A holidaymaker had his car "written off" after entrusting it to the Meet and Greet service at Manchester Airport. Ioan Williams, along with his children Ela and Sion, flew out from the airport on August 9 for a trip to Alicante. His white Range Rover was left in the care of the airport's Meet and Greet service.
According to Ioan, the vehicle "didn't have a scratch on it". However, upon their return a week later, he was informed of an incident. Expecting a minor issue, he was shocked to find the driver's side wheel at an abnormal angle.
The repair quote from insurers came in at £15,800 - effectively writing off the car. While Ioan acknowledges that both the airport and his own insurers are working together on the matter, he is frustrated by the lack of an apology or compensation offer. Ioan, who hails from near Caernarfon, stated: "I left the car with them on the 9th of August.
This is the official meet and greet at Terminal 2 and a camera surveys your car before you enter the car park to assess any pre-existing damage.", reports . "My car didn't even have as much as a scratch on it.
I handed my keys over inside the terminal where they gave me a receipt. We then went away on our holiday." They returned at 1am on August 16.
Ioan, 44, recounted: "I went to get some coffee while my friends, who also parked there, went ahead of me. When I arrived at the pick up for meet and greet, I saw my friends loading their luggage into their car. I went to scan my barcode to retrieve my keys.
