What Can You Expect to Pay for Gatwick Airport Parking?

The cost depends on when you book, how long you stay, and the type of parking you choose. Booking in advance almost always offers better availability and lower prices than leaving it late. Options include:

  • Meet & Greet for maximum convenience
  • Park & Ride for excellent value
  • Official airport car parks
  • Short stay for quick visits
  • Long stay for holidays and extended trips

Travelling during school holidays or peak summer? Booking early can make a noticeable difference to the price.

Stay Close Before You Fly

If you have an early departure or late-night arrival, a hotel near Gatwick can make the journey more relaxed. Many nearby hotels offer overnight stays, and some provide hotel-and-parking packages so you can leave your car safely parked while you're away.

Find the Parking Option That Fits Your Journey

Every traveller has different priorities, which is why Gatwick offers a variety of services.

Meet & Greet

Drive to your terminal, hand over your keys, and head straight to check-in while a professional driver parks your vehicle securely.

Park & Ride

Great value: park in a secure car park and take a complimentary shuttle to the terminal.

Official Airport Parking

On the airport grounds, with convenient access to both terminals; ideal if you prefer to park on-site.

Long Stay

Perfect for holidays or longer trips; secure, with regular shuttle transfers.

Short Stay

For a few hours, a meeting, or collecting family and friends, close to the terminal buildings.

Know Before You Drop Off

Gatwick operates designated drop-off zones outside both terminals, where charges apply (a minimum charge for stopping in the terminal drop-off zone). If you're saying goodbye to family or friends, check the latest drop-off guidance before you travel and consider the Long Stay car park (free for the first period) for anything more than a quick drop.

Easy Access from Across the South East

Just off the M23 with direct links to the M25, Gatwick is easily reached from London, Surrey, Sussex, Kent and surrounding areas. Clear signs guide drivers to both the North and South Terminals, keeping arrival straightforward even during busy periods.

Your Trip Deserves a Smooth Start

Take the hassle out of airport parking with A2Z. Compare trusted providers, choose the option that suits your journey, and secure your space in a few simple steps. With competitive prices, reliable services and flexible options, you can book with confidence and focus on enjoying your trip.

Your journey at Gatwick

Practical guidance for drop-off and collection. Exact meeting points are always on your operator voucher.

Where to meet

Your confirmation voucher shows the exact operator Meet & Greet point or Park & Ride reception for Gatwick. Arrive at the booked time and follow the operator’s signs — not the public short-stay car parks unless told otherwise. A2Z is the booking agent; the operator handles the day-of service.

Terminal map

Check which terminal your airline uses before you leave home. Operator Meet & Greet and shuttle routes differ by terminal at larger airports — using the wrong terminal delays handover.

Directions

Follow airport “Departures” then operator instructions on your voucher. Keep the operator phone number handy for the last 15–20 minutes of your drive.

Traffic tips

Build in extra time at peak holiday weekends and early mornings. Roadworks and airport drop-off congestion are the most common causes of late arrival.

Arrival instructions

On landing, collect bags then call the number on your voucher. For Meet & Greet, wait at the agreed collection point; for Park & Ride, use the shuttle back to the compound.

Departure instructions

Allow time to hand over keys or catch the shuttle before airline check-in closes. Have your booking reference and vehicle registration ready.
