Low Cost Premier Service
Simply drive to departures, where you will be met by one of Airparks' friendly drivers. You can't miss them - they'll be wearing an Airparks uniform and a smile. You'll give them your keys and check over the car together. That's it, there's nothing more for you to do.
The most popular car park meets the most convenient service. After collecting your car, your Airparks driver will take your car to Airparks - our most popular car park at Gatwick. It's just three miles from the terminal and has award-winning security. It's also a Gatwick Approved Parking Operator - which means it has been audited and inspected by the airport to ensure it meets customer service standards. They really know what they're doing, they've been doing it since 1978.
When you return, you'll step outside the terminal to find your car ready and waiting - and we're pretty sure that's why 98 per cent of our customers said they'd book again. One customer described the service as “excellent, totally reliable and does exactly what it says on the tin.” Click the review tab above to see what other customers are saying.
