“Very smooth service – took our keys, checked us in, and put us on the shuttle to the terminal. When we landed, the bus came to collect us. Bus drivers were so kind too. Would definitely use APH again.” – Alia Kambi
“Reasonable price, easy to find, staffed by friendly people. Pulled up right outside the office, handed in my key, and got straight on the bus. The bus driver kindly loaded our heavier cases. Even in the early hours, staff greeted us with smiles.” – Richard B

I’ve chosen APH Park and Ride for every one of my trips for years now — more than 20 visits, and it has never let me down. It offers fantastic value for money — easily the best prices around, with no hidden costs at all.
The location is perfect: very close to the airport, so you never waste time travelling. The shuttle bus service is brilliant — always clean, punctual, and runs frequently, so you’re never left waiting around. Everything is simple and stress‑free: easy to find, easy to park, and I always feel completely confident leaving my car there.
Reliable, great service, great prices — I wouldn’t use anywhere else! I recommend it to everyone. ✅🚗✈️
We have always found them to be excellent value for money!
I would personally like to thank Darren one of the drivers as I had inadvertently left my mobile phone in my car which was parked in the self park carpark.
Darren took my keys and personally got my mobile phone and arranged for a colleague to drop my phone and keys to me at the North Terminal.
Darren's excellent customer service ensured that we didn't miss our flight.
I will always recommend APH!
Thank you Darren!
Everything is very efficient, well organised and clearly well thought out. From the booking process through to dropping off and collecting the vehicle, the whole experience runs smoothly and gives confidence that things are being managed properly.
What stands out most, however, is the staff. Every member of staff I've interacted with has been courteous, professional and respectful. That might sound like a simple thing, but it makes a huge difference to the overall customer experience, particularly when you're travelling and want things to be as stress-free as possible.
It's clear that there are good systems in place, but it's also clear that the people working there care about delivering a good service. The combination of efficiency and genuinely good customer service is what keeps me coming back.
Credit should go to whoever is leading and managing the business, as well as to the staff on the ground who deliver the experience day in, day out. Their efforts are noticeable and appreciated.
I've used APH several times and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable, well-run airport parking with excellent customer service.
On return only had to wait about 10 mins for pick up. Both drivers were excellent but special mention to the return driver. He was polite, cheerful and helped everyone with bags. Despite it being 11pm he even gave a rendition of "wheels on the bus" for a young kid at the front.
The transfer bus service was excellent too. Unlike Purple Parking that we used last year, the bus drivers at APH loaded and unloaded all of our cases for us which was massively appreciated after a long journey. Every driver we came across was really friendly, chatty, and helpful, and they also gave very clear directions which made everything even easier.
Overall, a fantastic experience and one of the best airport parking services we have used. We would strongly recommend APH Gatwick to anyone travelling from Gatwick and we will definitely be using them again next year.
Excellent service from start to finish at Gatwick APH. We had the most friendly driver on our return today. So helpful, lifting our heavy bags. Then we had an issue with the battery not working on our remote key so couldn’t start our car. This was also swiftly solved by such helpful staff. The guy on the car park got his manger James and he was able to help us and get the car started. Brilliant. Thanks so much for a great service.

The best service I have ever had. So great to have such helpful bus drivers who help with the luggage. The service in the office was outsta, DOROTA for calming me down and being so wonderful, all with a smile.nding, I was checked in there, nothing was too much trouble, Thank you
What a totally stress relieving service, normally stay the night at a hotel before flights to save the rush in traffic but will use APH again. Very professional on departure and a lovely girl met us on arrival at 0615. Great customer service and very reasonable prices. Really impressed
Brilliant service .very helpful people and very good for the price. Can’t fault it at all
We decided on the meet and greet service with APH to make our airport experience easier, something we have not done before. This will definitely be the only way we park for future holidays. The instructions to meet the APH staff couldn’t of been easier and then we were greeted by a friendly, polite lady, who simply gave us a card with instructions of what to do on our return, less than 5 minutes and we were on our way to the terminal.
On our return it was just as quick, we called the number from baggage reclaim, colllected our luggage, walked straight to where we had dropped our car and once again there was a man ready and waiting for us with our car. He sorted out the ticket and handed to us to scan at the exit if it did not pick up on the registration number. Once again we were on our way within 5 minutes. This service couldn’t of been easier. Thank you APH for taking the stress out of the very beginning and very end of our amazing holiday.
Used your car parking and transfer service during the recent half term holiday to gatwick. Excellent service, efficient and very cheerful staff ( both on reception desk and the bus drivers ) inspite of the very early hour of the day. A great start to our holiday! Perhaps you could spread your excellent customer service on to the air line we travelled with – they could learn a lot from you guys
Hello and thanks for your kind words and taking the time to post them here. Glad your parking experience was posoitive and sorry… hope the flight wasn’t too stressful! Thanks again and hope see again you soon.
