We usually book our parking through the Heathrow parking website. Sorry no discount codes. We also stay at The Premier Inn at T4, good prices, nice hotel and connected to T4 by a covered walkway. From there you can get the free train to the other terminals.

We love the NCP flightpath when we fly from terminal 3.. Main reason is you get to keep your keys, the bus is free and it's the closest off airport car park!

We pretty much always use LHR these days. We do multi centre and this pretty much always puts us at Heathrow.

We always do it the same, park at Purple parking on Bath Rd and then a night in the Premier Inn next door, huge, with full height Atrium, Bar and Restaurant. It is heavily used by Aircrew/stewards and it is a fascinating people watch that really sets you up for your flight next day. I love having a typical Prem Inn meal deal in the evening with a wine in the bar afterwards.

Next day comes, Premier Inn buffet breakfast and having pre discussed, you simply then go next door and catch the courtesy Purple Shuttle to the transport centre. Alternatively, the passing red buses are in the free transport zone and will take you to the same place.

It actually forms an additional day of our vacation, having become a bit of a family tradition. The vacation begins, the minute I hand over the car keys after my 5 hour drive from Falmouth.

Discount codes? You get special offers on the Prem Inn if you sign up. I frequently get £29 for a family room, but have never paid more than £45 or so.

Purple? It’s pretty much always at a rock bottom rate. I get a little extra through my employers portal.. around 12%

I’ve booked the spring hill suites next to holiday inn on bath road. Don’t do it through holiday extras, do it on their website. IHG.
I got a room and 18 nights parking under £150. They do a 15 night deal but they said they would do the extra nights at £7 a night.

If you're flying from Terminal 5, I can recommend The Thistle Hotel. They have a very large car park and a direct link to T5 by the Heathrow pod. Decent rooms, bar and restaurant. Also no need to leave your car keys with anyone.

I will second this, hotel is basic but clean and you can enjoy a drink while watching the planes come in.
