Park and Ride services are also extremely straight forward and stress-free.

Most services serve both terminals and also offer you the use of facilities at the car park, such as toilets, waiting rooms and even bars and restaurants with some! There are also excellent levels of security offered for your car, just make sure to choose an option with the Park Mark Police accredited security award.

How do Park and Ride Services at Gatwick work?
With Park and Ride Gatwick Airport you will have no issues with the parking process, as it is easy and hassle-free. At most Park and Rides you will need to drive to the car park and drop-off your vehicle in the arrivals area, unload your vehicle and hand in your car key at reception. While you are away your car will be parked in the secure compound and only moved if necessary, to ensure good management of the space. You can then hop on the shuttle bus to the airport which either runs on-demand or at regular intervals. The bus will drop you off outside your terminal, whether North or South, and you can catch the same bus from the same spot on your return to the car park.
