    In the time you have waited you could have done the following:

    Google "Holiday Extras"
    Visit their website
    Put your dates in
    Compare parking prices.

    End of thread.

    Thanks.


    Only reason i asked if others on the forum have been able to find cheap parking.
  • Obviously the nearer the airport itself the more expensive. Also, book well in advance and look out for offers, but no Heathrow parking is cheap.
  • I used to use Just Park and park on Bath Road, then take a free local bus into the airport.

    These days, especially if you pay well in advance, the official Heathrow parking is cheap.

    I've got parking for an upcoming holiday and the official car park was cheaper than any of the "cheap" alternatives such as Purple Parking etc - even using a discount code on HolidayExtras!

    Sometimes booking an overnight stay in an hotel with parking can be cheaper than just the parking at Heathrow.

    We’ve booked a stay at the Holiday Inn junction 4 M4 with 15 days parking late April for just under £100, we have to get to T3 but that’ll only add £10/15 to the cost.

    I have always found this too.

    We fly with BA to Europe at least once a year. Live in the midlands so stay overnight and park at the hotel. We try and get the earliest flight so its always worth the hotel rather than getting up at 3 am.

    Last time we used a 'driverless pod' - don't bother! was a total waste of money and not as brilliant as they made it seem. Was like a monorail.
