What is the official Gatwick Airport parking?

Official London Gatwick Parking is the only on-airport South Terminal option that can guarantee you the most convenient parking spaces. Whether you're travelling for business or a much-needed all-inclusive holiday, airport parking couldn't be easier.



The official parking at London Gatwick Airport (LGW) is managed directly by the airport and is divided into several categories based on proximity and price. Short Stay parking is located within a few minutes' walk of the North and South terminals and is ideal for passenger pick-ups or short trips. Long Stay parking is the most popular "official" budget option; it involves parking in a secure lot further away and taking a free shuttle bus (running 24/7) that takes about 5–10 minutes to reach the terminal. For maximum convenience, Gatwick offers Official Valet Parking, where you drop your car at a dedicated point near the terminal entrance. There is also Premium Parking, which provides wider bays and direct terminal access. Booking these "Official" options through the Gatwick website ensures the highest level of security (Park Mark accredited) and avoids the risks associated with some third-party "meet and greet" operators.
