Heathrow's Terminal 2 (The Queen's Terminal) and Terminal 3 sit adjacent to each other in the central terminal area, making them accessible from the same range of parking operators. This guide covers everything you need to know about parking for both terminals.
Terminal 2 Parking Options
Terminal 2 serves Star Alliance carriers including United, Lufthansa, Swiss, Singapore Airlines and Air Canada. Short-stay and business parking are available on-site, while dozens of off-airport operators provide shuttle services directly to T2's drop-off zone.
Terminal 3 Parking Options
Terminal 3 handles oneworld airlines including American, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas, plus some Virgin Atlantic and Emirates services. Its proximity to T2 means most off-airport operators cover both terminals on the same shuttle route.
Shared Shuttle Services
Because T2 and T3 are physically adjacent, most off-airport operators stop at both terminals on the same shuttle run. This is useful for travelling groups departing from different terminals — the shuttle covers both stops.
Price Guide for T2 & T3 Parking
Off-airport parking for a 7-day T2 or T3 trip typically ranges from £38–£65 with advance booking. On-airport short-stay for the same period runs to £90–£130. Pre-booking via a comparison site always delivers the best available price.
