Types of Heathrow Airport Parking
When it comes to the parking Heathrow has to offer, there is a wide variety of choice. However, the car parks can be broadly split into three main categories. These are as follows:
Park & Ride
Often found further from the terminals than your conventional car parks, these car parks provide the best prices. There are regular shuttles that will bring you to your desired terminal in a timely manner. The way these services work is quite simple as well.
On arrival, you drive to the car park and drop off your car. Then you take the shuttle bus to the airport.
Upon your return, you contact the car park after landing and a shuttle bus will pick you up and bring you back to your car.
Simple and well-priced.
Meet & Greet
These services provide exquisite luxury and convenience. This is the choice for those in a rush or those looking to have a smooth hassle-free experience when it comes to their parking experience. The way it works is as follows.
You arrive at the terminal at the agreed upon time, where a uniformed member of the organization will meet you and take your car to the car park. You can then head directly to your check in.
Ultimate convenience and minimal hassle.
Park & Stroll
Just a short walk to the terminal awaits you when you choose these providers. The easiest to use and with the least hassle possible, however these providers tend to be quite expensive.
Easy but costly.
