Gatwick airport parking - North vs South

I am travelling from Gatwick South terminal in an early morning and coming back at North terminal again in an early morning.

Where should I park - North or South?

There is slight price difference, South being bit more expensive than North. Any reason for that?
Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

  • Personally I would park in North...

    The fact it's cheaper helps but I'd rather be straight out after a long flight. I'd also find it easier to swap between terminals when you've not had the hassle of being on a cramped flight for several hours!

    It is really not a problem moving between the two terminals. A short and easy 3 minute monorail ride. I would just select the car park that suits, perhaps the North as it seems to be cheaper and you return into that terminal. If parking in North I would allow an extra 20/30 minutes on your check-in times for the coach from the North LS car park to the terminal, the short walk to the monorail station area and journey, then the walk to your South terminal check-in area.

    WE used Purple Parking for Gatwick, very easy and frequent busses to both terminals. Plus only £16.09 for a week in January.

    Not sure when you are going but there is a discount offer at the moment.
