Park & Ride · every terminal
Park & Ride is the usual way to spend less at Gatwick: you park the car yourself and take a shuttle. Transfer time and how often the bus runs are on the product — compare those with the total, not the sticker figure alone.
Match the product to the North Terminal or the South Terminal before you pay. The wrong terminal means a transfer you did not budget for.
Look at the stated transfer time, whether the shuttle runs through the night, and the cancellation terms on the product. Flexible and non-flex products are labelled on the card.
Keep your keys unless the product says otherwise. On return, use the shuttle back to the compound. A2Z is the booking agent; the operator runs the car park and the buses.
Book the product that lists your terminal. Transfer time for the North Terminal or the South Terminal is not the same journey, even when both options are called Park & Ride.
Usually, once you include the shuttle wait and the ride. Factor that in for early flights. The product card states the operator’s typical transfer.
On Park & Ride you normally keep your keys, unless the product says otherwise. That is shown before you pay.
Book the product that lists the North Terminal or the South Terminal, matching the terminal on your ticket. They are not interchangeable on the day.
Change your mind in the first 24 hours after booking and cancel without a charge. After that a cancellation fee applies, and the operator's own terms continue to apply.
Every operator on A2Z is checked before it is listed, and the security features of each car park are shown on the product so you can see what you are booking.
Your confirmation arrives by email as soon as the booking completes, with the address, the arrival instructions and the contact number for the car park.
The price you compare is the price you pay. Any checkout charges known to us, including airport access fees, are shown before you reach the payment step.
A UK based team has been handling A2Z bookings for more than 9 years, and they are reachable by phone and email if anything about your booking needs changing.

Gatwick rewards travellers who decide two things early: which terminal they are flying from, and how much walking they are willing to do at either end. Get those settled and the price falls into place. Leave both open until the morning of the flight and you will pay the premium that Gatwick reserves for late decisions.
Gatwick has two terminals connected by a shuttle, and the parking that serves each is priced independently. The shuttle ride is short, but a compound positioned for the South Terminal is not the natural choice if you are departing from the North, and the operators price accordingly. Confirm your terminal before you book rather than after, because changing it later usually means rebooking rather than amending.
Gatwick carries an enormous share of the country's leisure traffic, which means its parking demand is far more seasonal than a business heavy airport. From late June through August, and across every school half term, the cheaper compounds sell out first and the remaining stock is priced to reflect it. Six to eight weeks of notice is worth real money here.
For a week or more away, the daily rate matters more than the convenience premium, and Park and Ride around the M23 corridor is consistently the better value option. For a two or three night trip, particularly an early departure, the gap narrows to the point where Meet and Greet is worth pricing properly rather than dismissing.
Gatwick pushes a heavy wave of departures out before seven in the morning, and everything around the airport is busier for it. Allow more time than the transfer estimate suggests during that window, and factor it in when you are choosing between a compound five minutes away and one fifteen minutes away. The cheaper option is only cheaper if you still make the flight comfortably.
