Purple parking heathrow

[hardly]

I’m trying to book the car park next to the premier inn on bath road, seems easier to book the prem inn than use other hotels with the hoppa, as I don’t like the look of using the hoppa (unless someone. Wants to recommend it). The purple parking next to prem inn with transfer would be ideal. When I go on the website or holiday extras all I seem to get is the option for meet and greet at the short stay. Not being familiar with Heathrow and having an early flight I don’t fancy this, nor the giving the keys over at the short stay.
Has anyone used the purple parking at bath road, how easy is the shuttle and how did you book it.
Thanks

We booked it a few years ago, it was purple parking business but when we went last year I couldn’t find the option for it on their site so we used their meet and greet instead (which we preferred, but we don’t mind handing the keys over).

If you can get to book it (I’d call purple parking and ask) it was easy on the way out, we parked up in the evening so didn’t have to pay for premier inn parking on top and then walked across and took the shuttle to the airport in the morning. On the way back though it was a bit of a pain waiting for the shuttle. We called and told them we were there but every shuttle that turned up was for one of their other car parks, we probably waited about 45 mins. Other than that it was convenient.

We’ve done this before. I have booked PI directly through their site and if you sign up you get a discount. I usually start on a comparison site and see what deals are out there including for PP.

It’s quite nice on the day of flying to move your car from the PI car park, it was about £10 a night, to the PP car park. This means you don’t have to rummage through your cases for flight clothes and toiletries. Just leave a bag in your car pre drop off. The shuttle service works well.

Funnily enough I’ve recently booked both via their own sites, although I’ve gone for the more expensive Meet and Greet option so we drop off and pick up at the terminal. Definite bonus to pay the extra and get into your car at the end of the holiday.

We love staying at the PI Bath Road and if you’re into planes you can see them landing from the back of the hotel.

We used it a couple of times a few years ago , but for us it was too much hassle we used to have early morning flights and sometimes the Hoppa was so full you had to wait for the next one and I would get so anxious we were going to be late ( but I am a born worrier)

We now use Premier Inn Terminal four which has a walkway to other terminals , they work with Maple Manor parking and you can do a park and stay deal where they take your car and return it back to you at the premier inn or you can get deals on Heathrow Short stay ( even for long stays) and you keep your keys with that option

I always do it this way and our night in the Prem Inn is effectively the start of our vacation.

We needed to book Aug 17 2021 and secured the Premier Inn for £39. We had a Holiday Extras voucher from our abortive 2020 vacations x 2 and used this on their site to book Purple Parking with no problems, around October of this year.

Leaving the Premier Inn the next morning, we can either...
1. Use the Prem Inn Hoppa (doubtful as it costs too much).
2. Catch the red bus that passes by every couple of minutes outside for free as it is in the free transit zone. It takes you to the LHR transport centre.
3. (Preferred option). We walk next door to Purple parking and use their free Hoppa bus, having agreed to this the night before when dropping our car.
