Essex County Council Trading Standards issues meet and greet warning

Essex County Council Trading Standards has issued a warning about meet and greet parking, advising travellers to research their chosen company carefully before booking.

Trading Standards has a Buy with Confidence award which is given to reputable businesses that have been vetted and approved by Trading Standards to ensure that they operate in a legal, honest and fair way.

Gatwick Airport recently introduced an Approved Operator scheme for Gatwick meet and greet parking companies - one of the main criteria is to achieve the Buy with Confidence award.
