Airparks Drop & Go is a great-value park and ride option if you want simple, secure Gatwick parking without the fuss. It’s just a few minutes from the terminals, and once you arrive, a member of the team will park your car for you so you can head straight to the shuttle bus. Transfers run regularly, take around 10 to 12 minutes, and operate 24 hours a day, so you won’t be left waiting around. Airparks works in partnership with APH, which has been named a Which? Recommended Provider for two years running, giving you extra confidence in the service.
Your car stays in the same secure car park while you’re away, with 24/7 security including CCTV, gated entry and exit, regular patrols and on-site staff. The team are known for being friendly and helpful, and it’s a service lots of customers come back to again and again. It’s an easy, no-stress way to start your trip, with everything taken care of from the moment you arrive.
Much smoother than I expected.

Need to know
Keep an eye out for the Airparks and APH signs and follow the fenced road into the car park. Drive through the ANPR barrier and head to the photo booth. Your car is scanned in 360° to record your car's condition from every angle. Then pull into the nearest arrivals lane and head into reception.
Hand over your keys at the desk – the team will take care of parking your car for you. While they get it securely parked, you can grab a coffee from the machine and head to the bus stop.
Shuttles run every 10 to 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, and take around 10 to 12 minutes to the airport depending on which terminal you're flying from.
When you get back, hop on the return shuttle to the car park, pop into reception to collect your keys, and they'll direct you straight to your car.
You'll find the postcode for satnavs and a handy what3words link in your booking confirmation to make your journey smooth from start to finish.
Accessibility
Both the car park and shuttle buses are wheelchair and pushchair accessible. If you need any assistance, the team can bring your car to one of the accessible spaces close to reception and the bus stop when you return.
Facilities
You'll find toilets and baby-changing facilities just outside reception, plus a paid coffee machine for those early starts.
Security
Your car's in safe hands. We only work with trusted car parks that take care of your car like it's their own. While your car's with them, it's fully protected – so you can head off without a second thought.
This secured car park includes:
- CCTV monitoring
- Entry and exit barriers
- Perimeter fencing
- 24-hour patrols
The small print
We recommend giving yourself around 30 to 40 minutes to drop your car off and get the shuttle bus to the airport.
Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles) will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit under the 2.4m entry barrier and fit in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m).
Early or late? The car park offers a grace period up to midnight at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £15 per day. This is subject to change.
Returning to a different terminal? Don't worry this car park runs shuttles to both terminals. On your way to the airport ask your bus driver where to go on your return.
