Why choose Meet & Greet parking at Gatwick North Terminal?
Booking Gatwick North Meet & Greet parking with APH guarantees a smooth, stress-free start to your journey. All services we offer are operated by Gatwick Approved Operators, meaning your vehicle is handled by fully vetted, authorised professionals you can trust.
Our own APH Meet & Greet Forecourt service, along with trusted partners such as Ace Parking and I Love Meet & Greet, are all part of this official scheme. This ensures you’re always booking a secure, accredited and legitimate parking service, whichever option you choose.
As the UK’s second busiest airport, Gatwick can involve longer transfer times if you choose off-airport parking. With Meet & Greet, you drive directly to the North Terminal, avoiding shuttle buses and saving valuable time. In fact, some park and ride services can add up to 40 minutes to your journey, while our APH Forecourt option is just a two-minute walk from departures.
For added peace of mind, your car is stored in a secure, private parking facility while you’re away - rather than a busy public car park. Combined with APH’s reputation as a family-run business since 1980, British Travel Awards winner since 2010, and a Which? Recommended Provider (2024 & 2025), you can book with complete confidence.
