Always managed to get a lift on go on pubic transport before, but due to an early start need to park at or near the station.

I'll be in the shed so not too worried about multistoreys or huge airport car parks, but I am not happy leaving the keys, which was what Purple / Heathrow NCP ask you to do...

How can I park somewhere nearby without having to leave my carkeys? frown

How long for ?

Book as early as you can on baa.com and see what gets offered. I've had T5 short term parking for 8 days for less than anything else not so long ago.

When and how long are important questions!

Usually a standard "Long Stay" means you keep the keys, or the Business car park at T5 is a park it yourself then jump in the pod jobby.

If you are terminal 1 or 3 than the NCP is good, just off the roundabout with the A380 model. You keep your keys and the last time I booked it was under £3 a day.

Cheers - through BAA I got £43 for "Heathrow LongStay" where it says you can keep your keys. Purple were £35 but you have to leave your keys and NCP Heathrow about the same price but said at peak times you might have to leave your keys...

I'm sure insurance policies say something about not handing your keys to anybody...

So looks like it's £43 which ain't cheap but worth the extra if I get to keep my keys in my pocket IMHO.

Which station & how early?

And which terminal
