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 have to wait a few minutes for the next of the very regular service you may be around long enough to see the efficient compound crew safely and carefully move your car to the actual secure area of the car-park.
Then once the bus has waited for a few minutes to see if there are any more passengers you set off for your desired terminal at heathrow, (the bus does not wait long, and I have been the only passenger on the bus several times).
I would advise allowing 30 minutes in total from parking to terminal just in case the traffic is heavy as you are 5 miles away from the airport.
On your return journey and upon arrival at Heathrow you call the toll free number that you would have been provided and wait at the designated bus stop where the bus usually arrives within 15 minutes, if it isnt already waiting for you.
On arrival back to the car park you are dropped off at your car and away home you go.
Purple Parking do also provide a collection service where you drive your car to the airport yourself and one of their drivers collects it from you there and takes it back to the car park for you. Then on returning you call a different toll free number when you have lft customs and the driver and your car are waiting for you at the appointed meeting place. For an extra £30 or so on top of the very reasonable parking fee of about £4 a day it makes it even more convienient and hassle free. Another added bonus is that after you have paid for 14 days parking up to an additional 36 days in the same trip is free. very good value for money.

Getting to and from Heathrow is one big nightmare. I get the tube which takes over an hour but from my parents house in Sussex we take it in turns to drive each other there when needed leaving at least 3 hours before we need to check in thanks to the M25! Triciax
