Cheap Airport Parking: Gatwick Airport hints, tips and local parking

aintreemaid

Hoped to find a great deal on the site that offers parking on private driveways but the cheapest I found was £4 per day. As I shall be away for about 5 weeks, Purple Parking's £84 (including transfers) beats that hands down!

I used gatwick parking4 you in October.when I came back from my flight and I called them to say I was ready to pick up my car they said they had no record of it and couldn't locate my car!!! After 90 minutes of me standing outside with my 3 kids in a parking lot and many phone calls they eventually returned my car! So much for meet and greet would have been quicker and cheaper to pick it up from the parking myself.
The worse bit though was they told me they would refund me (I guess to calm me down!!),however after again many phone calls and them saying the cheque was on its way,I gave up as it was clear they had no intention of refunding me in the first place.
Beware,they are cheap for a reason,unprofessional and dishonest.

If anyone knows any deals for Gatwick Parking that are current?

Also we need to stay the night before and travelling long haul, so will need 9 days rather than 8. How does that work with the packages of hotel plus car parking?

Have you thought of doing a meet and greet like Tudor rose and book into travel lodge for night before? We found that worked out reasonable..9 nights would be about £102.

The post before yours suggested Tudor Rose. I used them this year (February) and I can report no problems whatsoever and a value for money price. We arrived back at Gatwick after midnight an hour later than scheduled but still no problems, phoned from arrivals and car pulled up just as we arrived at the meeting point.


BTW, I don't work for Tudor Rose .

Whichever meet and greet parking company you use, just make sure that it's a Gatwick Approved operator.

Gatwick Approved operators all use ParkMark car parks and have been checked by Trading Standards and awarded their Buy With Confidence award.

There's a list of Gatwick Approved operators here: https://www.gatwickairport.com/parking/other-parking-options/operator-scheme/

How easy is it to walk to the terminal as it looks like its along the A23?
