If your vehicle doesn't meet ULEZ standards, you'll need to pay the daily ULEZ charge when driving through Heathrow - make sure you check before you travel.
The Car Park has no height restriction. If you're planning on returning early, try and give the car park as much notice as possible so they can have your car ready for you.
Early or late? The car park offers a grace period up to midnight at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £20 per day. This is subject to change.
In case of flight delays on return, the bus transfer will run later than midnight.
