Often referred to as "off-site" parking, Park and Ride is the most common way to park your car at Heathrow due to it being the most economical option. Heathrow Airport boasts lots of secure car parking so finding a parking option should is easy.
Park and Ride is an excellent option for holidaymakers and business travellers who are jetting away from Heathrow Airport. Several professional Heathrow parking companies offer this quick and convenient service and most of the largest parking compounds can be found less than a mile from Heathrow Airport.
The great thing about the Park and Ride service is that customers do not need to book in advance (although savings will be made if you do). All you have to do is turn up at the Park and Ride compound of your choice on the day of your flight and select a parking bay.
Generally, after parking, customers visit the reception office to sign in and then head on over to the bus stop to catch the shuttle bus to their terminal. The buses usually run every ten minutes from early in the morning, i.e. 05:00 until 23:30, which means that customers will never have to wait to long for transportation. The shuttle buses are spacious and comfortable and come complete with large areas for passengers to store all of their luggage securely.
Park and Ride drivers are fully insured and qualified, and are also able to help passengers with their luggage if required. The journey takes passengers from the car park compound each of Heathrow Airport’s terminal buildings. People who need to catch a bus outside of the regular hours of operation will also be able to make use of the service by making advance arrangements.
The great thing about Park and Ride is that once you have located the compound and parked you will no longer have to worry about your vehicle. Every inch of the car parks are covered by CCTV, while regular foot patrols and other security measures ensure that your vehicle is just as safe as it would be if it were tucked away in your garage at home.
Catching the shuttle bus back to the compound is also simple. When you sign in at the reception office a series of checks will be conducted on your vehicle to make sure that everything is in order. You will then be given details on exactly where to catch the shuttle bus back from when you touch back down at Heathrow Airport.
