There are numerous off-site car parks within a five to fifteen minute drive away from Terminal 4. These car parks are run by private parking providers, meaning that their locations, facilities, and pricing structures differ. These car parks are in direct competition with the At Terminal T4, and as such, offer discounted rates and free transfers in both directions. To use one, you simply make your booking online, then drive to the car park on the day of your flight, park your vehicle, and board one of the fast, free shuttle bus that will drop you off at your chosen terminal. On your return, a shuttle bus will be dispatched to the terminal to meet you, and bring you back to the car storage facility.
