About Park & Ride
Park & Ride is the new name for Heathrow's Long Stay car parks. It is the cheapest official parking at Heathrow, with a car park for each terminal and free buses to the doors.
Heathrow renamed its Long Stay car parks as Park & Ride. There are three sites: one for Terminals 2 and 3 on Eastern Perimeter Road, one for Terminal 4 on Scylla Road, and one for Terminal 5 on Northern Perimeter Road. You park, keep your keys and take a free bus.
Buses leave every 15 minutes between 04:00 and 23:30. Heathrow quotes 10 to 20 minutes to Terminals 2 and 3, 10 to 15 minutes to Terminal 4 and 7 to 10 minutes to Terminal 5. Outside bus hours you call 020 8745 6261 for a transfer. At Terminal 5, buses pick up and drop off on Level 0 of the forecourt.
Heathrow describes automated barrier access and round-the-clock security patrols. The exit barriers take vehicles up to 2.4m, taller than Terminal Parking. Since Terminal 4's multi-storey closed in June 2026, this is the only official product at Terminal 4.

Allow for the drive, parking and a wait of up to 15 minutes for the bus, plus the ride itself.

Security at Official Park & Ride
Heathrow describes round-the-clock security patrols, automated barrier access and bright lighting across its official car parks. We have not found a Park Mark statement for Heathrow's own car parks, so we do not claim one. Take valuables with you and leave nothing on show.
