Liverpool Imagine Meet and Greet

Overview

Imagine Meet & Greet is an independent Liverpool Airport parking service that takes the walking almost completely out of the equation. Call Imagine around 20 minutes before you arrive, drive to the airport's Express Drop-off area and hand your keys to the waiting driver. Imagine then takes your car to its secure parking compound while you head straight into the terminal. When you return, call once you have collected your luggage and the driver brings the car back to the airport for you.

Why choose Imagine Meet & Greet?

• Terminal handover: meet the driver at Liverpool Airport rather than driving to the Imagine car park.
• No shuttle: once the car is handed over, it is just a short walk into the terminal.
• No searching for a bay: Imagine parks the vehicle for you.
• Independent pricing: worth comparing with the airport's official Meet & Greet, as third-party parking is often cheaper.
• Fully insured drivers: Imagine's drivers are insured to move your vehicle.
• Secure storage: cars are taken to Imagine's secured parking compound with CCTV, fencing, lighting and security patrols.

How does Imagine Meet & Greet compare?

Imagine vs Liverpool Airport Official Meet & Greet

Both save you from parking the car yourself and both put you very close to the terminal. The difference is how the handover works. Liverpool Airport Official Meet & Greet uses the airport's dedicated Meet & Greet facility and self-service key-drop system, while Imagine sends a driver to meet you in the Express Drop-off area and takes the car to its independent secure compound.

The official product has the advantage of being run by the airport, but Imagine can be the cheaper choice. Remember to compare the total price, though, because Imagine's airport access charges are payable separately unless your particular booking says otherwise.

Imagine Meet & Greet vs Imagine Outdoor / Park & Stroll

Both are operated by Imagine and your car is looked after by the same parking business, but Imagine Outdoor / Park & Stroll requires you to drive to Imagine's own site, leave your keys at reception and walk around 4–5 minutes to the terminal. With Meet & Greet, you drive straight to the airport and a driver takes the car away for you.

If the prices are close, Meet & Greet buys you a little more convenience. If Park & Stroll is noticeably cheaper, Liverpool's unusually short walk means you are not giving up much to save the money.

Security

Your vehicle is taken to Imagine's secure parking compound. Security includes CCTV, security fencing, lighting and regular security patrols. Imagine's drivers are fully insured to drive customers' vehicles.

Disabled facilities

Meet & Greet can be particularly convenient for passengers with reduced mobility because you hand the vehicle over close to the terminal. If you require additional assistance, contact Imagine before travelling so the team can discuss your requirements.
Liverpool Airport also allows eligible Blue Badge passengers to reclaim up to 40 minutes' parking in the Express Drop-off & Pick-up area, subject to its current conditions and evidence requirements.

Additional information

You must leave your vehicle key with the Imagine driver. Remove house keys and unnecessary keyrings before travelling.
Imagine Meet & Greet uses outdoor vehicle storage.
Imagine states that there is no height restriction for its outdoor parking. Vehicles taking up more than one normal parking space in length or width should be agreed with Imagine in advance and may require two parking spaces.
Current supplier information states that the service operates 24 hours a day for 363 days of the year and is closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Liverpool Airport's Express Drop-off charge is additional unless your booking confirmation specifically states otherwise. The current airport tariff is £7 for up to 10 minutes, so allow for the charge on both handovers.
