Terminal 5 stands at the western edge of Heathrow and is home to British Airways. Arriving here, you can collect a car near T5 and be on the M25 without crossing the rest of the airport - ideal for Windsor, the M3 or the M40.

Where to collect your car

Some suppliers serve Terminal 5 directly, with a base at the Sofitel hotel that is linked to the terminal. Others run depots on the northern perimeter or at hotels on Bath Road and the Colnbrook By-Pass, a short transfer away. Filter by pick-up type and check your voucher for the exact T5 meeting point.

Tips

Before you set off

Own motorway spur

T5 has a dedicated link road to M25 junction 14, so you avoid the central terminal area altogether.

Windsor next door

Windsor Castle and Legoland Windsor are a short drive west - an easy first stop on a longer trip.

Check your terminal

British Airways flies mainly from T5, but some of its flights use Terminal 3. Book the pick-up that matches your arrival.

Refuel on the way in

Fill up before you reach the airport roads on your return, so you don't hunt for a forecourt near departure time.
