Leaving the car at Gatwick ... silly question but ..........

I'm thinking of leaving my car with one of the Gatwick car park operators for 2 weeks. The problem is that I'm gonna have a few things in the car (like sat-nav and mobile phone stuff) that I don't particularly want to have to take overseas with me, but I'm reluctant to leave it in the car.

Does Gatwick have secure lockers etc where I can dump things like that while I'm away? I've never left my car in airport parking before so I know it's a silly question but what do other people do?

(I need the satnav to get to the airport in the first place so I can't just leave it at home!)

    Seriously??? :eek:

    Can't you print off a map or follow the hundreds of roadsigns that direct people to Gatwick (being a slightly major landmark)???

    That way you can leave your satnav at home.

    Just hide the stuff in the boot or get an in-car safe.

    There is luggage storage at Gatwick (not sure about lockers - it's usually a manned left luggage office these days) but the daily cost won't be far off the daily parking rate.....
  • Use a secure parking operator like APH, and lock everything in the boot

    Their car park is off site and they bus you to the airport, but its clean tidy and well organised. plus there are people in and out all the time so its likely to be pretty safe anyway.
