| Anyone know how to pick up from Heathrow without paying £35? 16:55 - Oct 28 with 2606 views | LegendofthePhoenix |
Gotta pick up someone this evening, and short stay at Term 3 is £35 for 1 hour!!! Anyone got any tips? Can you just drive around for 30-40 minutes and then go to the pick up area when they text you? |  |

Can they get tube to Hatton cross or Hounslow west and pick up from there?
Just a couple of quid fare I would think |  | | |

Terminal 3. Just seen that if you don't pre-book, 1 hour is £11.50. But £35 if you pre book. Crazy. | |

Was going to suggest that. Takes about 5 mins from Heathrow plus easier for you when waiting. |  |

There’s a car park at T3 which is accessed by taking an immediate left out of the tunnel and following the road round onto Cromer Road, where ther is a car park at the end before you join the one way system. It’s seldom full, an easy walk from T3 and cost me about £5 earlier this month, as I waited a couple of miles away and made sure they had their bags before I went to the car park. | | | |

What's the difference between simply booking, and pre-booking ? |  | | |

Can't you just hang around up somewhere nearby, even if it's 5 minutes away? Then swing by when you know they're ready for you. Can't remember the last time I drove to Heathrow but it's what I did at Stansted. Just waited in Takeley then drove down when he was ready. |  |

You could always arrange to pick them up at a nearby hotel and ask them To use hotelhoppa
Shouldn’t you have researched this before you agreed to pick up? |  |

Can they hop on the Long stay Car park bus ? | | | |

I was alerted to your post way too late to help
Did you use the website?

Scroll to the bottom without following links, in pre-booked parking at Heathrow IS expensive, but nowhere near as costly as you think.
If you picked up from drop off zone please note there is still a charge for this, ANPR controlled, like the Dartford Crossing, ULEZ and C Charge. |  |

Picking up from drop off zone still costs. There's now a minimum drop discharge at Heathrow | |

Yes - I knew about that. I bit the bullet and parked in the short stay. Had to wait for 1 1/2 hours, which was £15. Cheers all for tips. LotP. | |

It seems you've already done the pick up but not many people are aware of the free travel zone around Heathrow on public transport... It is for everyone's use but is mostly used by staff or people going to/from the airport hotels.
The tube is free around the Heathrow area up until Hatton cross which you could park nearby for a quick pick up. I tend to use the London buses for free which go under the Heathrow tunnel and along bath road (A4). I normally pick up and drop off at McDonalds which has a few hours wait time... Looking at 10 minutes maximum journey time
The link below has a map with the bus routes you can travel for free

Heathrow travel zone was removed in 2021 I believe, has it been restored? | | | |

It’s been ages since I dropped/picked up from HRW. That’s ridiculous. |  |
