Blue Circle has been operating for more than 10 years. Drop-off and pick-up at Short Stay. Stroll to check-in.

Need to know

Drop your car off at the Short Stay car park. A member of the team will meet you there and park your car while you walk to the terminal.

When you get back walk back to where you were met on arrival and your car will be ready for collection.

You'll have 15 minutes to exit the car park once your vehicle has been returned to you. Any longer than 15 minutes and you'll need to pay extra when you leave the car park.

Accessibility

This service is suitable for customers with limited mobility, as a shuttle bus isn't needed.

Security

The car park is in a gated compound and secured by:

• Security barriers
• CCTV
• 24-hour patrols

All uniformed drivers are CRB checked and fully insured.

The small print

In August 2023, London's Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) expanded to include all terminals at Heathrow Airport. This is part of an initiative to help tackle air pollution.

If your vehicle doesn't meet ULEZ standards, you'll need to pay the daily ULEZ charge when driving through Heathrow – make sure you check before you travel.

Returning to a different terminal? Your car will be dropped off and collected from Terminal 2. If you're returning to a different terminal, call the car park directly the day before your booking starts, to let them know and give your return flight number. If you don't, you will not be able to change terminals.

Early or late? The car park offers a grace period up to midnight at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £15 per day. This is subject to change.

Help us go green! There's no need to print out your booking confirmation, show it on your mobile device.

Make sure you don't enter the terminal forecourt as you'll be charged. Just head straight to the Short Stay car park where you drop off / collect your car.

Most standard cars will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit under the 2.2m entry barrier. If your vehicle is larger than this, call the car park 20 minutes before you arrive and they can meet you at a different place.

Your car will be parked in a secured off-site compound while you're away.

Blue Circle is only available to take and return cars between 4am and 12 midnight.

During bank holidays, there may be some changes in how the parking works. Blue Circle will tell you about this if it affects you.

All airport fees are included.

Getting to and from airport

Arriving at the airport

Give the car park a call when you're around 30 minutes away to let them know you're on your way. Drive to the Short Stay car park to meet your driver - your confirmation will include directions and a postcode for your satnav.

You'll need to give them your booking confirmation and car keys, as well as your return flight information.

From there, it's a short walk to the terminal while the driver parks your car in a secured car park.

Returning to the airport

Once you've collected your luggage call Blue Circle and walk back to the Short Stay car park to collect your car.

You'll have 15 minutes to exit the car park once your vehicle has been returned to you. Any longer than 15 minutes and you'll need to pay extra when you leave the car park.
