Flying from Gatwick? Here's how to access your Gatwick parking promo code
Book Gatwick Airport parking through this page and save up to 10% automatically – there is no voucher code to find, copy, or enter. Choose between Park & Ride (best value, short shuttle transfer) and Meet & Greet (fastest, walk straight to check-in). Prices and availability change with your dates, so use the quote tool above for today’s rate and the exact terms attached to your booking.
In a hurry? Park & Ride is the cheaper option and adds about 20–30 minutes to your journey at each end. Meet & Greet costs more and saves that time. Discount eligibility and the final price are shown in the booking journey.
How the 10% Gatwick parking discount works
The discount is applied automatically inside the booking journey when you start from this page. There is no code to enter, and nothing to paste at checkout.
- Enter your travel dates, times, and terminal in the quote tool above.
- Choose your option (Park & Ride or Meet & Greet).
- The discounted price is shown before you pay – no voucher code needed.
Why book through this page?
- Up to 10% off eligible Gatwick parking booked here.
- Options covering both North Terminal and South Terminal.
- Monitored sites with CCTV, fencing, floodlighting and barrier-controlled access – the specific features for each option are listed below.
- Cancellation options vary by product and booking type; check the terms displayed before payment.
Book early. Gatwick parking prices generally rise as the travel date approaches, so booking well ahead usually costs less than booking a week or two out.
Who operates your parking?
This page lists six Gatwick options. The options include APH-operated parking and services delivered by partner operators. It is worth knowing which is which before you book, because it determines who you deal with if something goes wrong on the day.
- Operated by APH: APH Gatwick Park & Ride and Airparks Gatwick Park & Ride. Check your booking confirmation for the operating car park, address and arrival instructions. APH has run airport parking since 1980 and operates its own car parks serving Gatwick, Manchester and Cardiff.
- Operated by partner providers, booked through APH: APH Meet & Greet Forecourt, I Love Meet & Greet, I Love Meet & Greet Valet and Ace Meet & Greet. The parking service is delivered by the named operator. Follow the contact and arrival instructions on your booking confirmation. This is set out in full in our terms and conditions.

Your Gatwick parking options
Each option below lists the same details – type, transfer or walk time, security, cancellation cut-off, who runs it, and who it suits – so you can compare like for like.
APH Gatwick Park & Ride
Our own Park & Ride car park is a convenient option for travellers happy to use a shuttle transfer. Compare live prices and the cancellation conditions for your selected booking.
- Type: Off-airport Park & Ride. You check in at reception and hand over your keys; our team parks the car.
- Where: Copthorne Road, Crawley RH10 3PD, just off the M23.
- Transfers: About 10–12 minutes to the terminals, with shuttles every 10–15 minutes, 24 hours a day. Transfers to both terminals are included in the price.
- Opening hours: Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
- Security: Security measures include CCTV and controlled access; check the product information for current facilities.
- Cancellation and changes: Check the cancellation deadline shown for your booking type before payment.
- Vehicle limits: Maximum height 2.4 metres. No trailers, and no vehicles over the height restriction.
- Operated by: APH.
What happens on the day: drive to reception, where a member of our team checks you in and takes the car – then take the shuttle to your terminal. On return, the shuttle brings you back and you collect your keys and car from reception.
How much time to allow: add 20–30 minutes to your airline’s check-in time. That covers the check-in queue at reception, waiting for the next shuttle, and the drive to the terminal. Allow longer during school holiday getaways and the early-morning departure peak.
If your car has a ghost immobiliser, contact APH before booking to confirm whether your vehicle can be accommodated and whether a self-park option is available.
Airparks Gatwick Park & Ride
Compare the Airparks and APH product details carefully, including the car park location, operating arrangements, price and cancellation conditions.
- Type: Off-airport Park & Ride (leave keys at reception).
- Where: Copthorne Road, Crawley RH10 3PD – the same site as APH Park & Ride.
- Transfers: About 10–12 minutes, shuttles every 10–15 minutes, 24 hours a day.
- Security: Check the product listing for current security measures.
- Cancellation and changes: Cancellation depends on the booking type and the terms displayed at checkout.
- Vehicle limits: Maximum height 2.4 metres; no trailers.

APH Gatwick Meet & Greet Forecourt

- Walk to check-in: About 2 minutes.
- On the day: Call the number on your confirmation when you are about 10 minutes away, drive to the meeting area, hand over the keys, and go. On return, call once you have your luggage and the car is brought to the meeting point.
- Drop-off charge: Check the product description and booking confirmation to confirm whether any airport forecourt charges are included.
- Security: See the product description for the operator’s security arrangements.
- Cancellation and changes: Check the cancellation deadline shown for your booking type before payment.

Transfer times, security details, vehicle limits and cancellation terms are taken from each product’s own page on aph.com and our terms and conditions, subject to change. Gatwick drop-off charges are published by London Gatwick.
Thinking of being dropped off instead?
Gatwick Airport charges for forecourt drop-off. Check the official Gatwick drop-off information for the latest charges, exemptions and maximum stay rules.
That matters in two ways. If someone drops you off and collects you, charges may apply on both visits. For Meet & Greet, check whether forecourt fees are included in the quoted price.
Why book Gatwick parking with APH
APH has been arranging and operating airport parking since 1980 and is still family-owned. We help around 300,000 customers a year, and we have won the British Travel Awards Best Company for Airport Parking since 2010. APH is a Which? Recommended Provider and a member of the Independent Airport Parking Association.
At Gatwick we run our own Park & Ride car park on Copthorne Road in Crawley – our site, our shuttle fleet and our staff, not a facility we resell.
Four things we have learned from running it, worth knowing whoever you book with:
- The 20–30 minute allowance is mostly queueing, not driving. The shuttle ride is the predictable part. Check-in at reception and the wait for the next departure are what vary, and both peak during the early-morning departure rush.
- Work backwards from the check-in deadline. Set your car park arrival time from your airline’s check-in cut-off plus 20–30 minutes – not from your departure time.
- Check what key your car came with before booking a valet service. Check whether your parking operator can accommodate app-only keys, immobilisers or other vehicle restrictions.
- If your plans are uncertain, the cancellation cut-off matters more than the price. Cancellation eligibility varies by booking and product; check the terms before paying.
APH Gatwick parking reviews
Reviews of APH airport parking are collected and published independently by Trustpilot, from customers who have used the service. APH has customer reviews available on Trustpilot. Here are two customer comments reproduced on this page:
"Thoroughly deserved 5-star review. All staff were pleasant and helpful. I was travelling with my two children, and the driver helped with our bags when we boarded the bus and on return, the driver took the bags off for us. The staff in the office were lovely. I called to let them know that my text was not going through to let them know I was on my way to pick up my car and they assured me my car would be there and ready for collection. It is refreshing to receive service like this today, APH you should be proud of your staff, they are amazing!" – Amanda Barnes
"Well done APH Gatwick. We parked up and got the transfer bus, but when we arrived at South terminal my wife realised she had left her handbag (with money and phone) in our car! I was just going to phone the APH office when the next drop off bus arrived and the driver called the parking lot to arrange for the handbag to be sent on another bus. Luckily, that all worked out OK and we caught our flight. So thanks again to all the staff at APH who helped us out that day." – Terry Carter

Gatwick parking discount FAQs
Does APH have a Gatwick parking promo code?
No code is needed. Book through this page and the discount of up to 10% is applied automatically in the booking journey. If you have seen a code advertised elsewhere, you do not need it here.
How much can I save with the discount?
Up to 10% off eligible Gatwick parking booked through this page, subject to the promotion terms. Your exact saving depends on your dates and the option you choose, and is shown in the quote tool before you pay.
Who actually operates the parking I book here?
APH operates its own Gatwick Park & Ride car park. Other options on this page may be delivered by partner operators. Check the named operator, arrival instructions and contact number on your confirmation.
What is the difference between APH Park & Ride and Airparks Park & Ride?
Compare the operating location, transfer arrangements, cancellation conditions and live prices shown for each product. Do not assume the two booking products have identical terms.
What are the cancellation rules for each option?
Cancellation terms depend on the selected parking product and booking type. Flexible and non-refundable bookings may have different conditions. Check the deadline shown at checkout and in your confirmation.
What is the difference between Park & Ride and Meet & Greet at Gatwick?
With Park & Ride you park off-airport and take a shuttle to the terminal – about 10–12 minutes at Gatwick, with buses every 10–15 minutes. It is the cheaper option. With Meet & Greet, you drive to the terminal forecourt, hand over your keys and walk about 2 minutes to check-in. It costs more and saves roughly 20–30 minutes at each end.
How much extra time should I allow for Park & Ride?
Allow time for checking in, waiting for the shuttle and the transfer to the terminal. At APH Gatwick the transfer itself is approximately 10–12 minutes, with shuttles typically every 10–15 minutes; allow extra time at busy periods.
Is Gatwick Meet & Greet affected by the Gatwick drop-off charge?
Gatwick applies forecourt charges. Whether a Meet & Greet booking includes these fees depends on the product; check the product description and your booking confirmation. For current airport charges, visit Gatwick Airport’s official website.
Is there a size limit on the vehicle I can park?
At APH Gatwick Park & Ride, the maximum vehicle height is 2.4 metres, and we cannot accept trailers or vehicles exceeding that height. If you are travelling in a van, campervan or roof-boxed vehicle, check the height before booking. Our transfer buses also cannot carry bikes, surfboards, windsurfing boards or similar items.
My car only has an app-based key, or has a ghost immobiliser. Can I still park?
Contact the operator before booking. Some valet services need a physical key, and some Park & Ride services need to move your vehicle. Availability of alternative arrangements and any charges must be confirmed for your chosen product.
Is there electric vehicle charging at APH Gatwick Park & Ride?
There is no EV charging on site at our Gatwick Park & Ride car park, though there are fuel sales nearby. If you need to charge before or after your trip, plan to do so off-site. EV drivers should also check the key question above, as many newer electric cars use app-based keys.
What happens if my flight is delayed on the way home?
Follow the return instructions in your booking confirmation and notify the operator of significant changes. Additional parking charges may apply if your booked stay is exceeded.
What if I am flying from the other terminal?
Gatwick’s inter-terminal shuttle is free, runs every few minutes 24 hours a day, and takes about 2 minutes. APH Park & Ride transfers serve both terminals and are included in your price, so you can be dropped at the right one.
Prices, charges and airport procedures change. This page was last subject to change by T. Liaqat, Group Acquisition Manager, and is reviewed quarterly. Gatwick’s drop-off charges are published by London Gatwick; review figures are published by Trustpilot; booking terms are set out in our terms and conditions.
