Travellers who need to park their vehicle for more than a day can take advantage of the many long-term parking options at Gatwick Airport. Visitors can use the short-term car parks at each of the airport’s two terminals, but these are not the most economical choice. There are 19 different long-stay parking lots located within minutes of Gatwick Airport.

Despite being off the airport grounds, all of these long-stay car parks offer secure parking facilities and plenty of space. Free shuttle vans transfer passengers to the terminal of their choice frequently throughout the day and night. Depending on which car park you choose, the trip to the terminal will take from 5 to 15 minutes. Rates are charged by the day, with a slight reduction in the daily rate if you stay more than six days.

For the ultimate convenience travellers can take advantage of the meet and greet valet service. A chauffeur will meet you in the Departure area at a prearranged time, take your vehicle and drive it to their secure compound. Upon your return the valet company will have your vehicle ready and waiting outside the Arrivals area. Although this is the most expensive parking option, it is certainly the most convenient.

Whether you would like to arrange for a valet pick-up or use one of the many long-stay parking lots, it is recommended that you pre-book your parking online. There are several advantages to online booking. The rates offered through the internet are almost always significantly cheaper than those given if you simply arrive at the car park. Pre-booking online also ensures that a parking space will be ready and waiting upon your arrival.
