Parking is available for Heathrow Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5, although not every product serves every terminal. Check the terminal coverage, transfer arrangements and parking instructions before booking.

Are there parking options at all Heathrow Airport terminals?

When choosing Heathrow Airport parking, check which terminal your flight uses. Some parking products serve more than one terminal, while others are specific to an individual terminal.
For further information about terminal facilities and airlines, read our guide to Heathrow Airport terminals. Airline terminal allocations can change, so confirm your departure terminal with your airline before travelling.
How to save money on Heathrow Airport parking
Comparing parking products and booking in advance may help you find competitive Heathrow Airport parking prices. The total cost depends on your travel dates, length of stay, availability and the service selected.
1. Sign up for APH offers

Discounts are subject to their individual terms and may not apply to every Heathrow Airport parking product.

Historical APH booking data illustrates how average daily prices differed according to booking lead time:
| Booking Timeframe | Historical Average Per Day | Illustrative 7-Day Cost | Difference vs 1 Week Before |
|---|---|---|---|
| Over 6 months before | £6.17 | £43.19 | £71.75 lower |
| 6 months before | £9.01 | £63.07 | £51.87 lower |

| 1 week before | £16.42 | £114.94 | Reference point |
In this historical comparison, bookings made more than six months before departure averaged £6.17 per day, compared with £16.42 for bookings made one week before travel. The illustrative difference for a seven-day stay is £71.75.
These figures compare different bookings rather than the same product for identical travel dates. They do not represent live quotes or guaranteed savings. The original analysis period should be confirmed before presenting the figures as current.
3. Compare Park & Ride parking
Off-airport Park & Ride can be a competitively priced alternative to parking close to the terminal. These services generally include a shuttle transfer, so allow additional time for the journey between the car park and airport.
For example, Maple Express Park & Ride for Terminals 2 and 3 is one option worth comparing. Check the product's current terminal coverage, transfer frequency, journey time and key-handling arrangements before booking.
How does on-airport parking at Heathrow work?
On-airport parking is located within Heathrow Airport's grounds. Depending on the product, you may park within walking distance of the terminal or use a shuttle transfer.
Self-park products generally allow you to choose a space and keep your keys. However, arrival arrangements vary, so follow the instructions in your booking confirmation.
Typical on-airport parking process:
Drive to the car park → Find a parking space → Walk or transfer to your terminal → Enjoy your trip → Return and collect your vehicle
On-airport parking can be particularly convenient for business travellers, shorter stays and passengers who prefer parking within the airport grounds. Compare the distance to your terminal and the total price before booking.
How does off-airport parking at Heathrow work?
Off-airport parking is located outside Heathrow Airport's grounds and usually includes a shuttle transfer to the terminal.
APH offers selected off-airport products from operators such as Park Giant and Maple Parking. Available products, terminal coverage and parking arrangements may change.
Depending on the product, you may park your own vehicle or hand over your keys so the operator can park it for you.
Typical off-airport parking process:
Drive to the car park → Park or hand over your vehicle → Take the shuttle transfer to your terminal → Enjoy your trip → Return by shuttle and collect your vehicle
Off-airport parking can offer competitive prices, especially for longer stays. Check the transfer time, frequency and whether you need to leave your keys when comparing products.
How does Heathrow Meet & Greet parking work?
Meet & Greet parking allows you to hand over your vehicle at a designated meeting point near your Heathrow terminal. A parking representative then takes your car to the operator's designated parking facility while you travel.
Unlike Park & Ride, Meet & Greet generally does not require a separate shuttle transfer. This can be particularly convenient for families with luggage, business travellers and passengers who prefer terminal-side vehicle handover.
Typical Meet & Greet process:
Drive to the designated meeting point → Hand over your vehicle and keys → Walk to departures → Enjoy your trip → Follow the collection instructions on your return
Some products may offer additional services, such as electric vehicle charging, subject to availability and charges. Check the product details for meeting points, vehicle storage arrangements and any optional extras.

Do you offer Heathrow Airport hotel and parking packages?
Yes. APH offers Heathrow Airport hotel and parking packages that combine an overnight hotel stay with parking for your trip.
These packages can be particularly useful if you have an early departure, a long journey to Heathrow or are travelling with children. Depending on the dates and hotel selected, a combined package may offer better value than booking accommodation and parking separately.
Compare the available packages for your travel dates, including hotel location, parking arrangements, transfers and cancellation conditions.
