Your in control logs all journeys with dates, times & distances, so if you check it when away it will show up if the car has been moved. Hope your not using meet & greet cos that's when they leave it in a suburban street or a muddy field after using it for a house removal |

Thanks. That was going to be my fall back option but just wondered whether the car could tell me rather than me ask the car! I suspect the answer’s no and it’s too tricky for LR to do, given the difficulty they seem to have doing some of the most basic stuff. |

Not too difficult for LR as they are nothing to do with it! If you contact the controlling centre and tell them they will put a special watch on your car so they get an alert as soon as it moves within the car park. I used to tell them whenever I went to sea and most often they had to contact me to ask to move the car so that they could update software or because the car’s battery had gone flat and was alerting them that there was an issue with the alert system! The latter was solved after LRA came out to restart the car one January and the tec showed me where to wire up my little solar trickle charger to, after that no more flat battery alerts! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Very few long stay car parks ask for the keys now. I would not use one who does. You usually just check in & park your car or park up & check in. Maybe leaving it at a hotel is different where you leave your keys. Few years ago my pal left his at a hotel & when he returned there was an empty space. Never saw the car again.

Tim's suggestion is probably best, there is a minimum distance you have to drive before the app considers it a journey.

If it is Glasgow Airport the long stay parking can be a bargain if you book on line, you park in th normal multistory just in front of the terminal ( where the quick drop off and pick up is not the open air one) and if you pay a bit more you can get VIP quick transit through the security. I now use that instead of the off site car parking when I go to London for a week or longer and you don’t leave your keys with anyone. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Thanks all. It’ll be a car park at Manchester airport (anyone know a good one?) so quite a way from home in Scotland. There seem to be a few where you keep the key but most seem to say you leave it with them, although whether you do or not remains to be seen. Must say I’d prefer to keep the keys with me, then at least I know my car isn’t at risk of being joyridden - just scratched or bumped into... |

Just use the Manchester airport official car parking website. You can park a few minutes walk from the terminal and no mention of keeping your keys. I've never been asked for my keys in official parking at any UK airport except when using meet and greet.

Recommend APH for Manchester, used them many times including the meet and greet service. Very reputable company and if you go via a cashback site you can get money off |
