Elderly gran waited three hours at airport for her 'undriveable' car which then cost £700 to fix

An elderly holidaymaker was left furious after a meet and greet parking service returned her car in an 'undriveable' state. After landing back in the UK at 10pm, 82-year-old Madeline Tretton faced a three-hour wait before the parking service brought back her vehicle.

But it was in such a bad state, said the grandmother, she couldn't drive it home to Lytham. To add insult to injury, Madeline was then slapped with a repair bill of £700. One of the wheels still rattles, she said.

Madeline had enjoyed a sunny 10-day break in Gran Canaria, Lancashire Live reported, and landed back at Manchester Airport on March 10. She had used a parking service, registered to a field close by in Styal.
