Mobile Heathrow long stay or purple parking?

I like the idea of Heathrow long stay as I can keep my car keys but purple parking is £40 cheaper.
Anyone had any experience?

Sat at Heathrow right now. If using Terminal 5 highly recommend Parking Pod. It was fab, car park 1/2 full it was a great.

Purple Parking meet and greet, easy and saves having to wait for car park bus when returning

Used purple parking last Easter for a few days - thought I had to leave my keys though? All fine though and buses were regular. Would use again

We've used Purple Parking before - would happily use them again if we were flying from Heathrow.

We always use purple parking, no problems at all. Slightly less easy access for T5 flights now they don't shuttle there anymore.

But combined with an overnighter at bath road pi next door for us it has become a staple part of our holiday planning now. Used to use long stay (esp at T4) but DH used to giving up his keys now.

We have the Premier Inn booked next door too, my kids love a premier inn 😂
I’ve gone for purple parking, DH is fine with handing over keys it’s me that’s nervous about.
