Airport Parking - Gatwick

I need 2 weeks in Mid-Feb for Airport parking at Gatwick.

Have used Purple Parking before, and if i rememeber a MSE'er here said about a code to input?

I have had an offer email from them and it comes in around £50?

However I tried the MSE sites to get best prices and they are much more?

Just wanted any tips or hints/codes on Airport parking before I book?
:)

Thank you

    Used Cophall parking recently, cheapest I could find at the time. Good service too.

  • Using the links on this MSE page, specifically Holiday Extras and SkyPark Secure, I can see prices from £41 upwards for two weeks from Sunday 7-21 Feb.

    Both are of course off-airport, one is APH and the other is Purple Parking (though the way things work means that the actual car park operator might have a completely different name... APH operates car parks down Gatwick way, but I don't think Purple Parking have any of their own near Gatwick, instead I think they're a reseller).

    Thanks!

    i didn't get such a price when I did it but I will look again..

    Are there better deals to be had to include a hotel for the night before departure?

    I have seen some with hotel and parking?
    Or is it better to do cheap Travelodge and parking?

    My flight departs at 6.30am and with 3 hrs before, plus travelling to the airport, its looking like a hotel stay? :(

    I've used APH at Gatwick. It's a bit of a drive from the airport but ok.
    Good deals with Tesco Clubcard of Topcashback. They do hotel too.

    Purple Parking are located just next to Gatwick runway.
    And they have bus services to/ from airport to their yard.
