• Short-Stay Parking – South Terminal

Short-stay is built for speed. The car park is directly linked to the terminal by a covered walkway, so you’re inside check-in a minute or two after locking the car. It’s a natural fit for overnight business trips, picking up family, or any journey where you don’t want to factor in a transfer. The daily rate is higher than other options, but pre-booking cuts the cost noticeably compared to the gate price. Check live short-stay rates for your dates and secure a spot right by departures.

• Long-Stay Parking – South Terminal

If you’d rather skip every possible delay, meet and greet is the answer. Drive to the designated drop-off point outside the South Terminal, hand your keys to an insured driver, and walk straight to the check-in desks. Your car is parked in a secure compound for the duration of your trip. When you return, it’s waiting at the same terminal drop-off. Meet and greet suits families with children, travellers carrying heavy luggage, or anyone who simply values a quicker, calmer start. Compare providers for the South Terminal and pick a deal that works for you.

• Meet and Greet Parking – South Terminal

Holidays and longer breaks are where official long-stay makes real sense. Gatwick’s South Terminal long-stay car park sits on-airport, fully secured, with a 24-hour shuttle bus that runs to the terminal. The transfer typically takes around 5–10 minutes. Booking early pushes the price well below short-stay, and you still get the reassurance of an official Gatwick car park. It’s a straightforward, budget-friendly pick that doesn’t complicate the morning of your flight.

• Park and Ride – South Terminal

Park and ride often represents the cheapest Gatwick South Terminal parking option. You leave your car at a secure off-site car park a few miles from the airport and take an included shuttle bus straight to the South Terminal forecourt. Independent operators compete hard on price, and the savings can be significant, especially on longer trips. Shuttle frequency varies between providers — if you’re travelling very early or late, check the timetable on the listing before you book. It’s a proven way to trim the total trip cost without cutting corners on security.
