Heathrow Terminal 3 Hotels with Parking & Transfers
Whether you decide to stay at home or in the comfort of a four-star hotel, if you drive to the airport, you will face a parking and transfer system to get you to the check-in desks in plenty of time. We offer a range of hotels with transfers and parking options near terminal 3 at Heathrow. We have parking options including parking at your chosen hotel, in a secure car park, or arranging Meet and Greet parking.
Parking at the hotel
This could be the best option for you if you decide to rest your head the night before your journey. Parking at the hotel not only affords you the benefit of avoiding morning traffic, but they often have parking packages for their on-site parking, allowing you to leave your vehicle safely on their premises.
For example, at the Holiday Inn London Heathrow – Ariel, you park overnight for a separate fee and then park at the hotel as part of a stay and park package. On the day of your flight, you leave your car at the hotel and take the Heathrow Hoppa Service, which is booked on the day of your arrival at the hotel. This quick transfer takes you to the terminal. When you return, you take the same service back to the hotel, where you can collect your vehicle.
Off-site Secured Parking
For those who have driven to the airport from home, this will be the best option. Off-site secured parking involves parking your car at a security-protected car park which will have long, mid and short-stay parking rates.
If you opt to stay at the Leonardo Hotel, you can take advantage of the Drivefly parking package, and leave your vehicle at the hotel’s car park overnight for a small fee. On the day of your journey, you will drive to the Drivefly Park & Ride Heathrow T2 & T3, where you will catch a free transfer service that takes only 10-15-minutes to reach the terminal. These transfers run every 15-20-minutes, and the same system applies upon your return. When you arrive back at the car park, you will be taken to collect your car.
The transfer time for each secure off-site car park will vary, however.
- Drivefly Park & Ride Heathrow T2 & T3: Transfer time 10-15-minutes, frequency every 15-20-minutes, operates from 04:00 to 00:00.
- Good to Go Park & Ride Terminals 2 & 3: transfer time 7-15-minutes, frequency every 10-minutes, 24-hour operation.
- NCP Flightpath Terminals 2 and 3: transfer time 10-minutes, frequency 20-minutes, operates from 04:00 to 23:40.
Meet and Greet
This is a great way to park if you are looking for the ultimate convenience when it comes to being within walking distance from the terminal. With this package, you park in a drop-off zone where your car will be handed over to a trusted member of staff. From there you just walk to the check-in desks.
If you are staying at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Heathrow hotel and want to have ease and comfort with your parking package, then their Meet & Greet deal will make the day of your travel as easy as possible. You stay overnight at the hotel before driving only 5-10-minutes to Terminal 3 on the day of your journey. Here, you will be greeted by a member of the MBW Meet & Greet team who will securely park your car while you get on with the important business of checking in. When you return from your holiday, your car will be waiting for you so that you can make a quick and easy getaway.
