Compare Park & Ride, Meet & Greet, and Long Stay — Updated 2026
Heathrow Airport parking is the UK's most-searched parking market — 80+ million passengers annually creates massive demand for off-site Park & Ride and Meet & Greet alternatives to Heathrow's on-site rates. The cheapest options sit 3-8 miles from terminal with shuttle bus included — a 2-week trip can cost as little as £75 total via off-site Park & Ride versus £350+ on-site.

FAQ
Which Heathrow parking is cheapest?+
Off-site Park & Ride is consistently the cheapest — operators like Purple Parking, APH, and Maple Manor sit 3-8 miles from terminals and run free shuttle buses. Booking 4+ weeks ahead saves 20-30% versus on-the-day rates.
Is Meet & Greet at Heathrow worth it?+
For families with young children, business travellers with tight schedules, or anyone going to Terminal 4 or 5 (the furthest from on-site car parks): yes. Meet & Greet saves 30-45 minutes of shuttle transit each way.
Can I book Heathrow parking on arrival?+
Yes, but you'll pay 30-50% more than booking online in advance. On-site Short Stay always has space. Long Stay sometimes fills during peak windows (school holidays, August, Christmas). For Park & Ride and Meet & Greet, advance booking is essentially mandatory — operators often refuse same-day arrivals.
Which terminal is which Heathrow car park near?+
Terminal 2 (Star Alliance): Short Stay 2, Long Stay car park 2. Terminal 3 (Oneworld, mostly): Short Stay 3, Long Stay 3. Terminal 4 (SkyTeam): on-site Short Stay 4. Terminal 5 (British Airways): Short Stay 5 + a dedicated Business Parking. Off-site operators serve all four terminals equally via shuttle.
