Parking in Gatwick Airport

South terminal or North — compare parking

Gatwick is the UK's second-busiest airport, with two terminals separated by a shuttle train. Official airport parking rates are high, but a competitive market of off-airport operators (with free shuttle buses) can offer significant savings — especially for trips of 5 days or more.

If your airline uses the North Terminal, North terminal parking is closer. South terminal parking for a North terminal flight adds a shuttle ride.
