APH Gatwick provides safe and secure parking with some of the most advanced security measures available:
Including 24/7 digital CCTV monitoring with over 120 camera points, barrier-controlled entry and exit systems, and a fully floodlit site for complete visibility at all times. The car park is staffed around the clock, every day of the year.
Your vehicle remains safely parked onsite for the duration of your stay, with the APH team always available to ensure it’s protected. During busy periods, and only when operationally required, your vehicle may be moved to our secondary secure site -offering the same high level of security and care.
APH provides frequent shuttle transfers between the car park and both Gatwick Airport terminals, running every 10-15 minutes with a transfer time of around 10-12 minutes. Shuttles operate 24/7, serving both the North and South Terminals.
When booking our APH Gatwick Park & Ride option, you can be assured that your car will be fully secured in a car park that has been awarded the Park Mark Safer Parking Award. Our new state-of-the-art APH Car Park, just off the M23, is a fabulous new site, with easy access to both terminals at Gatwick. This is where you will drop off and pick up your car. And this is where your car will normally stay for the duration of your trip.
In peak travel times, however, APH offers expanded capacity to meet demand. This means that we could move your car to the former APH main car park at Snow Hill (overflow1) or to our alternative secure parking option (overflow 2), at Westlands. Either option will incur less than seven miles additional mileage. They are protected by full CCTV, security fencing, motion-detection alarms, and are approved with the Park Mark Safer Parking Award. Your car will always be returned to the main APH Car Park ready for you to collect.
