Heathrow Offsite Airport Parking

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a good company to park my car at Heathrow airport, I will be gone for 15 days, so looking for long term parking I think. Nervous about just handing my keys over to some stranger. I recently viewed the story from Trevor MacDonald in which some companies park the car on the streets. Not in the secure car park as promised.

Any reviews would be welcome.

Thanks in advance:)

  • Hi I think you would be ok with NCP which is just above the entrance tunnel the Heathrow and serves T1,2 & 3 only. Or Parking Express which is a bit further away and serves all 4 terminals (separate bus for T4). Neither of these moves cars to the best of my knowledge. At least my car has always been in the same spot on my return in both car parks.

    Links and codes are:
    http://www.ncp.co.uk try save£ or LHR86 these codes sometimes give discounts but also try without a code as this is sometimes cheaper.

    Best rates I have found for Parking Express have been via http://www.aph.com/partners/?toysrus

    One to avoid is Q-link. Moved car God knows where had to wait ages for pick up and then my car wasn't back at the pick up point when I got there.

    I have used purple parking on a number of occassions, usually for 4-6 weeks parking. I have found them quite good, about 15mins to transfer to HRW very frequent mini buses, never waited more than 5 mins, and they photo your car from all angles when you are arriving to stop any arguments over damage etc.
  • Have a look at the stick at the top of this board HERE for all things airport parking.

    I've used Purple Parking and found them to be a thoroughly professional outfit. If you are signed up with [url="https://www.quidco.com]Quidco[/url], go through them for 10% cashback on Heathrow parking (5% at other airports) and enter the code 'TIPO' into the box marked 'Source code' on the Purple Parking quote page. I found this halved the price.
