There is a Short Stay car park located at both the North and South terminals at Gatwick. Both are located close to the terminal buildings, once parked, you can walk from your car to arrivals or departures. These car parks cannot be booked via Holiday Extras however, for prices and more details please see our Short Stay information.

If you are parking for over 4 hours, instead of using the Short Stay car park which tends to be expensive, you can save money by booking your airport parking in advance with Holiday Extras.

Short Stay parking at Gatwick

You are no longer permitted to pick-up passengers outside of the North or South terminal doors.

Picking-up at Gatwick: When you want to pick somebody up from the airport you will need to use the Short Stay North or Short Stay South car parks, which charge for up to half an hour and then by the hour.

You can park for free in the Long Stay car park for up to 2 hours, however you will need to board a transfer bus to get to the terminal.

Dropping-off at Gatwick: There are designated drop off zones at both terminals. The North Terminal drop-off is located on the lower level forecourt between the Sofitel Hotel and the multi-storey car park. The South Terminal drop-off is also on the lower level. Both are well signposted as you approach Gatwick.

It can get very busy, so if you'd prefer a longer farewell you are advised to use the Short Stay car park.

Is cheap best?

The security of our customers' cars is the no.1 priority for Holiday Extras. There is no point in offering cheap prices if we aren't 100% sure we are providing high-quality and trustworthy services. That's why we make sure the car parks we provide not only deliver the best customer service but also the highest levels of security.

Booking with a company you trust is of utmost importance, you need to be sure you know your car is going to remain safe during your holiday.
