Have to say, picked up from Terminal 3 today 1st time, watched this video a couple of times and today was soo much easier as a result, everything exactly as expected thanks to this video. I can only say how useful this kind of real information is so again many thanks, why these types of videos aren't automatically applied to official websites is beyond me more use than anything else I read,
Picking my wife and her friends next Sunday, was very nervous about driving around the airport, this video is a god send, thank you so much you will never know how much this will help, thank you
Thanks for this brilliant video. I had to pick up my son and daughter-in-law yesterday (Sunday), which helped me to be in the right lane to enter this car park. As I approached Heathrow (half a mile out) I hit very slow-moving traffic but I stayed in the correct lane. As I reached the traffic lights it became obvious that a lot of cars needed to change lanes but I held my nerve and all was good. I reached the car park and level 3 completely stress-free. Thanks again.
You sir are a hero. Just in terminal 3 arrivals having followed your instructions to get to the short stay car park. I had a few hours drive to get here to pick up my wife. Having watched your video a few times it was like I’d been here many times before! Totally took the stress out of the pick up after the drive. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for this. I'm picking a friend up in two weeks and have been worried as I don't know Heathrow at all. Now I know where to go and what the arrivals hall looks like. You're a star.
Thank you so much for this video, I was really worried about picking up and would have got in a panic about which barrier and level I needed use if I hadn't watched it. It was very clear and made the whole thing stress free.
My dad found your video really useful. Asked me to pass on a message as thanks. "Thanks for the excellent video which I followed and would do it again"
Great video mate. Every detail covered. I'm a Private hire driver in Sheffield and heading down to Heathrow T3 to pick up this morning. Been a few times to Heathrow but this video helps a lot as I don't come down very often and it's easy to forget with all the different terminals. Thanks.
Thanks for your comments Ashley. Also have Video's for London Gatwick (LGW) as well just in case you need it. Intentoins are to get around and do more Airport in future. Be great if you Subscribe to these channels which will keep you in touch...thank again.
I am coming down again tomorrow but picking up from T4, first time at this terminal. You don't seem to have a video for this. Which is the best level in the short stay to park at? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the video and excellent commentary. I am taking my neighbours to and from T3 at some point later this year. Made my life a lot easier as I usually go by coach and not to the airport by car. Thanks again you are a hero.
Thank you for this video! Going for the first time to receive my parents and this video made my life easy as now I know exactly were to go and how to enter T3 arrivals through parking!!
Thanks so much for this information....I’ve not picked anyone up for a long time, and I’m so happy to be going to surprise my sister from Australia who’s staying with me for three weeks. As she is expecting a taxi or my friend’s son to be there! 😄 I need to make sure I know everything.....So I can be standing with her helium balloon 🎈 welcoming here home! 🥳
Absolute godsend! Such a useful video, will be heading to pick up my mate from here at the weekend! Not too sure why I was so nervous, seems not too bad! (touch wood )😅Thankyou!
The best directional videos IMO, used yours for Gatwick too. Worth noting at 1:47 you take the left lane to the drop off point. I couldnt find a clear video showing that, but if you pause your video about there, you can see the gantry sign T3 Dropoff.
Thank you so much for this! I’m picking up my family arriving from Australia soon. I’ll watch it a few times between now and then, just for confidence!
Pretty well sign posted.... until you get near the ST carpark park and the signs for "passenger pick-up" just vanish entirely, as I found out yesterday. I had to do 2 loops until I figured it must be in the ST carpark 🙄
Great video. Presented in a calm manner. I am one of those people who like to know what's there before I get there. Usually use street view but not available at Heathrow. Just a quick question, thought I read somewhere that there is now anpr and you pay contacless at the exit barrier, do you know if this is correct? Cheers
Not correct. Always take a tickets when you enter. You do have the opportunity to pay at the exit barrier, but I have found this unreliable which could end up causing a massive que forever people exiting. Always worth using a payment machine before you get back into your vehicle.
@@heathrowairport165 video really useful. I'm due to pick up next Monday but am after the quickest timewise exit so don't really want to go in long term park. How much approx for, say, an hour's parking in terminal 3's short stay? Thanks
This is so useful, thank you. Can I ask, would this be the right place to park when we drop out passengers off if we want to go with them to departure?
Thanks , this is helpful video I’m planning to pick up my family in September from T3 do I have to book a short stay carpark in advance or I can pay it at the arrival if so how much is it for 1 hour ? Thanks
No need to book in advance, pay when you Exit from Car Park. Here is a link to another video of mine on Parking Charges... ua-cam.com/video/5Kw9TjYCkng/v-deo.html
Best way is to follow my instructions to Short stay car Park T3 but keep in the left-hand lane and you’ll see ‘oversize vehicles parking’ on the left, park there take the lift upstairs to Level 1. Walk across the Glass Bridge and then down into the arrivals hall....really sorry for delay in replying.
@@heathrowairport165 Thanks for Reply, luckily Gridlock before the tunnel into terminal and in the lane nxt to me was a Heathrow employee who said the same as you! Thanks again for Reply 👏
hello, I am going there in two weeks my first time thank you so much for your video it helps a lot and do we have to pay before we go in our car? what if I paid and then I am in there for 10 mins extra for some reason
To be honest I wouldn't pay upfront in advance, I would just clearly take a ticket as demonstrated keep the ticket and then pay as you exit, more simpler and effective with no stress.
Any idea pn parking charges? I seem to only find either conflicting or extortionate pricing for T3 short stay. Only need to be there an hour to collect someone and I've seen prices from circa £10 up to £70 !!
These are the Present Prices for T5 (0-29mins £5.10) (30mins-44mins £8.20) - (45mins-59mins £11.00) (1hr-2hr £13.90) (2hr-3hr £17.10) (3hr-4hr £20.70) (4hr-5hr £26.50) (5hr-6hr £34.10) (6hr-9hr £46.50) (9hr12hrs £60.80) (12hr to 24hrs £73.90) PLEASE NOTE: these prices are for Short Stay Parking Only)
@@kensyskye8965 as far as I'm aware there's no exemptions or special rates, but it does give you priority parking by the Entrance of the Terminal in the Car Park. You will clearly see marked bays for disabled perking bays ok. 👍
Are people allowed to wait for passengers in Arrivals hall now? I know Covid has calmed down and was wondering if my family was able to wait for me in the T5 arrivals?
Hi, is there any changes these days due to Covid restrictions etc or this video is still upto date one. Its 2 months old so I guess it is exactly what i need. Also could you please suggest, if I should tell my uncle to come to the Short stay car park level 3 (assuming i will park there). And is it just called Short stay carpark or there is any code etc for it? I am going to puck him up in the morning and am very nervous aa never been to T3 before. Please reply. Thanks a lot.
@@heathrowairport165 thank you. I played this video while driving there (not watching just for a quick glance in between) and it was spot on. Many thanks👍
Is this the recommended route? I typed in the same address on Google maps and it seem to lead me to a rooftop parking which takes the right lane. Do you also need to book a parking space or can you just drive in?
Just follow the video, nothing's changed since I filmed it. No need to pay for your parking in advance short stay car parking is what is described in my video. Yes you can drive straight into the short stay car park. You will have no problems following my video.
You can go in there for 29mins... If you go over that time, the charge will be Very High! This long stay car park is very far from the Terminals itself, so not too sure that will be a practical solution to what you're trying to achieve.
@@heathrowairport165 Seems to be the opposite to what you're saying? Long term is only £8 for 2 hours, where as its £8 for 30-45 mins at a short stay. Long term seems a way better deal even if its further?
@@peter5998 IF you go long Stay Car Park you will have to go on a FREE Bus service, this will take you into the Center of Heathrow, then you have to walk into T3 or T2 to collect your passenger! You will then have to do it all again in reverse. IF you are no bothered about time then this would be another option for you. This process could take you well over 1hr to complete.

Morning, The walkway is it on level 1 of the short stay car park terminal 3 ?? thanks
Park on Level 3 as video describes, Level 1 can be Very Busy 👍👍👍
A really useful video
Thank you so much
Isn’t it better to use T3 long stay which is free for 30 mins and only costs £8.30 for up to 2 hours?
Yes that is an option for you, but this will take a very long time. This way is far easier.

How long are you allowed to stay on the car park
Up to 24hrs...see my other video on Car Parking Prices...thanks for watching. 👍
