Gatwick Park and Ride

Save Money with Park and Ride at Gatwick Airport

Park and ride is invariably one of the cheaper ways to park at Gatwick, particularly for longer journeys.

You are not parking at the terminal, so you won't be charged the same price as for valet or short stay Gatwick parking, while being monitored and protected during your journey by operators in a large secure compound.

As with all Gatwick parking, booking ahead is the smartest move. The earlier you book, the more choices you'll have and the lower the price is likely to be, since rates climb as spaces fill up closer to the travel date.

The savings are even more significant for trips of a week or longer. Daily park and ride rates are considerably lower than short stay rates, making this an excellent option for families on holiday, business travellers, or anyone keeping an eye on travel costs.

Compare Park and Ride Options at Gatwick

Not all park and ride operators at Gatwick are the same. Price, shuttle frequency, and security levels vary between them, whether you search for park and ride or park & ride Gatwick. On CPP, you can sort listings by price, customer rating, and terminal to see only the options that match your flight.

If a shuttle transfer isn't your preferred option, meet & greet Gatwick and Gatwick valet parking are also listed alongside park and ride, so you can weigh up the extra convenience of a door-to-door service against the lower cost of a shuttle. Park and ride tends to offer the best daily savings for longer trips, while valet is a strong choice for early morning flights or families travelling with young children.

Booking takes minutes. After securing a deal you are happy with, you will get instant confirmation via e-mail, and most reservations have free cancellation.

Gatwick has two terminal buildings, with their own park and ride compounds and shuttle buses, so be sure to work out which terminal you are flying from prior to booking.

Parking at Gatwick North Terminal

Parking Gatwick North Terminal options run a regular shuttle service directly to the North Terminal forecourt. If you book a North Terminal car park, your pickup and drop-off point is the same terminal, so there's no cross-terminal transfer to worry about.

Parking at Gatwick South Terminal

Parking at Gatwick South Terminal works in a similar way, with dedicated shuttle services to and from the South Terminal forecourt. South Terminal handles the majority of Gatwick's traffic, so compounds here are well set up to handle high passenger volumes and frequent shuttle departures, even at peak times.

Not sure which terminal you're flying from? Check your airline confirmation before booking, then filter by terminal on CPP so you only see the park and ride options that match your flight.

How Park and Ride Works at Gatwick

Park and ride at Gatwick is a simple process from start to finish:

  1. Book in advance: Compare operators on CPP and reserve your space, choosing the correct terminal for your flight.
  2. Drive to the compound: On the day, follow signs to your chosen car park rather than the terminal itself.
  3. Park and take the shuttle: Park in a secure, monitored bay, then board a regular shuttle bus to the terminal.
  4. Go to the departures: The shuttle drops you at the terminal forecourt to take you to check in.
  5. Pick up car on arrival: Take the shuttle back to the compound on arrival, and pick up the car.

Parking Near the Airport

Location and security matter just as much for a park and ride as for any other type of Gatwick parking. Whether you're away for a weekend or a fortnight, your car is looked after by fully fenced, CCTV-monitored compounds that are staffed or patrolled around the clock. Many also offer well-lit bays and covered parking.

Accessibility should also be taken into account. Park and ride shuttles are wheelchair accessible and operate often with short wait times. Alternatively, if mobility is an issue, consider Gatwick meet & greet or Gatwick valet parking, as they don't involve a shuttle transfer. For travellers considering parking at Gatwick long stay, the transfer time between both North and South Terminals is quite short, as these are conveniently located just a few minutes' drive from the terminal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Park and ride is a service where you park your car in a secure, monitored compound close to Gatwick Airport, then get picked up at your terminal by a shuttle bus. It's one of the most popular and cheapest methods of parking at Gatwick Airport.

Generally, yes. Park and ride at Gatwick is usually cheaper than meet & greet Gatwick, since your car is parked in a shared compound rather than being driven to the terminal for you.

Please read your airline confirmation before booking. Park and ride shuttles at the North Terminal are for the North Terminal, and park and ride shuttles at the South Terminal are for the South Terminal. Changing the terminal is not necessary on the day, as the correct one is booked beforehand.
