Driving to Heathrow Airport

Main access roads

Road approaches differ by terminal and parking product. Follow the address and directions in your booking confirmation rather than assuming a terminal forecourt is your parking location.

Plan your route

Check live traffic, airport signs and the exact address for the parking or drop-off facility you plan to use. Do not rely on a fixed road journey time.

Heathrow Airport drop-off and pick-up charges

Airport-operated facilities

Heathrow lists a £7 charge each time a vehicle enters a terminal drop-off area.

  • Pick-ups and waiting are not permitted in the terminal drop-off areas; use the airport's designated collection options.

These charges are set by the airport operator and can change. They are separate from OnPark parking charges unless your specific booking explicitly includes an airport access charge. Check Heathrow Airport's current tariff before travel.
