Park & Ride vs Meet & Greet at Gatwick

Not sure which Gatwick Airport parking option to choose? Ultimately it comes down to budget versus convenience:

• - Park & Ride - the cheapest Gatwick parking. Park your own car in a secure car park and hop on the free 5-minute shuttle to your terminal.
• - Meet & Greet - the fastest, most convenient choice. Drive to the terminal forecourt, hand your keys to an insured driver and walk straight to departures with no transfers needed.

Both options include 24/7 CCTV, security patrols and we're Never Beaten on Price.

Park and Ride

When you use a Park and Ride service, you will just need to drive to your chosen car park at Gatwick which will either be located at the airport or close by. Once you've checked in, load your luggage on to the courtesy transfer bus, then sit back and relax whilst you are driven the short distance to the airport terminal. On your return, the courtesy bus will take you straight back to the car park and your car, which will be ready for you to collect.
