Parking at Heathrow

I am flying out via terminal 3 but coming back into terminal 5 two weeks later. I would like to have a hotel/parking deal but can’t seem to work out which hotel would be best given the different terminals. I wondered whether a meet and greet would be a good idea as I want to be away quickly on landing back not tracking halfway across the airport to pick up the car.
Happy to stay at a hotel a bit further out and drive in at 6am.
Any advice? I seem to be going round the houses looking at different options!

Will watch with interest as have exactly same dilemma although we're away 3 weeks in August. Did a lot of research, I was put off the cheaper meet and greet options due to horrendous reviews and the official options were sooo expensive. I concluded best option is taxi from home.

I can’t taxi home as it’s long drive home!

Premier inn bath road. There is a shuttle bus to the terminals. Slightly cheaper usually as well.

I did meet and greet a few weeks ago as I was going out of T5 and into T3. It was very easy, and dropping off/picking up in the short term car park meant no trailing around

Can recommend VIP meet and greet.
I've just booked terminal 4 Travelodge for £39. Will drop car with VIP at short stay car park, pick up on return.
They do Heathrow/Gatwick combination too for really awkward flight.
About £110 for 2 weeks.

So I can drop off at one terminal and pick up and a different one? I was a bit worried about that.

Can anyone recommend a specific company. Im reading reviews and a bit horrified at some of them!

Yes, it's the first time I'd done it and was worried, but no problem at all

I used the official Heathrow parking. If someone has my car keys, I want someone really trustworthy!

VIP

Used twice.
Once Gatwick drop off Heathrow pick up.
Once simple Heathrow t4 both ends.
No issues at all, even with us running late for drop off. Both August school hols.

We always use Purple Parking meet and greet. Never had any problems and would recommend them. Much quicker than parking off site or staying in a hotel. We have a nearly new Porsche and yes, we do trust them!

We use purple parking too.
