How can I get cheap parking at Gatwick North Terminal?
We're committed to providing cheap parking at Gatwick North Terminal that doesn't compromise on safety. We can't guarantee it'll be the cheapest, but we can promise a friendly, convenient and secure service that offers peace of mind 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 in advance online. Additionally, consider off-site parking facilities – these often offer lower rates and free shuttle services to the terminal. Finally, long-term parking options could be sensible if your trip extends beyond a few days."
How far in advance you book your parking.
One factor, however, has the greatest impact on the final price:
Gatwick North Terminal Parking Prices by Booking Window
| Booking Window | Average Price Per Day | Estimated Weekly Range (7 days) | Price Insight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6+ months before travel | £5.36 | £37 - £45 | Lowest prices and widest choice |
| 3-6 months before travel | £8.68 | £60 - £65 | Competitive rates with good availability |
| 1 month before travel | £10.13 | £65 - £75 | Prices begin to increase |
| 2 weeks before travel | £9.79 | £70 - £80 | Prices vary and some options may sell out |
| 1 week before travel | £13.14 | £90 - £100+ | Highest last-minute rates |
Booking several months ahead usually offers the best value. Travellers who reserve parking six months or more in advance pay around £5.36 per day on average, while those leaving it until the final week before travel may pay over £13 per day.
This means a week of parking can cost £50 or more extra if booked at the last minute, particularly during busy travel periods.

How do the Gatwick North Terminal parking types differ?
Here are the secure car parking options we offer at Gatwick North Terminal. You can compare the prices and locations to find the best option for you.

How does your on-airport parking work?
On-airport parking keeps you within the airport grounds, meaning shorter transfer distances and a quick route to the terminal.
The typical process is straightforward:
Drive to the car park → Park your vehicle → Take the shuttle to the North Terminal → Enjoy your trip → Return to the car park after landing
Shuttle transfers usually operate regularly throughout the day and take only a few minutes.
On-airport parking is particularly popular with:
- Business travellers
- Families travelling with luggage
- Short-stay trips
Although it can be slightly more expensive than off-site options, many travellers prefer the speed and convenience of staying within the airport perimeter.
The Long Stay car park operates in the same way but includes a shuttle transfer. These take 7-12 minutes and run regularly. When you return from your travels, take the Long Stay shuttle bus back to the car park, pay at the ticket machine and collect your car.
How does your off-airport parking work?
Park & Ride parking offers one of the most affordable ways to park near Gatwick North Terminal.
These facilities are located a short distance from the airport and provide frequent shuttle buses to the terminal, usually taking around 10–15 minutes.
The process works as follows:
Drive to the parking facility → Park your car → Board the transfer bus to the terminal → Enjoy your trip → Take the shuttle back after your return flight
Advantages of Park & Ride include:
- Lower weekly prices
- Secure off-airport parking compounds
- Reliable transfer services
For travellers going away for a week or more, Park & Ride is often the best value parking option at Gatwick North Terminal.
How does Meet & Greet parking work at Gatwick North Terminal?
Meet & Greet parking provides one of the most convenient ways to park at Gatwick North Terminal.
Instead of parking yourself, you simply drive directly to the terminal, where a professional driver meets you and parks your vehicle for you.
The process is simple:
Drive to the terminal meeting area → Hand your vehicle to the driver → Walk straight to check-in → Enjoy your trip → Your car is returned when you land
Vehicles are stored in secure parking compounds equipped with:
- CCTV monitoring
- Security fencing
- Controlled access points
Meet & Greet parking is particularly helpful for:
- Families with children
- Travellers with heavy luggage
- Passengers on tight schedules
It eliminates the need for transfer buses and reduces the time spent parking before departure.
All our Meet & Greet partners, as well as our own APH Meet & Greet Forecourt service, are listed on Gatwick Airport’s Approved Operator Scheme.
