If you booked direct with Heathrow your booking should be amendable. Just change the times slightly to update it and you should get a refund. Or cancel and book again.

Purple parking is open and cheap (£34 for 6 days) but note the bus is only going every 20-30 minutes and goes to T2 before T5. This meant the bus both ways was absolutely full which isn’t exactly what is recommended at the moment....

Short stay was nudging £200 for 5 days a couple of weeks ago for me. Purple Parking meet and greet was £70. I don't usually use meet and greet services but it was absolutely fine.

Heathrow parking was cancellable up until t-24hrs unless it’s suddenly changed recently. You should be able to force a reprice if you amend it

Booking direct is currently cancellable up to t-2 hours. The refund is efficient too - I recently cancelled six days at the end of September of T5 Long Stay at £66 and had it back on my card within a couple of days. That price has now dropped to about £56, but I rebooked into Short Stay for £84.

Thanks rebooked at half the price
Normally the price goes up as you approach the date of departure
Just shows how under booked short stay is
I just can’t do buses to car parks any more.....

Had to amend my short stay booking from 7 to 8 days last week, a day before my initial return, and the price went down by £30-odd, instantly refunded onto my card. I thought the (IIRC) £130 parking cost for Level 1 at T5 for 8 days was pretty good value...YMMV!
