Maple Parking covers five UK airports: Birmingham, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted. At four of them it is meet and greet — a driver takes the car at the terminal forecourt and returns it there when you land. Stansted is the exception and is sold as park and ride. Code BCP25 takes up to 25% off, bringing Gatwick to about £72 for eight days. Verified 10 September 2026.
Sitewide code BCP25 takes up to 25% off at every Maple Parking site, and the site-specific codes below are worth checking against it. Prices are for 8 days with a code applied, checked 10 September 2026. Each button opens our quote form with that site's own code already in the discount field. Each airport name links to that airport's full code list.
Maple Parking prices by the day, and the daily rate falls as the stay lengthens. A three-day booking costs proportionally far more per day than a fortnight. Below are three stay lengths, before and after code BCP25.
| Stay length | Pre-booked | With BCP25 | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 days | £52 | £42 | £10 |
| 7 days | £85 | £68 | £17 |
| 14 days | £120 | £96 | £24 |
No, and meet and greet never is. Maple at £72 for eight days at Gatwick sits £32 above Cophall's park and ride and £10 above the airport's own Long Stay. You are buying time and convenience, not value, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something.
The honest framing is that meet and greet costs roughly £25 to £32 more than park and ride on a typical eight-day booking, and buys back around forty minutes of your time across the trip plus the elimination of a shuttle with luggage. For a family with small children on a 5am departure, that is straightforwardly worth it. For a solo traveller with hand luggage, it is not.

Call the number on your booking when you are about twenty minutes from the airport. Drive to the terminal's designated meet and greet bay — not to a car park — where a uniformed driver meets you. You complete a condition check together, photographs are taken, and you hand over the keys and walk into departures. On return, call from baggage reclaim and the car is brought to the same bay, usually within fifteen minutes of your call. Do the condition check properly at both ends; it is the whole basis of any later dispute.
Maple's compounds hold Park Mark accreditation and are fenced, CCTV-monitored and patrolled. Drivers are insured to drive your vehicle in the course of the handover, which is the specific cover that matters for a valet product and the thing to confirm before booking with any meet and greet operator. Mileage is recorded at handover and return, which is your protection against the concern most people have about valet parking.
Our guide to whether off-site airport parking is safe explains what Park Mark does and does not certify.
EV handling at meet and greet compounds is inconsistent across the industry and Maple is no exception. Charging is not offered as standard and cannot be booked with the parking. For an EV, a keys-retained park and ride where you park the car yourself is usually the more predictable choice.
Maple bookings can normally be cancelled or amended ahead of arrival, with the window set by the rate booked. Flight tracking covers late arrivals — and for meet and greet this matters more than for park and ride, because the operator needs to have a driver and your car at the terminal when you land, not merely a space held.
How this compares across operators is in cancellation policies compared.
Maple's reviews follow the pattern of the meet and greet category generally: very positive when it works, and sharply negative in the small number of cases where it does not. The praise is for speed at handover and for drivers who are professional at departure. The recurring complaint is the wait on return — reviewers describe calling from reclaim and waiting 30 to 45 minutes at peak arrival times, which erodes the time saving that justified the price. If your flight lands in a bank of other arrivals, expect the return to be slower than the handover was.
Meet and greet codes apply to the parking charge before any terminal access fee the airport levies on the operator. That fee is not discountable and appears separately on some bookings.
If you have settled on an airport rather than an operator, the airport pages carry every car park we have a code for, side by side: Gatwick Airport parking discount code, Heathrow Airport parking discount code, Birmingham Airport parking discount code.
