Overview of VIP Meet & Greet
VIP Meet and Greet is an independent service that still does things the traditional way: a driver meets you outside your departure terminal and takes the car. That matters at Terminal 3, where the airport's own meet and greet no longer takes bookings. Mind the extras: the airport's drop-off fee is added on the day.
You call the driver when you are 15 to 20 minutes from the airport. A driver meets you outside your departure terminal, checks the car and parks it securely. The walk to check-in is about three minutes, per the reseller listing.
The listing mentions extras worth knowing: a £6.50 airport drop-off fee paid to the driver at handover, and the return drop-off charge as the customer's responsibility. Vans, minibuses and late returns carry small extra charges, set out below.
The service runs 24 hours a day. Overheight vehicles are returned to the drop-off zone only. The operator lists CCTV, security fencing, barrier control and fully insured drivers.
How to find it
Manchester Airport sits south of the city at Ringway, next to Junction 5 of the M56. Head for your departure terminal's drop-off area, as the driver directs.
Call ahead so the driver is waiting.
