Heathrow Terminals Parking - Park and Ride

Overview

Heathrow Terminals Park & Ride is an established, well reviewed third-party park and ride car park. It is one of a number of secure third-party off-airport park and ride car parks - Allegiance, Elite Parking, Purple Parking and Maple - that offer extremely competitive pricing compared to the official Heathrow park and ride.

If you haven't already done a search, then you will find pricing for Terminals Parking is generally, with Allegiance, the cheapest of the third-party park & ride options. But it comes with some trade-offs.

Below I have listed the key features for Heathrow Terminals Parking and done a comparison with the others:

It is situated in a business park in Slough and car parking is open air. If you are looking for a covered option then you have Purple Parking and Elite Parking.

Like all of them, it has 24/7 CCTV coverage, full lighting and professional on-site staff.

It is flexible.

Like Elite Parking it is outside the ULEZ zone which can be a plus but makes it a little farther. The others are inside.

Travel time - In terms of travel time, all of them cite between 10 - 20 minutes.

Transport to terminal - It has a shuttle bus that is on-demand, so you have it call in advance to make sure it is there waiting for you. Purple Parking and Maple Express have a bus with transfers every 20 minutes and the other 2 transfers on request. Allegiance Park & Ride only takes you to Hatton Cross Tube Station.

Open times - Elite: opening times and shuttle times - 04:30–23:59. Allegiance: is open from 7am to 9.30pm, so that is obviously a big concern if your flight is arriving outside these times. Purple: shuttle 04:00–23:40 (staff 24/7, but shuttle not) Maple: opening times + shuttle 04:00–23:59 Terminals: open 04:45–00:00, shuttle 04:00–23:30, after-hours possible (fee)
