Compare Heathrow Airport Parking Costs

Most airport parking pages show only a single pre-booked rate. When you compare through Heathrow airport parking deals properly, you see the full picture: official drive-up prices, pre-booked alternatives, and additional costs travellers often miss.

Parking Type	Official Heathrow (drive-up)	Heathrow Airport Parking Deals (pre-booked)
1 week, Meet & Greet	£660+	£72–£130
1 week, Park & Ride	£160+	£52–£110

Official Heathrow prices are based on published drive-up rates. Pre-booked prices are indicative ranges. Enter your dates above to compare Heathrow airport parking deals with live prices.

Is it cheaper to park at Heathrow or take the train?

This depends on how many people are travelling.

Parking Type	Drive + park (8 days)	Heathrow Express (return)
Solo traveller	Park & Ride: £52	£37.90
2 passengers	£52	£75.80
3 passengers	£52	£113.70
4 passengers(Family)	£52	£151.60

For two or more passengers, pre-booked parking is often cheaper than the Heathrow Express. For solo travellers, the Elizabeth Line may be the better option.

The ULEZ cost to factor in

The £12.50 daily ULEZ charge applies if your vehicle does not meet emission standards. For most trips, that adds £25 return. Check your vehicle status at tfl.gov.uk before travelling. This cost should be included when you compare Heathrow airport parking deals.

Parking types at Heathrow

The two Types of Heathrow Airport Parking Deals

Rather than listing features, here is what each option looks like in practice from the moment you leave home.

Meet & Greet: what happens on the day

You drive to your Heathrow departure terminal and follow signs to the Meet & Greet drop-off bay. A uniformed, insured driver checks your vehicle’s condition. Many providers at T2, T3, and T5 photograph it using 360-degree cameras at this point, creating a record for both you and them. You hand over the keys and walk directly to the terminal entrance, typically 2–5 minutes from the handover point. The driver parks your car in a secured, CCTV-monitored compound nearby.

When you land, call the number in your confirmation email as you clear baggage. Your car will be ready at the designated return area by the time you reach it. The whole process from landing to driving home is typically 15–25 minutes.

T2 Meet & Greet reception: Level 1, Terminal 2 car park

T3 Meet & Greet reception: Level 1, Terminal 3 car park

T4 Meet & Greet reception: Level 1, Terminal 4 car park

T5 Meet & Greet reception: Level 4, Terminal 5 car park – different from all other terminals

Flying British Airways from T5?
This Affects Your Heathrow Airport Parking Deal

Terminal 5 is the only Heathrow terminal where your specific departure gate can add 15-25 minutes to your check-in process. British Airways operates from three buildings within T5 - T5A, T5B, and T5C - and not all gates are equally close to the front door.

T5A

Main terminal building. Most BA short-haul + some long-haul. Fastest to check-in.

Drop-off timeNo extra time needed

T5B satellite

Dedicated BA international pier. Underground transit from T5A.

Drop-off timeAdd 15–20 minutes

T5C satellite

Additional BA departure pier. Underground transit from T5A.

Drop-off timeAdd 15–20 minutes

Compare Heathrow Airport Parking Costs Beyond the Price

Heathrow Airport Parking Deals tells you about the costs most travellers only discover on travel day. Every comparison should include these.

ULEZ Charges

London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone expanded to cover Heathrow in August 2023. If your vehicle does not meet ULEZ emission standards, you pay £12.50 per day — £25 for a return trip. Most petrol cars registered after January 2006 and diesel cars registered after September 2015 are compliant. Check your vehicle’s status at tfl.gov.uk before driving to Heathrow. This check takes 30 seconds and costs nothing.

EV charging at Heathrow

Charging options at Heathrow and nearby car parks are limited and not guaranteed. If you drive an electric vehicle, charge it fully before your trip and identify a rapid-charging point on your return route. Arriving at Heathrow in a low-charge vehicle with limited charging available is a genuinely stressful way to start or finish a journey.

Blue Badge holders

Disabled parking spaces are available at all official Heathrow long stay car parks for all four terminals, on a first-come first-served basis. The first two hours are free for Blue Badge holders in the Long Stay car parks. For terminal forecourt drop-off concessions, apply in advance via heathrow.com — not at the gate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest parking at Heathrow Airport?

The cheapest parking at Heathrow is Park & Ride, starting from approximately £52 for 8 days when booked in advance through Airport Parking Deals. This is significantly cheaper than official Heathrow short stay parking, which can cost over £660 for a week at drive-up prices. Booking early will secure the lowest available rate.

How much does Heathrow airport parking cost for a week?

A week’s Heathrow parking booked in advance through Airport Parking Deals typically ranges from £52 – £85 for Park & Ride and £70 – £150 for Meet & Greet, depending on your travel dates and how far in advance you book. On-the-day drive-up parking at Heathrow’s official short stay car parks can exceed £660 for the same period.

Which terminal should I choose when booking Heathrow parking?

Always book parking matched to your departure terminal. British Airways and Iberia use Terminal 5. Star Alliance airlines including Lufthansa, United, and Singapore Airlines use Terminal 2. American Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, and Qantas use Terminal 3. Terminal 4 handles Malaysia Airlines and some charter operators. Check your booking confirmation if unsure.

Is Meet & Greet parking safe at Heathrow?

Yes. All Meet & Greet providers on Airport Parking Deals use CCTV-monitored, secured compounds and insured, trained drivers. Many providers at Terminals 2, 3, and 5 use 360-degree damage limitation cameras at drop-off, giving you a full photographic record of your car’s condition. Vehicles are stored securely and returned to the terminal on your arrival.

How far in advance should I book Heathrow parking?

For the best price and availability, book at least 2–4 weeks before departure. During peak periods — July, August, Easter, Christmas, and school half-terms — popular Terminal 5 options in particular can sell out weeks in advance. Booking 4–6 weeks ahead during these periods is strongly recommended.

Does ULEZ apply at Heathrow Airport?

Yes. London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) was expanded in August 2023 to cover the area around Heathrow Airport. Vehicles that do not meet ULEZ emission standards face a daily charge of £12.50. Most modern petrol cars (registered after 2006) and diesel cars (registered after 2015) are compliant. Check your vehicle at tfl.gov.uk before travelling.

Is there EV charging at Heathrow airport car parks?

No. As of 2025, there are no EV charging facilities at Heathrow Airport or at the off-airport car parks serving it. If you are driving an electric vehicle, ensure it is fully charged before travelling to Heathrow and plan a charging stop on your return route if needed.

How long does the Park & Ride shuttle take at Heathrow?

Shuttle times from Park & Ride facilities to Heathrow terminals are typically 10–20 minutes, depending on the car park and traffic conditions. Shuttles generally run every 10–15 minutes from 04:00 to midnight, with on-demand overnight service. Your confirmation email will include the specific shuttle schedule and pickup instructions for your provider.

Can I park at Heathrow if I’m flying from one terminal and returning to another?

Yes. Most providers listed on Airport Parking Deals cover all four Heathrow terminals, so if your outbound and inbound flights use different terminals, your vehicle is still covered. Check your provider’s terminal coverage on their listing page, and include your return terminal in your booking details so the driver knows where to deliver your car.

Is it cheaper to park at Heathrow or get the train?

For solo travellers, the Heathrow Express or Elizabeth Line is often cheaper than parking. For two or more people, pre-booked airport parking through Airport Parking Deals is frequently cheaper than multiple train fares, particularly for longer stays. Park & Ride from £52 for 7 days compares favourably with return Heathrow Express fares for two passengers, which can exceed £60.

Can I cancel my Heathrow parking booking?

Bookings through Airport Parking Deals include options cancellation cover. Check terms and condition before booking.
