Question

Can anyone recommend good parking firms at Gatwick?

I am flying from there and need to leave my Scoob with someone who will NOT damage it. Ideally somewhere where I don't have to leave the keys with them and they can jump start the car if it doesn't start when I get back!!

Cheers
Peter

Thanks for the responses so far. I have done a search and it seems you need to be careful who you pick!

Any more suggestions?

Cheers

I used the on airport parking provided by Parking Express at the weekend. This is different to the Summer Special parking run by the same company and recently featured in the news! Mind you bearing in mind the recent publicity the summer special parking may be extremly tight on security at present!

With Parking Express you park your car in a space, leave it, take your keys with you and its no different to parking in an ordinary car park, other than the camera systems at entry and departure.

A bus runs every 7 to 10 minutes to take you to the South terminal, and the journey takes 5 or 6 minutes. Reverse the procedure for going back to the car.

I have used it severl times and think the service is good, and reliable. They offer free jump starts too!

Its not cheap but then no site is nearer the terminal! Booking in advance on their website saves money. When I park here I am usually going away by train for the weekend, so off airport parking is unwanted hassle!

Oh and I think the same company also run the Courtlands parking mentioned above.
