Heathrow Parking Terminal 5 Customer Reviews
Brilliant, probably closer and quicker than the official terminal 5 parking (the organ branding). Outside the ULEZ zone, staff are really polite.
Oh and the price was a quarter of the official parking price.
What is not to love
Geoff - ★★★★★
A very efficient and reliable service at terminal 5 Heathrow.
Ms McCalmont - ★★★★★
I have used Meet&Greet Purple parking for many years, but never at T2 so was a bit anxious, for no reasons it turned out, as I received the same level of service as in T3 and T5. Thank you Purpleparking!
Ms Mapson - ★★★★★
We chose this company for our parking for T5 at Heathrow. Efficient checking at 4.30am and the bus was already waiting so we jumped on it straight away. The bus did call at some other terminals before T5. It took about 15 mins to get there.
On return 11.00 am, we walked to the stop and the bus arrived within 10 mins. Efficient reclaim of my car and all in good condition. Happy with the service provided.
Mr Smithson - ★★★★★
Easy drop off at 4am, quick transfer to T5. On return, only a short wait to take us back to Purple Parking. Easy pick up of keys. All very straightforward.
Mr Murray - ★★★★★
As usual all was fine, with a very cheerful welcome when we checked in, alway cheerful ...
Mr Roper - ★★★★★
Great location on the bath road near many hotels. 15 minutes to T5 with a bus every few minutes. Overall good value parking which I use and will continue to use regularly.
Mr Moloney - ★★★★★
I used Purple parking for the first time at Heathrow T5 and it was quite easy. While parking, entered the car park and clear directions displayed on where to park. Walked to the desk and gave the keys. The bus was waiting there and took 20 mins to get to T5. On the way back, waited for 10 mins for the bus which brought me to the parking. At reception, my car was ready for collection, got the keys and drove off in 5 mins. A positive experience and will certainly use them again.
Mr Appadurai - ★★★★★
T5 Heathrow on a Saturday morning. Booking was very easy. Parking was easy to find with the use of good landmarks such as Premier Inn. Leaving the car was no fuss. The shuttle bus was ready to leave as soon as we got to the stop. Transfer was smooth and quick.
Ves - ★★★★★
So smooth - so easy - and good value too
