Reducing Carbon Footprints with Help-Me-Park.com

Gatwick, West Sussex, United Kingdom, June 06, 2008 --(PR.com)-- With air travellers urged to consider their carbon footprint, for many, it’s difficult. Whether flying for business or pleasure, air travel can be essential. As much as the Government urge the public to lessen the amount air travel is undertaken it isn’t necessarily a very realistic view. Business deals need to be clinched. And who really doesn’t want to forgo a well deserved holiday in the sun or snow?

That’s why Help-Me-Park, one of Gatwick Airport’s leading Meet and Greet parking providers, can genuinely help a traveller reduce their carbon footprint.

Using Help-Me-Park’s Meet and Greet airport parking genuinely means that travellers use less fuel and omit fewer harmful emissions than if getting family, friends or business colleagues to undertake the traditional ‘airport run’.

Here’s how it works…
· If a passenger lives 80 miles away from Gatwick Airport it needs to be made 4 times in order to be dropped off and picked up again.
· This equates to a huge total airport run of 320 miles.
· Instead, drive straight to Gatwick Airport – 80 miles.
· Meet directly outside the terminal Help-Me-Park’s full insured driver.
· The Help-Me-Park driver takes the vehicle just 7 miles away to their 24/7 security locked, CCTV protected compound. A total of just 87 miles.
· Taking into account the return journey, when passengers are met right outside the terminal building by the Help-Me-Park driver, they are ready to drive straight home.
· This equates to just 174 miles.
· That’s an important 146 miles less.

Even when travelling by taxi the same number of miles – 160 or 320 – are travelled. All of this adds to congestion and pollution. Not to mention the cost.

What’s more, many families travelling with young children are concerned about their carbon footprint and the effects it will have on their children’s future. With the Help-Me-Park Meet and Greet service they can help make a difference when flying from Gatwick Airport. Not to mention the stresses and strains of travelling on public transport with small children and heavy luggage.

As well as reducing their carbon footprint, families find the Meet and Greet service hugely convenient. There’s no remote car park to find. No unloading baggage and reloading onto a transfer bus. No getting wet and cold. And most importantly, no worrying about small children and babies on a bus with no child/baby seating.

· Meet and Greet is the only answer for many travellers.
· Combine that with the unique ‘no waiting – money back’ guarantee offered by Help-Me-Park it should definitely be the only answer.

Elderly passengers also find big benefits in Help-Me-Park Meet and Greet airport parking. Their fully insured, mature drivers instil confidence that they and their vehicle will come to no harm. Those passengers travelling with disabilities find travelling in their own vehicle, straight up to the terminal very beneficial. Not to mention those travelling with heavy luggage – ski equipment for example – that’s awkward to get on and off a transfer bus.
