Heathrow Parking Recommendations

[halloweenbaby2]

We are flying with American Airlines next August and I believe they fly from T3 ( not 100% sure ), but as I'm full on in planning mode, do you have any recommendations regarding long stay parking? I've already booked a Premier Inn for the night before the flight.
Thanks for any help

We always use Purple Parking on Bath Road, which is right next door to the Premier Inn! You can leave your car there the night before if you want to and then just walk in to catch the bus to the terminal in the morning too. We've never had any troubles with them and have used them loads of times.

Best bet is to book official long stay direct, if you book early enough you may get a good deal on short stay. Heathrow official parking.

This sounds great, is the bus a specific airport bus or public transport? Xx

If you stay in Prem Inn Bath Rd, then dump your car in purple parking right next door on arrival. You can then use the Purple Parking free shuttle to get to the terminal next morning.
You will be very pushed to even get near the Purple price elsewhere and impossible to beat the convenience on a sensible budget.

Thanks for the advice, the info on purple parking says that buses are every 20 mins and the transfer time is 10 - 12 mins. Does that sound right in your experience? Xx

Very much so. It is a mini bus that tows a box container with your suitcases in it. A rather efficient service both departing and returning.

I definitely second the premier inn bath road and purple parking. I just got back two days ago from a stay there. The shuttle is very frequent and the parking is literally next door. Watching the planes from the hotel will never get old. Here’s some pics I took, the structure the planes is flying over is the purple parking and we are stood in the premier inn car park.

We just booked Premier Inn Bath Road and Purple Parking for April/May 2022 for 18 days.
We got Purple Parking for £92, Official Long Stay was £170 so it was a no-brainer.
