London Gatwick Airport Parking Guide
Compare Park & Ride, Meet & Greet, and Long Stay — Updated 2026
Gatwick parking is the second-busiest UK airport parking market — 45+ million passengers annually across North and South Terminals. The two terminals are 4 minutes apart by inter-terminal monorail, but each has dedicated on-site car parks. Off-site Park & Ride operators (Maple Manor, Long Stay Gatwick, Purple Parking) sit 5-10 minutes from the terminals with free shuttle. Meet & Greet is widely available and Gatwick-airport-approved (not all UK airports approve Meet & Greet operators).

FAQ
North or South Terminal — which has cheaper parking?+
Pricing is essentially identical at the two terminals. North Terminal serves easyJet, BA short-haul, Virgin Atlantic, Norwegian. South Terminal serves BA long-haul, TUI, Wizz Air, others. Book based on your terminal, not on parking price.
Best Gatwick Meet & Greet operator?+
Looking4Parking and Holiday Extras are the most-reviewed Gatwick Meet & Greet operators with 4.5+ star ratings. Maple Manor Park & Ride is the budget-cheap Park & Ride alternative. All are Gatwick-airport-approved which matters for insurance + security.
How early should I book?+
For school-holiday windows (Feb, Easter, May half-term, July-August, October half-term, Christmas) book 4-6 weeks ahead. For non-holiday weeks, 2-3 weeks ahead is sufficient. Booking 3+ months out for Christmas/NY trips saves up to 40%.
Can I switch terminals?+
Yes — Gatwick has a free inter-terminal monorail running every 4 minutes 24/7. If you parked at South but fly from North (or vice versa), the journey is 2-3 minutes. All major parking operators serve both terminals with their shuttle.
