From October 2021, Heathrow Airport will be introducing a charge for vehicles dropping off passengers at its terminal forecourts.
A £5 charge per visit will apply to use the designated drop-off zones located directly outside the airport terminals.
The Terminal Drop Off Charge will apply to all vehicles entering the forecourts of Heathrow’s terminals, although some exceptions will apply, such as blue badge holders and emergency vehicles. The forecourts are the easiest and quickest way to drop off passengers.
Our car parks remain available, and normal charges apply. This will not impact passenger pick up, which should continue via the car parks, as picking up passengers is not permitted on the terminal forecourts.
Free drop-off options will remain available at Heathrow’s long-stay car parks.
