Off-airport or third-party parking can be cheaper than Official Heathrow Parking, though we recommend thoroughly researching any provider before booking.

Heathrow does not licence or endorse any third-party operators and will always recommend booking official products. Official Heathrow Parking benefits include convenient locations, secure facilities and free cancellations and amendments up to two hours before your booked arrival time.

In some extreme cases involving third-party parking, vehicles have been returned in disrepair, late or not returned at all, left in unsecure locations and, in some instances, used for criminal activities.

It is important that anyone considering using a third-party or off-airport parking provider conducts their own research before booking. More about what to look out for can be found on our guidance page below.

You can make big savings against our drive-up or on-the-day prices by booking our parking in advance at any point before your stay. Official Heathrow Parking can be booked up to a year in advance of your stay.
