Need to know

Call the car park around 20 minutes before you arrive. Head to the Short Stay car park at Terminal 3 – your driver will meet you at the Purple Parking desk, take your keys, and park your car for you. From there you can walk to the terminal in minutes.

When you land, call once you've picked up your bags. Walk back to where you dropped your car – it'll be ready and waiting.

Flying back to a different terminal? No problem. Add a return upgrade for the terminal you're flying into and a friendly driver will meet you there with your car. You can add this when you book.

The postcode for satnavs and a link for what3words will be in your booking confirmation to make your journey easier.

Accessibility

No shuttle means this service works well for anyone with limited mobility – just drop your car and go.

Security

Your car's in safe hands. We only work with trusted car parks that take care of your car like it's their own. While your car's with them, it's fully protected – so you can head off without a second thought.

The car park is secured by fencing, CCTV and staff on-site 24/7.

The small print

Heathrow is within the ULEZ – check if your car meets emissions standards, or you'll need to pay the daily charge.

Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles) will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit under a 2.05m height restriction and in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m). They can't accept vehicles with 8 or more seats.

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 £20 per day. This is subject to change.

Make sure you leave enough time for your chauffeur to check your car for damage. It will only take a few minutes, but if you don't leave enough time, this may affect any claim you later make.

All airport fees are included.

Don't forget to print your booking confirmation and take it with you as the car park will need to see this when you arrive.

Getting to and from airport

Arriving at the car park

Drive to the Short Stay car park at Terminal 3. Call Purple Parking when you're around 20 minutes away – the number will be in your confirmation. The postcode for satnavs and a link for what3words will also be in your booking confirmation to make your journey easier.

Your driver will take a photo and check your car over for damage. Go to the Purple desk and give them your booking confirmation and car keys, as well as your return flight information.

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

Returning to the car park

Once you've collected your luggage, call the car park to let them know you're ready. Walk back to the Short Stay car park to collect your car.

At their discretion, Purple Parking will give you up until midnight on the date you have booked to collect your car. If you go into the next day, you'll be charged £20 per day.

Returning to a different terminal?

No problem. Add a return upgrade for the terminal you're flying into and a friendly driver will meet you there with your car. You can add this when you book.
