What Is Meet and Greet Parking at Heathrow Terminal 3?
Meet and Greet is a valet parking service: you drive to Terminal 3 departures, hand your keys to a DBS-checked chauffeur, and walk straight into the terminal while they park your car at an ANPR-monitored, off-site compound until you return.
It's the fastest way to start a trip from Terminal 3 — there's no shuttle bus, no long-stay walk, and no time pressure at the end of a flight. It costs slightly more than Park & Ride, but for travellers with early flights, heavy luggage, or a short changeover it more than pays for itself in convenience.

Meet and Greet vs Valet Parking: What's the Difference?
Effectively, they're the same service under different names. "Valet" is Heathrow's own official product name for forecourt drop-off parking; third-party Meet & Greet works the same way, just off-site and at a lower price — from £49.38 versus £117.14 for Official LHR Meet & Greet.
Heathrow Terminal 3 Valet Parking
Same door-to-door handover, run directly by the airport. Best for travellers who want the on-airport official product and don't mind paying more for it. From £117.14 with SUPEROFFER.
Third-Party Meet & Greet
Independent, DBS-checked chauffeurs and ANPR/Park Mark-accredited compounds, at roughly a third of the official Valet price. Same convenience, lower cost.
