Dropping off friends and family

Follow signs to departures, where you will be directed to the terminal forecourt. Please note that this is for dropping off only, and no waiting is allowed at any time.

Picking up friends and family

As no waiting is allowed on the forecourts, we sugggest you use the short stay car parks when picking up passengers.  

In North Terminal, we offer a dedicated Rapid Pick-Up area on the ground floor of Car Park 6 where you can park for up to 15 minutes at no charge.

In South Terminal, standard short-stay charges apply. The car park nearest to arrivals is Car Park 3, and this is the best car park to use when collecting arriving passengers. 

Evening parking special

If you live around Gatwick and it's easier to jump on the train to London for a night out, then we've got a great deal for you.

You can park any time after 17.00 and up to 02.00 in our South Terminal short stay car park for a flat rate of just £12.50 - a saving of up to 50% off the standard rate. That gives you the chance to treat yourself to a pre-theatre meal or drink, to enjoy the West End spectacle of your choice and still have plenty of time to get back. If you stay for less than three hours then you'll only be charged the normal hourly rate.

North Terminal Premium parking 

For travellers who value the convenience of parking as close to the terminal as possible, a dedicated parking area is available in our North Terminal short stay car park 6 on level 4. This costs:

Duration Price
0 - 4 hours £18.30
4 - 12 hours £32.60
12 - 24 hours £40.30
Price per subsequent 24 hours (or part)         £40.30

High-sided vehicle parking

All vehicles over 1.8m should use the special high-sided parking areas, with the exception of car park 6 in North Terminal which will take vehicles up to 2.1m. 

For parking at the South Terminal, please use the special parking area adjacent to the short stay car parks.

The North Terminal high-sided vehicle park is now closed as part of the North Terminal redevelopment programme. Alternative parking is available at the North Terminal long stay car park.
