates cost less, we refund the difference when you make the change 72 hours or more before your meet time.

What if my flight is cancelled?

If your flight is cancelled by the airline, we will provide a full refund regardless of when you notify us. Just provide proof of the cancellation.

What if I do not show up?

If you do not meet our driver and do not contact us within 30 minutes of your scheduled meeting time, this is considered a no-show and no refund will be provided.

On the Day

What time should I arrive at the meeting point?

Arrive at the meeting point at your booked time. We recommend allowing 10-15 minutes for the handover process before you need to check in for your flight.

What if I am running late?

Call us immediately on the phone number provided in your booking confirmation. We will do our best to accommodate you, but additional charges may apply for extended waiting times.

What do I need to bring?

Bring your booking reference number, your vehicle keys (including any spare keys), your driving licence, and any access codes for your vehicle.

Will you check my car condition?

Yes, we conduct a thorough condition check at drop-off and take photographs. We do the same when returning your vehicle. This protects both you and us.

When should I call for collection?

There's no need to call us — we'll be tracking your return flight and will be ready when you arrive.

Do you drive my car?

Yes, we drive your car from the airport to our secure facility and back (under two miles each way). We guarantee that your car will not be moved from our facility during your holiday.
