Gatwick Park and ride services
There is a good choice when it comes to the traditional park and ride service. In order to pick the service that best suits your needs it is best to first decide whether you would like to park your car 'on' or 'off' airport. A good rule of thumb is that the further away you are prepared to park the cheaper gatwick parking becomes.
The 'on airport car parks' consist of 'Parking Express' at the South Terminal and ''NCP at the North Terminal. Both offer excellent facilities as you would expect from an BAA authorised car park. Both operators run frequent buses from the car park to the terminal and each has a huge capacity although it is advisable to book in advance, particularly during the summer season.
In addition to these there are many 'off airport' services which are generally cheaper. You should allow yourself additional travelling time and in some cases account for the frequency of the transfer service as some do not run buses as frequently as the 'on airport' services.
Valet Parking or Meet and Greet Parking
The valet parking service operates from both the North and South terminals.
On your departure from Gatwick - Drive directly to the terminal drop off point where one of their drivers will be waiting to meet you. He will assist you with your luggage and then park your car in their secure car park for you.
On you return to Gatwick - They will be monitoring your return flight so they will know when you have arrived. Your car will be returned to the terminal so that when you walk outside you can drive straight home or continue on your onward journey without delay.
