Title: Heathrow
Post by: stealthwolf on March 13, 2014, 06:18:41 pm: Has anyone tried the long term car park at Heathrow recently? Thinking about parking there when I head off next week.
What about companies like Purple Parking?

Long stay iirc is further out but it's only a 5 min shuttle to the terminals.

Post by: A13 on March 13, 2014, 10:46:41 pm: used the official BAA one last year when i went to NYC.
Very easy, secure and onsite. Buses every few minutes to terminal.
Drive up, park and go.

Post by: simonp on March 14, 2014, 08:20:46 am: Agree with the official BAA parking suggestions. Only a little bit more, but more secure and you keep the keys, unlike a lot of the others. You can park right next to the terminal for a bit more money. When I went to the States for 10 days last year it was about £35-40 more than the standard peri track parking.
