London Heathrow Airport Parking

Purple Parking Meet and Greet Why bother? We paid a little more for the meet and greet service as there is nothing worse than arriving at Heathrow after a long flight and then having to go into the bowels of the airport to wait for a bus to take you to the parking lot which is in Southall somewhere then you have to find your way out and on to the M25 before the long drive back to Derby for us. Saying goodbye to our car: We were leaving from Terminal 1 at Heathrow so the instructions were to phone 30 minutes before you were going to arrive so that there would be someone there to meet you. We ... more

I have been encouraged by the operations manager to share my recent experience with you. Last month, I booked a Meet and Greet service at Heathrow T5 with Park to Flight ( http://www.parktoflight.co.uk/ ), based on price and not finding any adverse comment on any website. For the departure, you have to give 35 minutes’ notice of your arrival at T5, which was no problem as I was visiting relatives locally. When I arrived at T5 on the appointed time, there was no one there. After a number of calls, someone eventually arrived to collect the car 50 minutes late. He said he'd only received his ... more

Purple Parking is situated in an industrial area in old Southall. On arrival the staff at the kiosk greet you by name as they bring up all your details by way of your vehicle registration, (depending if you have pre-booked or not, but even if you have'nt there is always room in this vast car-park that I was told holds 20,000 cars). Once you are checked in you are directed to a staging area to park your car where you leave your keys in the ignition. Then you will find the bus and trailer waiting for you, where the driver assists you with getting your luggage into the trailer. If you happen to ... more

Purple Parking - Meet and Greet Service. We used purple parking for the 2nd time in Apr 2008 and found it the best possible way to start our holidays. Firstly the price of £95 for 10 days parking was cheaper than most of the competitors "park off site and shuttle bus to the terminal" services. We arrived outside terminal 3 at the time arranged when booking, and a uniformed driver came straight over to the car and helped us with our luggage. After a check of the car for any damage we were given a receipt and were on our way to check in. On returning we collected our luggage and then phoned the ... more

I have used this car park several times over about five years. There is no doubt in my mind that my car will be there when I get back and all wheels present. Even having used it before, I printed off the clear intructions from there web site and reminded myself again the route from the M25. The park is a brown-field site: a one time gas works. Pre-booking on the internet is a good idea as it guarantees a place and speeds the booking in. for every one. Leave the car in the designated area, with the ignition key in of course. If like me you have just driven for two hours, you will be pleased ... more
