VW California in a 2m Height restricted car park

[ahjury]

Hi. I need to take my daughter at Heathrow Terminal 4, so would use the short term parking. Height restriction says vehicle height restricted to 2m. My VW Beach 2019 is listed as 1990cm, though the awning does seem to be a tiny bit higher (maybe 1cm). Just wondering if anyone has taken their van into the T4 short term multi story. When it says max vehicle height am I correct in assuming that the roof height is then higher than this to allow a 2m vehicle access. My problem is I don't really have any other choice. If I do any of the park and rides, I need to pay minimum of a day rate - and may not be able to get back to it on the last bus. Thanks for any advice

I’ve never done that particular car park but I’m sure others here have and will feedback.

Generally speaking, 2m height restrictions is 100% fine. I go into 2m underground and multi-storey car parks all the time, including at airports. All fine.

If there’s a speed bump just before the entrance, just go slowly on it so that you don’t bounce up I guess.

Use T5 parking all the time - the Cali never been an issue and that also says 2M.
