How to Save Money on Heathrow Airport Parking
3 min read
Practical tips to cut the cost of Heathrow airport parking - from booking early to choosing the right car park type.
Book in advance
Heathrow parking prices increase the closer you get to your travel date - sometimes by 50% or more. Booking 2-4 weeks ahead typically locks in the lowest rates available.
Compare Meet & Greet vs Park & Ride
If budget is your priority, Park & Ride is almost always cheaper than Meet & Greet. See our guide on Meet & Greet vs Park & Ride to decide which fits your trip and budget.
Avoid official airport car parks for long stays
Heathrow's own on-airport car parks are convenient but usually the most expensive option for stays longer than a couple of days. Independent, insured off-airport providers - like the ones compared on this site - typically offer the same level of security at a lower price.
Check for Cancellation Cover instead of overpaying for flexibility
Fully flexible 'pay on arrival' rates are usually the most expensive. Booking ahead with Cancellation Cover gives you a similar safety net - if your flight changes, you can amend or cancel - while still benefiting from advance-booking prices.
Travel midweek if you can
Demand (and prices) for parking tend to be highest on Fridays, weekends and during school holidays. If your travel dates are flexible, midweek drop-offs and pick-ups can sometimes be cheaper.
