Heathrow Meet & Greet Parking

Meet & Greet Parking involves you dropping off your car in a dedicated area where a representative of the car parking company will take your car keys and park the vehicle on your behalf. You can then proceed to the check-in hassle-free. Upon your return, you either need to go to the Meet & Greet Reception or call a phone number provided and your car will be returned to you. This process differs slightly based on whether you opt to park with the official Heathrow Meet & Greet or an alternative independent parking company.

Alternatives: Several companies offer chauffeur-driven Meet and Greet services, such as Purple Parking, APH Meet & Greet, and Good to Go.

Heathrow Long Stay Parking

Aimed at travellers who are going to be away for more than a couple of days, Heathrow Airport's own three official car parks offer excellent secure parking facilities. They operate all year round, all have been awarded the Park Mark award, and are easily accessible.

The on-airport car parks serve T2, T3, T4 and T5 and offer free courtesy coach services transferring customers to and from the terminals. They are manned 24 hours and have a total amount of 5684 spaces available.

Alternatives: One of the main off-airport Heathrow parking compounds is Purple Parking, based about 15 minutes away. The largest car park in the London Heathrow area, this compound has the capacity of nearly 13,000 spaces. The car park is open all year round and suitable for both long and short stays as there is no minimum stay. There are plenty of other off-airport options now, too, so you can pick one that suits you. These are usually cheaper than the on-airport options, but it may take longer to get connected to and from the terminal buildings via the transfer bus. Keep an eye out for how frequent the transfers are so you know how long you should have to wait.

If parking further away does not suit you, and you prefer your car to be parked at the airport, you can choose from a range of options that cater to all terminals. Some car parks are much closer and have shorter transfer times of just 3-5 minutes.
