Short Stay & Long Stay Parking – What You Should Factor In
Short stay parking at London airports can exceed £20–£30 within the first hour. Long stay car parks may reduce daily costs but typically require shuttle transfers.
- Shuttle transfers: 10–20 minutes
- Bus frequency: Every 10–20 minutes (24/7)
- Total door-to-terminal time: 25–35 minutes
- Peak traffic can extend transfer times
For early morning flights or business travellers, these delays can add stress and uncertainty.
