Absolutely disgraceful service

Absolutely disgraceful service. When I got my car back, loose change had gone missing from inside the vehicle. Trying to contact them afterwards was almost impossible because they barely answer the phone, and when they finally do, they’re rude and dismissive instead of trying to help.

You trust airport parking companies with your vehicle while you’re away, so professionalism and trust are the bare minimum. Sadly, this company offers neither. Judging by the reviews, this seems to be a recurring pattern rather than a one-off experience. I would strongly recommend avoiding them.

ABSOLUTELY APPALLING!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬

ABSOLUTELY APPALLING!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬
NEVER use this company!
From start to finish was a nightmare.
1/2 an hour wait to be met by some scruffy guy who expects you to hand the key to your car without any form of ID or identifiable uniform.
On return told 30 mins and to wait at lane G.
Waited an hour and a half and after numerous phone calls, some answered, some not, some cut off, some not even registering, we watched our car being driven straight by us to the furthest lane possible!! More phone calls to ascertain its location, when we found it there was no driver and it was locked!!!!! By pure chance my partner found the key on top of the front wheel!!
DISGUSTING!
Also no mention of the £13 airport parking fee each way until confirmation of booking email!!!!!
They should be closed down immediately.
Also where are my two pound coins that were in the central console to use for shopping trolleys?!?!?!?!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Never experienced worse service from a company before in my life. Waited over 45 mins for someone to meet and greet us, then when we land back from holiday we are immediately told it will be more than an hour for someone to bring car. They are rude and have no customer service, please save your valuable time and book with anyone else.

I would give this a - 10 if I could. Absolutely shocking service - you call 30 minutes beforehand but when you call 2-3 times to say your car is there they have no idea you called before. Then on arrival, call as we land - still waiting over an hour & a half later. Calling multiple times & each time have no idea what’s going on. Don’t use!!!!

Dire - do not use

I have only put one star as I can’t put negatives. I waited 4hrs on my return to get my car after numerous calls being told my car was on its way - finally I got a cab for£45 to where the cars were supposed to be parked only to be told they couldn’t find my key and then they couldn’t locate my car. It turned out to be where I parked when I left it. They then gave me the ticket to pay for the exit which I did and now I have received a parking ticket for £60!!! I am trying to appeal but have been unable to get a validation code to start the appeal

Dire - do not use, they are scammers!

Absolutely disgusting company

Absolutely disgusting company. Deserves 0 stars. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY.
When we arrived at Stansted airport, they came 15 mins late to pick up the car- no apology for lateness.
The email booking says the car will be returned within 30 mins after our phone call. When we got back from Stansted airport, we called and they said the car will take 1 hour.
We continued to call, and they kept cutting the line, not taking the phone call, or hanging up halfway through the call.
Whenever we did get through to them, they gave us conflicting information, saying 45 mins, 25 mins, 15 mins, or not giving a time at all.
Over 40 phone calls later, and 2.5h of waiting with our 7 month old, we saw a man drive the car into the car park and walk away from the car quickly. My husband chased the guy and asked why he did not call us and where are the car keys. The guy kept arguing with attitude that he is calling us, but he was on the phone to someone else. He showed us that he had left the keys on top of the wheel of the car. We asked why he did this and he had no explanation, just continued to be rude and shout that he was going to call us. If we had not chased him through the car park, who knows how long the car would have been there and we could have been stranded with no car keys. He then left with our ticket for the car park so we had to call stansted customer services to sort out another one for us, which took even longer. Worst company we have ever come across. I cannot believe they are allowed to continue running and taking people's money.

DO NOT USE! STANSTED SWIFT MEET & GREET

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

Absolutely shocking experience from start to finish. You are expected to hand over your car keys at the side of the road with no receipt or proper handover process. With a flight to catch, you have little choice but to trust them.

The return process was even worse. We spent over three hours making repeated phone calls trying to locate our car. Every time we called, we were told it was “10 minutes away” or “30 minutes away,” yet it never arrived.

Eventually, we were told the car was ready for collection and that the key had been left on the wheel. When we arrived at the location provided, the car was nowhere to be seen. It turned out to be parked a considerable distance away in a completely different location, unattended, with the key left on the wheel and nobody around.

We were relieved to eventually recover our car, but during the long wait and complete lack of communication, it genuinely felt like we might never see it again - STANSTED SWIFT MEET & GREET

Terrible Service

When booking our meet and greet parking, we submitted our estimated tune of arrival. Before arriving at the airport we called 30 minutes before as per the instructions (which was the same time as our original estimated time of arrival). We still waited an extra 30 minutes for someone to arrive! A further 4 calls were made to the number but there was no apology or acknowledgement of the wait..

If I could give this company 0 stars I definitely would. Waited 2 and a half hours for our car with a 4month old baby. It was absolutely freezing. We spoke to a couple that had been waiting for 4 and a half hours. Managed to speak to one of the airport security staff who asked as for our registration, as there had been a few incidents where people had not got their car back until the following day. They park your car in a random road and leave the key on the wheel of the car. You don’t get to see any terms and conditions until you’ve paid. There’s no mention of the extra £26 charge for the airport drop off fees until you’ve paid and receive an email even then it’s not clear it’s in the fine print. This is an absolute scam. Also used over 100 miles of fuel so where they’re parking the cars I do not know. Stay well away

Avoid at all costs

Avoid. Pay the extra for official airport parking.

I followed the instructions and called when I had my bags. It then took 1 hour 30 minutes for my car to be dropped off. The person on the phone was rude and repeatedly lied about where my car was and when it would arrive - I drive a Tesla, so I could see on the app that the car wasn't even moving while I was being told it was 'on the way'.

No apology was offered. No condition check was done when they took the car or when they returned it.

The whole thing felt scammy and amateur. Save yourself the stress and use an official parking provider - the small saving is not worth it.

Read this and save your money!

I am probably thinking the same as everyone else who has wrote a review for this company. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY WITH THIS COMPANY!

I have called out to this company over 50 times to try arrange drop off and pick up. It’s like there is only one person running the company. At drop off I was waiting for over an hour at 5am for someone to collect my keys and take the car. I told my wife and young kids to go ahead through security whilst I waited and I had to then sprint straight to the gate and made it by only a few mins before closing. They also don’t tell you that you need to pay a £13 parking fee for leaving your car in there for 30 mins when dropping off. But due to me being there over an hour it was over £20

Key collection was even worse, I made various calls to them which were not answered, I finally got through to them and they said they had parked it and left the keys on the front wheel then I was stung with an extra £30 parking ticket because it had been sitting there for well over an hour.

I’ve wasted over £130 using their services. Take my advice and don’t ever use this company. They’re scammers!

DO NOT USE this company!!!

We've had some poor experiences with 'Meet and Greet.' Swift are the worst.
Firstly, they quote call them 30 minutes before arriving, we did, and still had to wait another 15 minutes.
On return, they quote the same, when you had collected your bags, please call and we will arrive in 30 minutes, which is odd when you collect your baggage in Stansted, it take about 10 minutes to get the the collection point.
No one arrived for over an hour. I called repeatedly and the hung up. There was no apology when we collected the car, and they also left a sandwich wrapper in the car that belonged to them.

I would have given them ZERO stars - they are pathetic!

I am extremely dissatisfied with the service provided by Swift Meet and Greet at Stansted Airport and will be pursuing this further.

I followed the instructions and called 30 minutes before arrival, only to find the phone line closed. After finally getting through, I then had to wait around 30 minutes just to drop off the car.

On return, I was told to wait between 15 and 55 minutes. During that time I called five times and received inconsistent and misleading information on each call. In reality, I waited approximately 1.5 hours, along with several other frustrated customers.

To make matters worse, the vehicle was returned with the keys left on the front wheel, which is completely unacceptable and raises serious security concerns.

This service falls far below any reasonable standard and is not what was advertised. I expect a formal response and compensation for the inconvenience and poor handling of my vehicle.

Wouldn’t give 1 star

Wouldn’t give 1 star but lowest you can give.

What a huge disappointment of a company and will be leaving a terrible review.

First off the drop off was ok, service wasn’t too bad but nothing special.

The collection of my vehicle on the other hand was an experience, I called 30 mins before hand to collect my car which admittedly was early however it happens with flights, you plan for delays and security but was told I’d have to wait upto an hour.

I had to go collect my own vehicle which was then £37 in an uber to the postcode and place I was told which was not correct, it was 5 minutes away from where I was in the uber which isn’t massive problem but when you get told that your wasting there time and that it was my fault not the best representation of a company that you want to be leaving your car with.

Finally arrive and two rude and obnoxious men after repeating myself multiple with my registration and vehicle they couldn’t even get it out or ready.

Pathetic excuse of a company and if anything not worth the money to leave your car there with the service I received.
