Airport parking is discussed frequently on here - a search would give you the info you require.

However, because I'm a kindly soul, go to Purple Parking and enter TIPO into the 'Source Code' box which should give you up to 50% off the headline price. If you are registered with Quidco, go via them and get 10% cashback too.

hi and thanks for the tip . is it as simple as that ? ive compared both prices and as you said discounted by half ,do i need to show or give any type of information on arrival to recieve it at that advertised price ? one more question sorry do i have to make my own way from the airport and vice versa if i tick the park and ride and not the meet and greet option thanks ?

Yes, it is as simple as that! Just have the printout of your confirmation with you when you turn up, although when I've used them, their CCTV has picked up my reg no. and they already have my details by the time I get to the gate!

If you choose the Park and Ride option, you drive to the car park, the shuttle bus takes you to your terminal. Upon your return, you get the shuttle bus back to the car park.

I've used them twice (and have another booking for November) and have found them to be excellent.

Just booked two months at Heathrow with Purpleparking, used Quidco and TIPO code. Cost £133 including car wash. Thanks to all who contributed to this Forum.
