Why shouldn’t I just park my own car on-site?

It can seem that if your car is going to be parked at the airport, you may as well do it yourself. The issue is that parking at Gatwick is a lot easier said than done. Parking your car is guaranteed either to involve getting a transfer from one of the long stay parking garages or fighting for space in the cramped multi-story short stay options near the terminal.

Both of these options are stressful and time-consuming, especially if you’re travelling with children or racing the clock to catch a flight. Gatwick airport on-site valet service saves you the hassle and the time and allows you to go straight to your plane – which is, after all, the whole point of going to the airport.

What are the advantages of Gatwick airport on-site parking?

When choosing a meet and greet valet service at Gatwick, you have the option of having your vehicle parked either on- or off-site. The cheaper option is off-site, but this will mean that your car will be driven to parking area up to 15 miles away from the airport. With this service your car will not leave the confines of the airport while you’re away.

Drivers for on-site valet services will also meet you on the forecourt of the terminal, so you can step out of the car straight to check in. If you choose one of the off-site options then your drop off point will likely be at one of the short stay car parks, meaning you’ll still have to walk to the terminal – just as you would if you parked the car yourself.

Here are just a few advantages of using Gatwick airport on-site parking service:

Drivers meet you on the forecourt of the terminal
Your car will never leave the airport while you’re away
Gatwick airport onsite parking is very secure
