Heathrow parking questions

How much is drop-off at Heathrow?

£7 per visit at the terminal drop-off zones, payable by midnight the day after. Free drop-off at the Park & Ride car parks (formerly Long Stay) with a free bus transfer to the terminal.

What should I check about my departure area at Heathrow?

Check your flight’s departure terminal and the car park’s walking or transfer route before booking. Airport reference labels in this guide: Terminal 2, Terminal 3, Terminal 4, Terminal 5.

Is it cheaper to book Heathrow parking in advance?

Pre-booking is normally cheaper than turning up and paying the gate price, at Heathrow as at most UK airports. Prices are set by the car park operator and change with demand, so compare the airport's own car parks against the booking partners before you travel.

Can I park at Heathrow with a Blue Badge?

Blue Badge spaces are available at UK airports, but the concession offered varies by airport and car park. Check the official Heathrow parking pages for current Blue Badge terms before travelling.
