The official long stay parking facility at Heathrow serving Terminals 1 to 3 is ideal for people who are going on holiday or longer trips. The Long Stay Terminals 1 to 3 is open every day of the year and is well connected to the terminal buildings, meaning that visitors are saved the hassle of trying to locate transportation after parking their vehicle.
A complimentary shuttle bus runs every 10 minutes from this large car park to the first three terminals and takes between seven and 15 minutes from door to door. This bus runs on a regular schedule between 4:45 and 23:45 each day. People who want to make use of the service outside of these operating hours will be able to do so on demand.
Located on the Eastern Perimeter Road close to the British Airways maintenance hangar, the official long stay car park is well signposted to ensure that it is easy to find. Simply follow the signs for the airport from the motorway and then watch for the signs leading the way to the long stay car park.
This car park is large enough to accommodate the vehicles of passengers that turn up on the day of their flight, although advance booking is recommended. Passengers who have booked in advance will be issued with a special booking number. Simply present this number to a member of staff upon arrival and pass through the security barrier.
People who have not booked can gain entrance to the car park by driving up to the barrier and pushing a button to receive a ticket. The hours that you have been away will be calculated when you return and the fee will be charged accordingly.
The official long stay parking facility is manned around the clock by regular patrols in high profile security vehicles. Additional security is provided by a special fence and CCTV, which means that vehicles are sure to remain safe even when their owners are unwinding on the other side of the world. In fact, the car park is so secure that it has been awarded both the Park Mark by the Association of Chief Police Officers and the prestigious Secured Car Parks Award.
