A room at any of the many UK airport hotels including 8 or 15 days parking is usually as cheap, or almost as cheap, as the cost the airport parking on its own.
This is particularly true of UK Airport Hotels at Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester, where a room at an airport hotel with free parking can actually be cheaper than airport parking.
For example, using the discount booking websites below you can book a double room at a Heathrow hotel for £60 including 15 days airport parking. This compares to the cheapest airport parking of £56 for 7 days and almost £90 for 14 days.
We've teamed up with four great websites to bring you the widest choice of UK airport hotels at any website and the best prices - whether you want a hotel with or without parking - offering savings of up to 70%.
As prices vary on a daily basis with demand, it is not possible to prepare a range of tables for 'who is the cheapest for each airport'. You will find the cheapest UK airport hotels by checking the following 5 websites to see which one has the best rate for the airport hotel you want today - it only takes 2 - 3 minutes for each search.
One final piece of advice - not all of the UK airport hotels featured offer free parking. If you want 'with parking' make sure the hotel says 'with parking'.
