Anyone any recommendations for parking for three weeks and a hotel stay overnight the night before we fly from T2. Ideal world we rock up at the hotel, park up, stay the night and then get bus in to T2 in the morning. Don’t really want to be bothered moving the car around near Heathrow in the morning, got stuck in traffic there once before.
Good luck with this one, will be following the thread to see what others suggest.
I used to park up in the Long Stay but last time I did so for a two week stay I came back to all the car windows down and the doors unlocked, the seats and carpets were wet through. I went to find an attendant to see if cars had been broken into when we were away and was told it was common practice on Vw group cars, perhaps due to vibration. I checked with a vw forum and this was a failing on older Golfs and Passats.
One hotel did a deal where you stay the night, they store the car when you are away and bring the car back to you on return. Since then I have heard horror stories of the cars being used when you are away as airport taxis and left anywhere, one car was reported to the police because it had been left on someone's drive
The cost of long term parking is now crazy, the last trip we made I just took a taxi and they picked us up when we got back, the cost was £1 a mile which was cheaper than parking.
