Parking at Gatwick Airport


London Gatwick Airport is one of the UK’s busiest and most popular international airports, serving millions of passengers every year. Located just 30 miles south of Central London, it offers flights to hundreds of destinations worldwide. Whether you’re flying from the North or South Terminal, parking at Gatwick Airport is convenient, flexible, and secure. With a wide range of official parking options to suit every budget and travel plan, Gatwick ensures that your journey starts off on the right foot. In this guide, we’ll walk you through all the main parking types and explain why booking in advance is the best way to save money and reduce travel stress.

Gatwick Airport offers Short Stay, Long Stay, Premium, Valet, and Meet and Greet parking options at both the North and South Terminals. All car parks are safe, well-lit, and protected by CCTV surveillance and regular security patrols. Whether you’re away for just a few hours or several weeks, there’s a perfect parking solution for your trip.

Short Stay Parking at Gatwick Airport

Short Stay parking is ideal for picking up or dropping off passengers, short business trips, or weekend getaways. Located directly next to both terminals, these car parks offer unbeatable convenience—just a 2–5 minute walk to departures and arrivals.

Each Short Stay car park is a multi-storey facility with barrier control, secure lighting, and designated Blue Badge spaces. You can turn up and pay on the day, but booking online in advance is recommended for the best rates. It’s a great option if you need flexibility and want to be as close as possible to the terminal.

Long Stay Parking at Gatwick Airport

Long Stay parking is designed for holidays and extended trips, offering excellent value for money. These car parks are a little further from the terminals but are connected by a free shuttle bus service that runs every 10–15 minutes, 24 hours a day. Travel time from the Long Stay to either terminal is around 10 minutes.

You keep your car keys and park in a secure, fenced facility with regular patrols and ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) entry. Booking online in advance is strongly recommended to get the best deals and secure your space, especially during school holidays and busy travel periods.

Premium Parking

If you’re looking for a faster and more luxurious experience, Premium Parking at Gatwick offers extra-wide bays located closer to the terminal than standard spaces. This option is ideal for business travellers or anyone short on time. Premium Parking is available in the Short Stay car parks at both terminals.

You can walk from your car to the check-in desk in just a couple of minutes. It’s a popular choice for those with large luggage or passengers with mobility concerns. Booking online guarantees availability and ensures a smooth, hassle-free experience.

Meet and Greet Parking

Meet and Greet parking is the ultimate in convenience. Simply drive to the designated drop-off area at your terminal, hand your keys to a fully insured driver, and walk into the airport. Your vehicle will be parked securely while you’re away and returned to the same location on your return.

This service is perfect for families, business travellers, or anyone with lots of luggage. It’s fast, simple, and often surprisingly affordable when booked in advance. Both North and South Terminals have official Meet and Greet zones with excellent signage and support staff to assist you.

Valet Parking

Valet Parking is the most premium parking option available at Gatwick Airport. In addition to the convenience of Meet and Greet, Valet Parking includes optional extras such as interior and exterior car cleaning. It’s perfect for busy professionals or anyone wanting their vehicle returned spotless.

This service must be booked in advance and offers a premium end-to-end experience with dedicated service desks and personalised support. It’s ideal if you want a completely hands-off parking experience with the highest level of care and attention.

Blue Badge / Accessible Parking

Designated Blue Badge parking bays are available in all official Gatwick car parks. These spaces are located as close as possible to lifts, shuttle stops, or terminal entrances. Assistance can also be arranged in advance for passengers with reduced mobility. Gatwick’s team provides full support from the car park to check-in and all the way through security if needed.

There is also the option to use Meet and Greet parking for added ease, as it offers door-to-door access with minimal walking distance.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging

EV drivers will find charging points available in select car parks at Gatwick, including the Short Stay and Premium areas. These charging bays are clearly marked and conveniently located. If you plan to use this service, check availability and compatibility ahead of time, and allow extra time for charging if needed.

Security and Safety

All official Gatwick Airport car parks are Park Mark® accredited, meaning they meet stringent safety and security standards. With CCTV coverage, barrier access, floodlighting, and regular patrols, your car is in good hands while you’re away. You can travel with peace of mind knowing your vehicle is safe and secure.

How to Book Parking at Gatwick Airport

Booking parking at Gatwick Airport is quick and easy. You can book directly via the airport’s official website or through trusted third-party providers. Just enter your travel dates, select your preferred terminal, and choose from the available parking options.

Most car parks operate with ANPR, meaning your number plate is scanned upon entry and exit—no need for paper tickets. After booking, you’ll receive a confirmation email with detailed instructions, directions, and support contact details in case you need assistance.
