Parking at Gatwick

[burbs]

Hi

Im going to Florida in August for 2 weeks. I have been looking around at a few parking sites so as we are able to park at or near Gatwick airport. The prices are coming back at about £100, is this about right? Anybosy got any good sites?

Thanks in advance

I think you will find purple parking amongst the cheapest, they are further out than most parking, and provide a shuttle service, they usually only operate in the summer months.

We normally use APH they are normally pretty good value. They are offsite from Gatwick. The coach ride to Gatwick is about 20 mins if I remember correctly.

Thanks, this is the company that have quoted us £100. Thought they seemed the best option.

Try BAA website, I booked a "summer special" at £33.30 for 8 days and that was on-airport.

Just tried a fictional 15 days in August to get you an idea and it came up with £80.20 on-airport for south terminal or £52.30 off site searching under north terminal.

We always stay at Staith House a lovely little B&B 5 minutes away from the south terminal , we have a room for the night they take you to the airport the next morning and car is sfe for the time we are away. All for about £75.

I used Purple Parking recently and managed to get a very good deal by using my Tesco clubcard vouchers. I had to submit £20 worth of vouchers and got £80 worth of parking. This was for two weeks parking.

We have always used Courtlands. Although they advertise as off airport they are on the perimeter fence and therefore only a few minutes from the terminal.

Thank you all for the advice, all of it brilliant. I actually found the Purple Parking website earlier this afternoon whilst i was just mooching around the internet. I have applied to change my clubcard vouchers into clubcard deals and it looks as if i will be getting parking through them.

I was a bit weary about using them as i hadnt seen much information about them on the net but as SG has used them in the past it looks as if they are the best option.

We had a good deal last year 3 weeks parking and 1 night b&b (the night before we flew) for £125 they took us to the airport in the morning we had alovely night sleep in our room was tv, shower, bath etc and a full size fridge with toaster, kettle, selection of cerals, bread, tea ,coffee, juice, milk ,crockery,everything you could think of. The room was lovely and the people so friendly.
After the holiday they were at the airport to pick us up and took us to our car.
We will use them again. DM me if anyone would like the details.
Also in the past we have stayed with bigger hotels offering 1 nights stay and parking for 2 weeks for around £85-£95 in August.
