Airport parking Gatwick North

[hollyround]

We are off on holiday in May and need to book our car parking. Does anyone have any reccomendations? We are flying from Gatwick North and we are flying out in the afternoon but arriving back at 2am!!
Last year we parked at the airport and it was just a short walk which was great but the valet parking seems too be coming out cheaper??
If anyone can help that would be great! : )

We used valet parking at Gatwick last time we flew from there - was FAB an also cheaper than the car parks.

You drive to departures - hand over your keys and go - then someone meets you at arrivals at your pre arranged time with your car.

So much easier! And cheaper too....!

Oh that sounds great, can you remember which company you used as there seem to be a few?!

We used the normal car park and paid in advance. Much cheaper than expected. There s no way I am giving my keys away to a company.

If you are getting back at 2am have you thought about a hotel with parking? We have the same issue in Jul and have booked 15 days parking with an overnight at the end (plus breakfast!) for under £100. We've also done it before when our flight out has been early morning.

(that was for 3 people BTW at a place 4 mins from N Terminal)

We did the valet parking at the north terminal. It was so stress free as it literally right next to the terminal. Booked it through www.holidayextras.co.uk. Which was slightly cheaper than booking direct.

Think we used skypark secure? Can't remember but we had no probs with them and my sis always uses them whe she goes away (alot)

Does anyone know if there is a car park on site that you can walk to and from the terminal? Last year we flew from south terminal and there was one as definately don't wan't the hassle of a bus but still not 100% sure about valet parking having watched a programme on the tv last year?!!
I don't think we want to stay in a hotel as rather get back to our own beds and my husband is happy to drive!

I always use valet parking and have never had any problems. I used to check the mileage before I handed the key and on the way back, but I don't bother any more.

I like the hotel thing as I worry about me/DH falling asleep at the wheel, especially if there are any delays. But each to their own

The long stay parking at Gatwick North is about a 10 min free bus ride from the Terminal and will cost you around £60 for a week.

The closer Car Park (a walk to the terminal) will cost you about £80 for a week.

Just google Gatwick North Parking

We have used 'meet and greet' at Gatwick. It was so easy and we would definitely use it again. (my bil has always used it and goes away a few times a year). I was very reassured by our car being driven off by middle aged men ad women i.e. no 'boy racers'!

Purple Parking gives a good break down of prices from different companies. I may have a code for money off if you want to pm me, I will look through my deleted emails.

I can't find an up to date Purple Parking email but do have a Gatwick Reservations 20% off Valet Parking.

Book through Gatwick Reservations and quote 'GATRES20'. Hope that works for anyone trying. If not, pm me your email address and I will forward the email.

Have a good trip op!

I've just received a Purple Parking email and have forwarded that too op!

Hope it helps!

All booked thankyou so much everyone, especially DaftMaul x

My pleasure
