What is the cheapest car park at Heathrow?

Park Inn Heathrow is the cheapest Heathrow car park at £56.70 for 8 days (£7.09/day). The 5 cheapest options are Park Inn (£56.70), Gregg Maurice (£60.30), Premium Parking (£63.90), Express Parking (£65.70) and Purple Parking (£80.06), all off-airport.

Off-airport sites beat the gate price dramatically. Heathrow Terminal Parking turn-up reaches £98 for 12-24 hours and £98 for each extra day, so an 8-day turn-up exceeds £780 against £56.70 pre-booked at Park Inn. Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead with Britain Car Parks to lock the lowest rate, and add free cancellation cover to book early without risk.

Which Heathrow terminal am I flying from?

Heathrow's terminals sit miles apart: T2 and T3 are central via the main tunnel, T4 is to the far south, and T5 is to the west. Check your e-ticket and book parking for the correct terminal, the wrong choice forces a long inter-terminal transfer on departure day.

Terminal allocations change with airline operational shifts, so verify your terminal on your booking rather than a generic list. Terminal 5 offers Heathrow's full set of official products, including the unique Pod Parking. Booking the correct terminal removes unnecessary train or shuttle rides and gets you to check-in fast. The dedicated Heathrow Terminal 5 parking and Terminal 2 parking pages list the best picks per terminal.

Which 6 official Heathrow parking deals do we list?

We list all 6 official Heathrow products: Terminal Parking, Park & Ride, Priority Park & Ride, Meet & Greet, Valet and Pod Parking. Our Park & Ride is the cheapest official deal; Terminal Parking is closest to check-in; Pod Parking is exclusive to Terminal 5.

Terminal Parking places you in multi-storey decks next to T2, T3, T4 and T5, a 1-3 minute walk to check-in, keys retained. Best for trips under 3 days.

Park & Ride sits on the perimeter with a free shuttle every 10-15 minutes (10-12 minute transit), keys retained. The only official facility offering free drop-off, and ideal for 1-2 week holidays.

Priority Park & Ride serves T2, T3 and T5 with closer compounds and a faster 5-8 minute shuttle.

Meet & Greet takes your keys at a reception inside Terminal Parking; insured staff park the car on-site.

Valet collects your car at the forecourt and often adds an optional car wash.

Pod Parking at Terminal 5 uses a driverless electric pod to carry you into the terminal in 6 minutes.

Which off-airport Heathrow deals do we offer?

We have off-airport Heathrow deals including Park Inn, Purple Parking, Gregg Maurice, Premium Parking and MBW. All hold Park Mark accreditation and run shuttles of 15-20 minutes to the terminals. Our Park Inn deal is cheapest at £56.70 for 8 days.

Our Park Inn Heathrow deal offers secure hotel-based Park & Ride with reliable shuttles, strongest value for the central T2 and T3.

Purple Parking runs a highly secure compound with frequent recognisable shuttles to the terminal doors, monitored by 24/7 CCTV and patrols.

Our Gregg Maurice deal sits outside the ULEZ boundary, with a 15-20 minute shuttle, booking it avoids the £12.50 daily ULEZ charge.

Premium Parking and MBW deliver off-site Meet & Greet, meeting you at the forecourt and storing the car in Park Mark compounds.

What is Heathrow Pod Parking?

Our Pod Parking deal is an Official Terminal 5 service where you park, keep your keys, and ride a driverless electric pod into the terminal in 6 minutes. It costs £186.84 for 8 days, is fully wheelchair-accessible, and you can book it with us.

The autonomous pod glides along a dedicated track, removing the wait for a shuttle bus entirely. It is exclusive to Terminal 5 passengers and ranks as one of the most efficient airport transfers in the UK. Reserve your Pod Parking space with us using the search above, with promo code BCP30 applied at checkout.

Which Heathrow car parks let you keep your keys?

You keep your keys at all Park & Ride and self-park deals we list at Heathrow, including Park Inn, Purple Parking, Triangle, the Official Park & Ride, Priority Park & Ride, Pod Parking and Terminal Parking. You hand keys over only for our Meet & Greet and Valet deals.

Keep-keys parking suits drivers who prefer no one else handles their vehicle. Meet & Greet and Valet take the keys and park the car for you while you walk to check-in. Every car park in the table above is bookable with Britain Car Parks, filter by keep-keys status, then reserve in seconds. Confirm your number plate is correct, because Heathrow uses ANPR cameras throughout.

Is Heathrow in the ULEZ zone?

Yes, Heathrow sits entirely within the London ULEZ. Non-compliant vehicles pay £12.50 daily, and crossing midnight triggers two charges (£25). Fully electric vehicles are exempt. Booking Gregg Maurice or Terminal Parking Park & Ride with us keeps your car outside the zone.

The ULEZ runs midnight to midnight, so a late-night drop-off followed by a post-midnight exit counts as two daily charges. Vehicles below Euro 4 petrol or Euro 6 diesel standards incur the fee. Choosing an off-airport Park & Ride positioned outside the ULEZ boundary, such as Gregg Maurice, avoids the charge entirely, a saving competitors rarely flag. Confirm a car park's ULEZ status when you search with Britain Car Parks.

How much is the drop-off charge at Heathrow?

Heathrow charges £7 each time a vehicle enters a terminal drop-off zone at T2, T3, T4 and T5. ANPR cameras scan your plate, there are no barriers. Pay online by midnight the next day or face an £80 penalty, reduced to £40 within 14 days.

Re-entering the zone triggers another £7 charge. The only free drop-off is at the Park & Ride compounds, not the terminal forecourts: drop passengers there and they take the free shuttle to the terminal. Picking up from the forecourts is prohibited, and unattended cars are removed. Use a near-terminal car park, just a 2-minute walk from the doors, to wait for arrivals legally.

How much does it cost to turn up and park at Heathrow?

Heathrow Terminal Parking turn-up starts at £8 for 29 minutes and reaches £98 for 12-24 hours. Park & Ride turn-up gives 29 minutes free, then £46.80 the first day and £37.40 each extra day. Pre-booking from £56.70 for 8 days beats both.

Stays under 24 hours cannot be pre-booked and use pay-on-foot machines. The gate tariff climbs steeply, which is why advance booking with Britain Car Parks saves up to 80%. Terminal Parking turn-up rates:

Park & Ride turn-up costs less but a pre-booked space still wins:

Which Heathrow car parks have EV charging?

Our MBW Meet & Greet EV deal (£147.51 for 8 days) charges your car at an off-site compound. The Pod Parking lot and Official Terminal car parks also have charging points. Fully electric vehicles are exempt from the Heathrow ULEZ charge.

An EV Meet & Greet service returns your car charged and ready on arrival. MBW provides the dedicated EV option, with a Terminal 4 variant available. Search your dates with Britain Car Parks to confirm the charging option, then book your EV space in seconds with promo code BCP30 applied.

Is a Heathrow hotel with parking worth it?

Our Heathrow hotel-with-parking packages remove the pre-dawn M25 drive and include an overnight stay plus parking for the trip. Connected hotels we offer include the Sofitel (T5), Hilton (T4) and Aerotel (inside T3 arrivals).

A "stay, park and fly" package suits early departures, placing you minutes from the terminal the night before. The Bath Road hotel strip, Premier Inn, Thistle, Holiday Inn, bundles budget rooms with long-term parking, reaching terminals via the Hotel Hoppa bus. Compare Heathrow hotel-and-parking packages through the Hotel + Parking tab in the search above and book the full package with us in one transaction.

Do Blue Badge holders pay to park at Heathrow?

Heathrow provides extra-wide Blue Badge bays across all Terminal Parking and Park & Ride facilities. Standard tariffs apply to booked parking. The Park & Ride shuttles and the Terminal 5 Pod Parking are fully wheelchair-accessible with lowering suspension and ramps.

Special Assistance points sit throughout all terminals and car parks, providing mobility support, wheelchair help and Sunflower lanyards for hidden disabilities. The accessible shuttle fleet connects the Park & Ride compounds to the terminals. Meet & Greet operators offer a convenient accessible alternative, dropping you at the terminal door, bookable with Britain Car Parks alongside any space.
