Air Parker
As is clear from the table above, the Air Parker Park and Ride service available at Terminals 2, 3 and 5 offers the cheapest prices for both one and two weeks parking. This independent family business is well rated at 9.2 by our customers for the friendliness of the staff, the efficiency of the service and the nearby location of the car park to the terminal. Buses run every 20 minutes and take just 15 minutes to reach the terminal with the service operating between 05:00 and 00:00.
Looking4 Orange
For slightly more, you can opt for the Looking4 Orange service for Terminal 3. It is another Park and Ride service with buses running every 20 minutes and taking 15 minutes to reach the terminal. In fact, this service is almost identical to the Air Parker offering with a fantastic rating of 9.2 out of 10 from customers, professional staff to ensure your journey goes without a hitch and excellent security measures in place to keep your vehicle safe.
MBW Parking
If you are looking for great value and convenience in your parking service, then MBW Parking is a good choice. This Meet and Greet service allows you to drop-off your car in the Heathrow Terminal 3 Short Stay car park and pick it up from the same spot on your return. It means a less than 5 minutes’ walk to the terminal entrance with your luggage and you get to avoid the hassle of parking your car yourself. MBW has professional and fully insured valets to ensure good care of your vehicle and their off-site car park has Park Mark security accreditation.
Blue Circle
With Blue Circle Park and Ride parking available at Terminals 2 and 3 you can enjoy a straightforward beginning and end to your journey. All you need to do is drop-off your vehicle at the off-site car park 4 miles from Terminal 3 and hop on the regular shuttle bus. Buses run on-demand to limit waiting around and take around 15 minutes. You will be dropped off and picked up outside the terminal entrance. While you are away your car will be protected by Park Mark accredited security, which include CCTV and regular patrols of the compound.
Long Stay T3
The official Long Stay car park at Terminal 3 offers a self-park service with buses running every 10 minutes and taking around 10 to 15 minutes to reach the terminal entrance. Despite being onsite, the transfer is no shorter than the much cheaper Park and Ride services, such as Air Parker. The Long Term car park is a self-park service with a number plate recognition service active at the entrance and exit. This means you get to park your car yourself and keep your keys with you. There is also excellent security in place as it is on the airport terrain.
Meet and Greet T3
For the ultimate convenience in parking at Terminal 3, opt for the official Meet and Greet service. You will get to drop-off and pick-up your car just a short walk away from the terminal entrance in the dedicated Meet and Greet area. It is a self-park service where you drop-off your car and hand in your keys at the Meet and Greet desk. While you are away your car is taken to the secure onsite car park and brought back for your return. It could not be much simpler!
Short Stay T3
The Short Stay car park at Terminal 3 is one of the most expensive parking options available with prices starting at £4.90 an hour. That said it is a hassle-free service offering you a simple beginning and end to your trip at the airport. You will need to park your car yourself, but you can choose a space and get to keep your car keys with you. The car park is a multistorey so your car will be better protected and you will stay dry as you make your way on foot to the terminal entrance just a couple of minutes away.
Which parking type to choose?
As you can see each parking type offers its own unique benefits, which can help ensure your trip beings smoothly. Whether Park and Ride, Meet and Greet or onsite walking distance services are best for you will depend on your priorities.
Make sure to think through whether you are going to be making your decision based on price or convenience. If price, then an off-site Park and Ride service is the best choice, but if convenience, then a Meet and Greet service, such as MBW Parking, could be ideal.
