How to get cheap parking at Gatwick Airport South Terminal?
We're proud to offer several parking options so you can always access cheap parking at Gatwick South Terminal. We can't always guarantee the lowest price, but we can guarantee a trustworthy and convenient service that will put you at ease before and during your trip.
Our resident expert Rob, Contact Centre Manager at APH, has a few tips to share:
"To save money on airport parking, book your spot online and well in advance to take advantage of early-bird discounts. Consider off-site parking that includes complimentary shuttle services to the terminal, and long-term parking options can maximise your savings for extended trips."
1. Book early to save
Gatwick South Terminal parking prices are not fixed – they fluctuate with availability. One way to benefit from significant savings, therefore, is to book in advance.
Our research shows that if you book APH parking six months ahead of your flight, it could be 33% cheaper than making a reservation a week before departure. This means a week’s parking at Gatwick South could be £69.44 six months in advance or £105.12 within seven days of departure.
The graph below gives you an indication of how much Gatwick South parking prices can shift over six months. Prices are the average per day and based on APH Meet & Greet Forecourt parking.
2. Choose off-airport parking
Off-airport parking tends to be cheaper than on-airport parking. Our Park & Ride options with a free shuttle service are usually the cheapest parking at Gatwick South Terminal.
For peace of mind, the APH Park & Ride and Airparks Park & Ride car parks carry the Park Mark Safer Parking award and are protected with security fencing, CCTV, entry and exit barriers, and 24-hour manned patrols.

How does on-airport parking work?
Gatwick South Terminal offers both Long Stay and Short Stay parking within the airport perimeter.
The Short Stay multi-storey car park is right next to the terminal. Take a ticket at the entry barrier, park up and walk across to check-in. You'll be responsible for your keys and keeping your car park ticket safe. When you return, use your ticket to pay at one of the machines and then collect your car.
The Long Stay car park for Gatwick South Terminal uses a similar process, except you'll get a shuttle transfer direct to the terminal. These services are regular and take 7-12 minutes. When you return, take the Long Stay shuttle bus back to the car park and pay at the ticket machine before leaving.
The Short Stay and Long Stay car parks operate on a pay-by-ticket basis and do not require pre-booking. If you'd rather book on-airport parking in advance, our valet Meet & Greet service will see your car parked in a secure compound on your behalf.
How does off-airport parking work?
Off-airport parking at Gatwick South Terminal couldn't be simpler.
Self Park options like APH Self Park involve parking your car, keeping your keys and taking the free bus transfer, which runs 24 hours a day, to the terminal.
Park & Ride services, such as APH Park & Ride or Airparks Park & Ride, require you to park your car in an arrivals bay and leave your keys at Reception. Your car will be parked for you while you take the free bus transfer.
How does Meet & Greet parking work at Gatwick South Terminal?
Meet & Greet is a valet parking service that allows you to drive straight to Gatwick South Terminal, just as you would for the Short Stay car park.
