HEATHROW TERMINAL 3 Parking

Options
Hi,

I've been searching online for a reasonably priced long stay car park near Heathrow Terminal 3. So far, I've found a couple that are below £90. I was wondering if anyone here (who has used a similar service before) could recommend one of the companies. Or if you know a good comparison site, that'd be a great help, too.
It's my first time using such a service, hence I'm a bit reluctant to jump in and book online websites offering 'park and ride (minibus)' service for under £85!

Any advice or pointers would be most helpful!

Cheers,
M

    I use baa.com and get BAA Worldpoints. The price depends upon the number of days you are going to use the car park. BAA site will show you how much you save by advance booking, they dont charge extra for credit card payment.

    I recently used purple parking site to get cashback through Quidco. Booked Q-park at Heathrow for a day, paid £14.50 + 1.50 or probably 1.95 extra for credit card. I was surprised when I saw the Q-park rates at the entry barrier and their over the counter rate was just over £10. These sites usually make money on your booking, but BAA is a good saving I think.

    For Terminal 3, my preferred long stay parking is Business Car Park, but for most of one one day meeting trips, I use short stay. Hope this helps.
  • Hi there

    I recently used Purple Parking and were very pleased. It was a 10 minute mini bus ride to the terminal and booking in the car was very quick and smooth. I paid £44 for 18 days parking using the code "ITT"- the code saved me £44!
  • Thank you!

    I decided to go for Purple..great moneysaving at 43 pounds for 19 days, i must say!

  • Those who used a promotional code at purpleparking at Heathrow, how did you manage to do it? I've been trying as a member and non-member at both their car parks, through quidco and not through quidco, different computers, but no box for putting a code comes up at any point. Is there a special page known only to some which allows you to put the code in? Please reply, I'm desperate, otherwise my cheapest parking works out as nearly £90 for 16 days :(

    On the purple parking website there is a box below the information required boxes (ie, airport, dates etc) that says source code. Thats where you input the code! Hope that helps!

    THANK YOU so much, you are the best :) !! I feel a bit stupid, but I would have never realised that 'source code' is the same as promotion code, I thought it was some technical detail box, and it was already filled with some abbreviation. I'll try now, I'm sure it'll work.
