Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest way to park at Gatwick?
When looking to save money on Gatwick parking it is best to opt for an off-site Park and Ride service. These car parks offer the best value for money with prices often cheaper than the official long stay options and similar or even shorter transfer times to the terminals.
Which is the best Gatwick parking?
Our highest customer rated Gatwick car park is Ace Parking. They provide a highly professional Meet and Greet service that offers a seamless, stress-free experience from drop-off to pick-up. Their friendly, professional staff are fully trained and insured to drive your vehicle and will ensure that your trip begins in the right way.
Can I just turn up and park at Gatwick?
Yes, you can arrive at official Gatwick car parks and buy a ticket on the day. However, this is not recommended. Prices on the day are always higher than when you book in advance and you have fewer services to choose from. There is also the possibility that you will have the stress of being unable to find a space.
Do you have to book long stay parking at Gatwick?
No, you can buy a ticket at the official Long Stay car park on the day. However, it is always best to book in advance for the best prices and a good idea to consider the off-site Park and Ride services for lower prices and similar transfer times. Begin your search in the bar above!
What is valet parking at Gatwick?
Gatwick Airport valet parking or Meet and Greet parking is a service that allows you to drop your car off at or near the terminal building with a professional valet. Your car will be parked for you in a secure car park and returned to the same area on your return. You often have the option to have your car cleaned or serviced while you are away.
How long before my flight should I arrive at Gatwick?
The time you arrive at the airport will depend on where you are going and the time of year. For international flights outside of Europe it is recommended you arrive at the airport 3 to four hours before your flight. This is to leave time for longer security checks. For European and domestic flights the recommendation is to arrive at the airport 2 to 3 hours before your flight. However, during the peak summer months, it is a good idea to give yourself some extra time. Waiting times at baggage drop and to get through security can increase significantly during peak times. Waiting times for Park and Ride buses can also increase.
How Does Meet and Greet Gatwick Airport Work?
Using Meet and Greet Gatwick is a simple parking process. First of all, depending on the service you choose, you will need to give them a call 10 to 30 minutes before you are due to arrive. You can then drive to the terminal forecourt or the meeting point arranged during your call. When you arrive, a professional valet will be waiting to greet you. Make sure that staff provide you with an ID when you meet them and that together you check over your vehicle. Once you have unloaded your vehicle and handed over your keys, you can take the short walk to the terminal and your car will be parked for you. When you return, you will again need to give the parking service a call once you have picked up your luggage and your car will be waiting for you where you dropped it off.
How do Park and Ride Services at Gatwick work?
With Park and Ride Gatwick Airport you will have no issues with the parking process, as it is easy and hassle-free. At most Park and Rides you will need to drive to the car park and drop-off your vehicle in the arrivals area, unload your vehicle and hand in your car key at reception. While you are away your car will be parked in the secure compound and only moved if necessary, to ensure good management of the space. You can then hop on the shuttle bus to the airport which either runs on-demand or at regular intervals. The bus will drop you off outside your terminal, whether North or South, and you can catch the same bus from the same spot on your return to the car park.
Does Gatwick Airport offer handicap parking?
Disabled parking bays, catering to Blue Badge holders, are available across all of Gatwick Airport's car parks, ensuring convenient access for individuals with reduced mobility. These dedicated bays are situated in both the Long Stay and Short Stay car parks at both the North and South Terminals. For those opting for Valet Parking and wishing for their vehicle to be parked in a blue badge bay upon their return, simply present your blue badge to the staff during vehicle check-in, and they will arrange accordingly.
Blue Badge holders can also benefit from discounted rates on Premium Parking in the South Terminal when parking for under four hours. Upon arrival, press the 'Assistance' button at the entry barriers; when departing, pay at the customer service office to avail of the reduced rate. Normal parking charges will apply for durations exceeding four hours. In the North Terminal, Blue Badge spaces are conveniently located on the terminal level, eliminating the need for this distinction.
Does Gatwick Airport offer parking for commuters?

Located in the South Terminal Short Stay car parks, with easy access to Gatwick train station, our facilities cater to those seeking flexible monthly, quarterly, or yearly season tickets.
