Our Short Stay car parks are just a 2-minute walk from the terminal doors, with Disabled and Parent & Child parking in the most convenient spots.
Frequent security patrols and up-to-date technologies keep our passengers and their vehicles safer.
We recommend using the ‘Get a parking quote’ widget at the top of the page to pre-book and save money.

Our flexible cancellation policy allows you to cancel up to two hours before you arrive for free.

If you turn up and park on the day without pre-booking, you can stay as long as you like and will continue to pay the drive-up daily tariff.
All of our Short Stay car parks are located adjacent to their terminal, connected by covered walkways leading straight into the arrivals or departures areas, whilst road connections from all major routes including the M4 and M25 are also straightforward.
Both M25 and M4 users should take the Junction 4 exit when heading to the Terminal 2 Short Stay car park. To reach this from the M25, simply exit at Junction 15, where you will join the M4. After following Tunnel Road East and passing through the tunnel, you will reach the Inner Ring Road. Stay right and join Constellation Way, again keeping right and following the ramp up following signs for the Short Stay car park, the entrance is around to the left after the road splits.
M25 users should exit at Junction 15 and join the M4. On the M4, take the next exit (Junction 4), and join the Heathrow spur road. Once you reach the roundabout, proceed through the tunnel, which eventually leads to the Inner Ring Road. At the traffic lights, keep left and merge on to Cosmopolitan Way. Follow the road around, then keeping right and following signage for the Short Stay car park, with the entrance on your right.
If you’re using the M4, take the exit at Junction 4, where you should join Tunnel Road East towards the airport. From the M25, leave at Junction 15, and follow the same steps as above. Proceed through the tunnel, where at the end you should keep left and take the left turn on to Chard Road before the traffic lights. Follow the road around until you join Cromer Road, where the car park entrance will be on your left.
When using the M25, exit at Junction 14 following signs for Terminal 4. After taking the A3113 exit at the roundabout, take the second exit at the next roundabout, where you will join the Southern Perimeter Road. From the M4, exit at junction 4B, and then follow the above instructions. Leave the Southern Perimeter Road at the Terminal 4 roundabout, and head towards Terminal 4 on Stratford Road. Follow the up ramp around, once at the top stay in the right-hand lanes, and the car park entrance will be straight ahead.
If you’re travelling from the M25, leave the motorway at Junction 14, and take the Terminal 5 spur road to the roundabout. For M4 users, leave the M4 at Junction 4B, taking you on to the M25, where you can also exit at Junction 14. Exit the Terminal 5 roundabout on to Wayfarer Road, following the road around. Join the right-hand lane, which becomes Wilbur Road at the top of the ramp, where the road splits into three lanes with multiple entrances to the car park ahead.

Picking up from one of Heathrow's near-Terminal Short Stay car parks is one of the easiest ways of meeting passengers. Simply drive into the car park, take a ticket and then pay at one of our on-foot machines upon exit.
Heathrow doesn’t currently provide EV charging facilities in the Short Stay car parks. With this in mind, we recommend that all customers driving electric vehicles to the airport charge them adequately before arrival.
Local charging stations with fast and rapid-charging facilities can be found here.
