The two most popular ways to park at LGW. Meet & Greet saves you time; Park & Ride saves you money. Here is how they compare on today's live prices.
London Gatwick has 2 terminals. Confirm yours before you book, then pick the operator with the shortest transfer to it.
Airlines: Virgin Atlantic, TUI, Norse Atlantic, Norwegian and most leisure carriers.
North-side compounds around Lowfield Heath and Charlwood give the shortest transfers. A free 4-minute transit links to South if you need to switch.
Airlines: British Airways, easyJet (most flights), Vueling and Wizz Air.
South-side operators in Lowfield Heath and Salfords are closest. Confirm your terminal at booking — a last-minute switch can cost you 20 minutes.
The UK's second-busiest airport.
At London Gatwick today, Meet & Greet starts about £4.05/day more than Park & Ride, in exchange for skipping the shuttle at both ends.
Gatwick is the UK's second-busiest airport and the world's busiest single-runway airport. It handles around 45 million passengers a year across two terminals, North and South, connected by a free inter-terminal transit shuttle that runs around the clock.
The South Terminal is the older of the two and hosts British Airways, easyJet's main short-haul operation, and most Oneworld and SkyTeam long-haul flights. The North Terminal (extensively rebuilt in the 2010s) is mainly Virgin Atlantic, TUI, Norse Atlantic and a long list of independent leisure carriers.
Gatwick's parking market is widely considered the most competitive in the UK. The airport sits in semi-rural West Sussex with plenty of room for off-airport compounds, and shuttle frequencies between independent lots and the terminals are aggressive, typically every 5-10 minutes during peak hours.
All the practical access info, by car, train, coach and otherwise.
M23 junction 9 leads directly into the airport. From London, the journey takes around 50 minutes off-peak; allow 90 minutes during the morning rush. The A23 provides an alternative when the M25/M23 is congested.
Gatwick is one of the best-connected UK airports by rail. The Gatwick Express to London Victoria takes 30 minutes, and Thameslink runs a 24-hour service to St Pancras and beyond. Southern services link to Brighton (32 minutes) and the south coast.
National Express coaches run from London Victoria, Reading, Bristol, Birmingham and the south coast. easyBus operates a low-cost coach service from Earl's Court.
Bicycle parking is available at both terminals. The airport publishes route maps for cycling from Crawley, Horley and Reigate.
On-airport at Gatwick splits into Short Stay (multi-storeys attached to each terminal, ideal for drop-offs and stays under 24 hours), Long Stay (large open-air sites a 5-10 minute shuttle from the terminal), and Premium meet-and-greet handled by the airport itself directly outside arrivals.
The off-airport ring is dense. Park-and-ride compounds in Lowfield Heath, Salfords, Charlwood and Crawley typically run shuttles every 7-12 minutes and undercut official long-stay by 30-60%. Several operators specialise in covered, valet-style storage for stays over a week.
The questions our 24/7 team gets asked most about flying from London Gatwick.
8 days costs from £81.36 (about £10.17 a day) at London Gatwick right now, based on live prices from 19 car parks we compare. The cheapest option today is AVPS Park & Ride (park and ride). Prices move with demand and rise sharply in the last fortnight before travel, so booking early is what actually saves money here.
Today the cheapest is AVPS Park & Ride at £81.36 for 8 days, about £10.17 a day. There is no single car park that is always cheapest at London Gatwick, because operators reprice constantly, so the honest answer is to compare the live table above for your own dates rather than trusting a fixed list.
Yes, the inter-terminal transit runs every few minutes, takes about 4 minutes between terminals, and is free for all passengers.
British Airways, Vueling, easyJet (most flights) and Wizz Air operate from South. Virgin Atlantic, TUI, Norse Atlantic and Norwegian operate from North. Always check 24 hours before, terminal moves do happen.
Most operators run a 5-12 minute shuttle interval during peak hours; off-peak (overnight) intervals can be 15-25 minutes. Operator listings show typical times.
Cancellation terms are set by each operator, notice periods and any admin fees vary. The exact policy that applies to your booking is shown on the listing page before you book and on your booking confirmation.
For solo travellers from central London, the train is cheaper. For two or more travelling for 4+ days, parking usually wins on total cost.
