Is there a fee to drive to Heathrow?

On top of this, for drivers going to Heathrow there is a £5 drop-off charge and a minimum of £6 charge at short-stay car parks (or free for up to 30 minutes at long-stay car parks). Previously, there was no charge. Drivers have to either log on or phone up with their registration number to pay.
