Heathrow Park & Ride Parking
Leave your car at a secure, CCTV-monitored car park near Heathrow and travel on to your terminal by the free local bus and train, or by shuttle – call the car park before your parking date to arrange it. Most Heathrow Park & Ride car parks take your keys; each car park's details say which. New customers can use URFIRST10 for £10 off or WELCOMEUR for 10% off at checkout — one code per booking, on your first completed booking.

How Park & Ride works at Heathrow
You drive to the car park yourself, park in a marked bay and, at most Heathrow Park & Ride car parks, hand your keys to the staff – each car park's More info says which. Staff meet you, help with the luggage, confirm your return details and photograph the car's condition with you. A shuttle then takes you to the terminal, typically in around ten minutes.
Your car stays exactly where you left it, in a CCTV-monitored compound, for the whole trip. Nobody else drives it. For a lot of travellers that alone is the reason to choose Park & Ride over Meet & Greet.
Getting to your terminal from the car park
Heathrow's free internal transport does most of the work. From our Park & Ride drop-off the route is:
- Terminal 4 - free local bus or the car park's shuttle straight there.
- Terminal 2 - free local bus or the car park's shuttle to T4, then the free train to Terminal 2.
- Terminal 3 - free local bus or the car park's shuttle to T4, then the free train to Terminal 3.
- Terminal 5 - free local bus or the car park's shuttle to T4, then the free train to Terminal 5.
For the car park's shuttle, call the car park before your parking date. Build that into your timings, especially for Terminals 2, 3 and 5 where there is a change involved.
How much time to allow
Call the car park about 30 minutes before you arrive so a member of staff is ready for you. Then allow around ten minutes for the shuttle, plus the train leg if your terminal needs one, on top of your normal check-in time.
If you are running late or early, call - it is far better than turning up unannounced.
Coming home
Call once you have collected your baggage and are ready to leave the terminal. Board the return shuttle from the terminal stop, show your ticket at the barrier, and collect your car.
What to have ready
Your booking reference, your keys, and any unusual starting instructions. Take valuables with you. Do not leave the car unattended before staff have met you.
Park & Ride or Meet & Greet?
Park & Ride is normally the cheaper option at Heathrow. Meet & Greet costs more and removes the shuttle from both ends. If you are not in a hurry and would rather nobody else drove your car, Park & Ride is the one.

Call the car park about 30 minutes before you get there, then allow ten minutes for the shuttle plus the train leg if your terminal needs one, on top of normal check-in.

Around ten minutes from the car park to Terminal 4. For Terminals 2, 3 and 5 you then change to Heathrow's free train, so allow extra time.
