gatwick 4 star hotel and 15 days parking for £95!

I have been searching around for cheap parking for Gatwick (and come to the conclusion that there is no such thing)

The cheapest parking I could find was about £100 with parking places such as Tudor Rose etc, so I thought I would have a look at the cost of a hotel and 15 days parking and I found several sites offering an undercover 4 star hotel with 15 days parking for £95, you have to also pay the transfers to and from the hotel of £2.50 per adult each way, but still a good deal I think

I found this on airparks http://www.airparks.co.uk/

unfortunately this deal is no good to me as our flight is in the evening and I don't need a hotel but I thought I would share it as it seems a good deal

    we r staying at the worth hotel, about 3 miles from gatwick, price for a room for the 4 of us, plus breakfast in the morning, and 16 days car parking is £120, not a bad price, here is there website, the price they quote is £100 with 15 day parking, but we thought it was worth paying the extra £20 for the breakfast, and the extra days parking, as we fly out on the saturday, and dont get back here till the sunday, hth Dave
    Take every day as it comes!!

    thanks

    good link and it looks like hotel and parking is cheaper than just parking.

    will have to research on the ones it comes back with etc.
    any bad ones to avoid?

    I found 15 days parking for £70.50 about a week ago for 1st 2 weeks of July.
    £72.69 is best I can see now at http://www.airport-parking-shop.co.uk/
    where they searched 6 airport parking providers.
    If you go through Touchdown.co.uk and click on 'other benefits' you'll get it for just £63.74.

    Don't understand why you're still getting £112 as if I enter 15 days in July, say from 10th to 25th, I can still get £72.69 (APH) and that's at an ACPO approved car park. Prices go up to £136.95 if you want meet and greet at Gatwick.

    If you are flying in the evening, are you also coming back in the evening? If so, you might consider having the overnight in the hotel when you get back, so you are fresh for your onward journey?
