Heathrow Parking avoiding ULEZ

Hi, Googling this seems difficult. Anyone used a ULEZ free parking service yet? A couple of places talk about it being ULEZ free, but then it's meet and greet at the airport which won't work obviously.
Going to park for a week at the end of the month, so it could be £37.50 I've read in ULEZ charges.

Have you checked if your vehicle is exempt : https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/check-your-vehicle/1 -
I'm not exempt.. 2010 diesel0

Unless I am misunderstanding it should only be £25 total, £12.50 driving to car park and £12.50 driving home from it. Still a rip offTotally Debt Free & Mortgage Free Semi retired and happy0

Just use a parking firm outside the ULEZ and get on their shuttle bus?
Maple Parking are outside the ULEZ according to a dummy quote I did through the Holiday Extras site, but I dont know your flight dates or even what terminal you are using.
You may fine it cheaper just paying it and parking nearer, though.0 -
I used Maple parking in June to avoid congestion charges - brilliant!! Already booked again for next year. Just make sure you follow their detailed directions otherwise you may stray into a ULEZ zone by mistake.-1

Leave the car at home and take the train?1

Get the bus to the airport. That's what I'm doing. Megabus direct to the terminal.0

I almost never make planned trips into the ULEZ zone, except for Heathrow.
To avoid the "forgot to pay the charge" scenario, I set up TFL Autopay a couple of years ago.
I've since made several trips to Heathrow, but I've never been charged...

Maybe I'm just an old cynic but a first post from anybody, on the day they join the site, to praise any organisation always gets alarm bells ringing for me.
