Airport parking - Heathrow Terminal 3

Does anyone have any discount codes for parking at Terminal 3 from 17/2/10 to 11/3/10.

TIA

  • Go to Purple Parking (https://www.purpleparking.com) and use code ITT to reduce price from £90 to £45.

    But bear in mind that that particular car park is miles from T3. It's not a problem (I've used it several times) unless you are in a hurry
  • Just booked - thanks very much - saved me about £30.00 on the cheapest i could find.
  • The half price codes don't seem to be working for me this time :-( I'm looking for September. Maybe it's too far in advance :(
    From Starrystarrynight to Starrystarrynight1 and now I'm back...don't have a clue how!

    Has anyone used the Purple Parking from T5? I used the code quoted ^^^ and have got a rate of £70.51 from 7am on a Tuesday to around the same time on the following Saturday.

    We've never booked this before, we usually stay overnight in an hotel and include parking but as we're flying from Terminal 5, the only hotel close by appears to be The Sofitel at a cost of at least one arm & leg!!

    Thanks

    Its even further from T5 than it is from T3. You need to allow at least 30 minutes for the transfer and remember the specific problem at T5 is that you must be through security at least 35 minutes before departure or you won't be allowed through at all. This is one of the many reasons why I try to avoid BA at Heathrow now as I am truly a last minute arriver but so long as you know, you should be OK. Purple Parking would never suit me, but seeing the size of the car park, you can see it from the main line out of Paddington, it obviously works for a lot of people

    Thanks, should have said our qoute of £70.51 is the the meet & greet service, so no worries about transfer time.
    I grew up around Heathrow so know the area reasonably well, so understand about the transfer times, hence why I'm pricing with the meet & greet. I do have concerns though as to what happens should the chauffer meet with an accident in our car........
    Can anyone advise on this situation?
    Many thanks

  • this shouldn't ever happen and if it does the airport parking company should provide full compensation - meet and greet services are pretty good in general providing you go with a well respected/ well known company
