Ed, in a previous similar thread, someone mentioned something about parking the car in a nearby town for free 
Dunno where he was talking about though.

May be wrong, but you can stay in certain hotels the night before have your car stay there, and be coached in for your flight cheeper than parking it at heathrow?

Hello
I usually park in the Business Car Parks in the company of Porsches, Subarus etc.. with no real problem. Hopefully that will continue.
They are extremely expensive though: About £18 per day.

hmmm, maybe I'll get the train after all...wasn't looking forward to lugging cases home on public transport with jet lag 
Steve, are the business car parks in a different place to the general long-stay carparks?? Is it well-signposted? Do you have to book or anything?

We paid £140 for 10 days of car parking at heathrow last month. Our flight times were such that we would have been getting the train through central London through rush hour and on out into Essex before 9am. That would be my idea of hell.
Loads of flash motors in the car park but I didnt risk the scooby there, those car parks seem very quiet at times !

If you're flying from T1, then I've found Park 1 to be very good. No parking at Heathrow is cheap. The other alternative would be to use the off site chauffeur parking, although the thought of some spotty ****** revving the nuts off my Scoob and then letting the turbo cook its oil is not appealing

I always use purple parking - £7.95 per day for first 15 days - over 15 days it's free.
They probably are not the cheapest but I know they do half look after the cars - a mate parked his BMW 330 conv' with a cheapy outfit and when he came back off holiday it had an extra couple hundred miles on the clock and no fuel in it
