Long Stay
Gatwick Long Stay parking is an official service provided by the airport. The car park is very popular during the peak summer months as it is a good budget option for those travelling for more than a few days.
Gatwick Long Stay serves both the North and South terminals and it is located nearest the North Terminal. Buses to the North Terminal have a 5 to 10 minute transfer time and for the South Terminal it is slightly longer at 7 to 12 minutes. During the peak months transfers can take longer due to the sheer number of people using this large car park. Bus frequency is also affected during this period.
The car park is simple to use and is all automated. You will need to drive up to the entry barrier and a number plate recognition system will read your plate to find your booking. Once identified the barrier will lift and you are free to find a space. When you leave your car will again be identified by the scanning system and any outstanding fees will be charged at the terminal before the barrier will lift.
