How park and ride works on the day
Drive to the car park's address on your booking, not to the airport.
Park, or hand over your keys if they park it for you, then take the shuttle bus or train to the terminal.
Leave time for the transfer: the wait for the bus as well as the ride.
Coming back, take the shuttle from the stop your booking names and drive home from the car park.
What Easy Airport Parking says
Simple drop-off, smooth transfer
Ideal for longer trips
Practical off-airport option
Popular with regular travellers
Good value for money
In the listing's own words, from Arc Parking. I haven't checked these claims; ask the car park about anything that matters to you.
Before you book
Check how often the shuttle runs at the times you travel, late at night especially.
Check whether you keep your keys or leave them.
Check the car park's opening hours against your flights.
Driving to Heathrow
Being dropped off
£7 each time
Charged each time you enter the drop-off zone, read by cameras. Pay online, by phone or by AutoPay by midnight the next day.
If you don't pay: £80, cut to £40 if paid within 14 days.
Free instead: Park & Ride car parks, with a free bus to the terminal: 29 minutes free at Terminals 2, 3 and 5, two hours in Terminal 4 Zone A.
London Heathrow Airport sells its own car parks on its website, which I don't list here.
Heathrow runs its own Meet & Greet at Terminals 2, 3 and 5, in the British Parking Association's approved meet and greet scheme.
Heathrow says it doesn't licence or endorse any meet and greet firm but its own. Its advice
Worth knowing
The airport is inside London's Ultra Low Emission Zone: a car that doesn't meet its standards pays TfL's daily charge to drive there. TfL's checker. Some park and ride car parks are outside it and say so.
Terminal 4's multi-storey car park closed on 23 June 2026, and with it Heathrow's own meet and greet there. Terminal 4 parking moved to Park & Ride Zone A.
Heathrow renamed its car parks in 2026: Short Stay is now Terminal Parking, Long Stay is Park & Ride and Business is Priority Park & Ride.
