Lee,

I have to admit that I always use Purple Parking's meet and greet at Heathrow. It's a bit more expensive, but it seems to go in a different carpark to others, and in 4 years and Scoobs there's never been so much as a scratch.

Their compound is also within the airport perimeter, so the car's never done more than a few miles, all in a 30 zone.

Josh

Lee,

I think a similar service is available at most airports.

They meet you at the terminal, take the car to the compound, and then have the car waiting outside when you clear customs upon you return. My lot can be found at

Leave it round my house mate, I'll look after it for you! You'd best leave me the keys in case I need to move it though, just in case of course.
