Heathrow top for airport parking charges


It costs more to park your car for one to two hours in the short stay car park at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 4 than it does at any other airport in the World.

A two-hour stay during peak morning and evening periods costs £12 - £8.35 more than at New York's JFK.

A one to two-hour stay, off peak, still costs a hefty £10, while a 24-hour stay will set you back £53.90 - more than the cost of some budget flights!

The astronomical prices were highlighted by a recent investigation by the Sunday Mirror

Mobile phone app to park your car

It may seem a bit far-fetched but Bosch is developing a mobile phone app that could soon be parking your car!

Well, I guess, there's a phone app for most things these days so why not one to park your car?

It's not just a phone app, you would need to add parking sensors to your car too.

According to Bosch, the technology won't be available until 2015:

I'm not sure I would trust a mobile phone app to park my car and I'd be worried about cars being parked next to mine using the app too.

How about you? Would you trust a mobile phone app to park your car?
