If you’re travelling to Heathrow Airport, it’s worth knowing that the airport charges vehicles using the terminal drop-off areas.
The current Heathrow drop-off charge is £6 per visit and applies at Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Which Heathrow Terminals Charge for Drop-Offs?
The charge applies at all Heathrow passenger terminals:
- Terminal 2
- Terminal 3
- Terminal 4
- Terminal 5
If you’re being dropped off directly outside the terminal entrance, the charge will apply.
How Is the Heathrow Drop-Off Charge Paid?
The charge is not paid at the terminal.
Drivers must pay using Heathrow’s payment system after using the drop-off area. If the charge is not paid, Heathrow may issue a Penalty Charge Notice.
As Heathrow can change its charges and payment arrangements, it’s always worth checking the airport’s website before travelling.
Can You Avoid the Heathrow Drop-Off Charge?
Heathrow does provide alternative parking areas away from the terminals which may allow passengers to avoid the drop-off charge.
However, these options often involve additional walking or a shuttle bus journey to the terminal.
For many travellers, being dropped directly outside the terminal remains the most convenient option.
