I’ve used the official LHR and LGW meet and greet/valet parking services probably over 100 times over the last 5 years and never had a problem. Most of the cars I’ve used it with have allowed me to locate the car on the connected or equivalent app...I gave up looking ages ago; the car never leaves the airport. And, it’s almost always cheaper than short term parking :)
I’d never use the non-official or off airport ones...there’s not enough saving to be made to even consider it. 3 weeks valet parking at T3 varies between £146 and £171 in my experience. From drop off to the lounge is 20 minutes on a normal day, with 10 of that being security. The return is quicker...gate to car is always under 15 minutes. Currently the MINI is at valet parking at T3, and it’ll be ready tomorrow at 6:30. I’ve just looked...it’s already in the collection area :) But I’ve left the Merc there a few times too. I wouldn’t think twice about it.
