Cheap Airport Parking: Heathrow Airport hints, tips and local parking

Boonbetty

We've used Purple Parking on numerous occasions, the last time in January this year, and never had any problems. It is a bit of a distance from the airport but there is a frequent free shuttle bus.

This time last year I managed to get Purple Parking for 3 weeks for less than 50 quid in April booking direct using TIPO via https://www.purplebusinessparking.com.

(The day before the ash cloud arrived - phew)

This year I cannot get seem to get them down to 75 quid.

Anyone got any suggestions for 3 weeks at Heathrow in May or have the prices gone up and I will have to like it or lump it?

[I just want the basic park and ride in a minibus service and they don't even seem to be offering that through the cash back sites??.]

Nice one!
Good Old Purple Parking came up trumps with code ITT.
I fiddled around with my cookies but could not get it to work, so used DW's laptop and that did the trick and more or less halved the price.
Just got back - not problems.

Hi, I'm flying from terminal 4 in on 22/06/11. Looking to stay the night before and park until 28/06/11. I found a deal with Park Inn through Holiday Extras but the car park is Long Stay T1 and T3 Only - I called them to ask if the transfer was easy enough to T4 but they weren't sure. Would anyone recommend doing this for T4? Thanks

You have to read the link/instructions in the postings above carefully to find out how to use the PP discount code.

If your computer has been used to book PP before, it will have a cookie on it so that PP no longer offers you this discount.

Guess you've gone already, but from what I've ready you take the txfer to T3, take the Heathrow Train to T4. Probably takes 30 mins not 15 as a result.

There are people that offer parking spaces at their home, especially at the larger airports. The trouble is, they are often quite a long way from the airport, which costs more for taxis, which then negates any savings you would have made - so I don't use them anymore.

I have found a great service at iwantparking.com which compares all the main providers around your chosen airport. You get all the details about the parking companies and all the prices side by side. It's a great way to save money on airport parking
