Meet &Greet Airport Patking

I recently parked at meet & Greet at EMA. When we collected our car at around 2am in the dark with our disabled daughter, we just left. When we got home and took the cases out we noticed damage to the passenger door.

MAG group are saying we should have reported this before leaving the carpark.
They have video footage of us entering the carpark without damage surly they are accountable for the damage. The driver would have known they have hit something due to two dints and the paint scratched down to the metal

We would suggest starting with a close read of the terms and conditions of the meet and greet service. It is possible that one of the conditions is that when collecting the vehicle, signing for the keys or leaving the car park is deemed acceptance of the vehicle's condition and that any damage must be reported at the time. If this is the case it will be difficult to get them to accept that they are responsible for the damage, as you will likely need to provide evidence that shows the vehicle was already damaged when it was handed back to you. We would suggest following their complaints procedure, and if this is unsuccessful to escalate to a parking trade body such as the British Parking Association or the Civil Aviation Authority.
