Why choose Heathrow Official Parking rather than off-airport parking? 

Heathrow does not licence or endorse any third-party operators, recommending Official Heathrow Parking products only.

Our ability to prevent such operators from coming to the Airport is limited for a number of reasons. First, we are bound by strict competition rules. Second, third-party operators use customers' vehicles, meaning that it is difficult to identify them or to meaningfully enforce against them. In addition, the majority of third-party parking operators do not wear identifying clothing, which makes it difficult to differentiate between them from any other customer.

Complaints from passengers who have fallen foul of rogue parking operators at Heathrow have varied from cars being returned in disrepair, late or not returned at all, vehicles left in unsecure locations and, in extreme cases, used for criminal activities.

Please refer to our parking booking guidance and checklist for what to look out for when booking parking.

Unsure which parking option is the best value for you? We’re here to help

Heathrow’s Official Parking has a range of products that can be suitable for every individual’s needs when travelling from, or even dropping-off or picking-up, from Heathrow.

Our Short Stay car parks are the closest car parks to each of the terminals, making it a great option for those looking for convenience and no transfer from the car park to the terminal.

Long Stay is our cheapest official product, meaning it is great value for both longer and short parking terms, whilst still being no more than 15-minutes from the terminals.

Start your journey off in style with our Business Parking, where a business-class shuttle bus will efficiently drop you at you chosen terminal’s doors, ideal for customers looking for faster transfers and convenient, airport perimeter-located car parks.

Great for passengers looking for a smooth, hassle-free parking experience at both ends of their journey, Meet & Greet Parking operates from our Short Stay car parks. Our professional team will take care of your vehicle with damage limitation cameras in use, secure on-airport storage sites, and no wait for your vehicle on your return.

Parking doesn’t get any easier than with our Valet Parking. Drop-off your car in a dedicated area on your chosen terminal’s forecourt, before making the short walk across to departures, and when you return, your vehicle will be waiting for you.  

Experience our unique POD Parking, where driverless, on-demand vehicles will take you between the car park to Terminal 5 with ultra-efficiency, whilst also offering the flexibility of keeping your keys.

When dropping-off at Heathrow, use of our Terminal forecourts costs £5.00, however you can’t drop-off any closer to your chosen terminal. Alternatively, drop-offs can be made in our Long Stay car parks, transferring via our free shuttle buses, with the up-to 30-minutes being free.

You are not able to make pick-ups from our Terminal forecourts, with the closest pick-up location to any of our terminals being the Short Stay car parks. You can also make pick-ups from our Long Stay car parks, with stays being free if less than 30-minutes.

The best parking option for you at Heathrow depends on your personal circumstances, though we would recommend booking your parking in advance of your stay to benefit from our best rates.
