Airport parking close to Heathrow terminal 4

kiawill91 · 3 Oct 2014 at 08:52

Hi does anyone know of a reputable and safe place to leave your car near Heathrow terminal 4 for a competitive price? The cheapest i can find is purple parking for £68 but have had a bad experience with them in the past. The prices of other car parks then start at £80 but was looking for something cheaper.

I used Heathrows' long stay car park last year for 4 weeks no issue. Was around £140 booked online.

I paid £99 for one night in the Shearton Skyline which included 16days parking.

Quite expensive

It's £82.50 to just park my car in long stay at T4, yet I paid less than £20 more and got a night in a hotel with parking, swimming pool and breakfast. Yes, quite expensive.

Please see if you can match it.

We do that using Gatwick at either the Hilton or Sofitel and you get the hotels in the terminal.

I always just get the train, works out loads cheaper and more convenient than driving to Heathrow.

I did use a one-way rental car last year though, that worked out quite nicely as well. Could consider that? I don't think I'd ever want the faff and expense of parking my own car at Heathrow.

National/Alamo car rental have an offer called 'Airport Connect' offering 'reasonable' one-way rates to Heathrow.

Being naive and not used to airport car park prices. I once checked the price for a 10 day stay at an airport car park. Saw it was ~£40 for the period I required after a quick check online.

So turned up about an hour before flying (didn't pre book), to my horror found out it would be ~£250 as we hadn't pre booked.

Had no option at the time but to begrudgingly pay it when we arrived back.

Won't be making that mistake again!

£80 for 13 days really isn't that bad? Got to second the idea of doing a park and fly though (although watch out - some places insist on taking keys off you to move cars around) - I used to do this until I moved to within a 20 minute taxi journey of LHR.

Other option - coach / train?
