Default Gatwick parking required

Morning all.

Can anyone recommend some good parking for a week at Gatwick?

Looking for something not too far from the airport and one where you don't leave your keys with them!

If it's cheap that would be a bonus!

Cheers,

Paul.

I'd be interested for replies on this too. Definately don't want to leave my keys! It's easy to find such places for Heathrow, but not for Gatwick.

Dont want to make you paranoid or anything, but, last time I parked my Scooby at an airport it was the last I saw of it [Birmingham and an open air NCP with non-existant security].

Whoever you chose check their T&C's and consider >clears throat<, public transport. 2 on a bus was more expensive than 5 days airport parking at Heathrow for me last time

The two i use every few weeks are
CPS - Airport valet parking, the market leaders
www.purpleparking.co.uk (their meet and greet service).

Yes they are both valets where you leave your keys with them. CPS better as they are on site, but purple are fine too and a little cheaper. of the two CPS is definitely better.

I simply cant be assed to catch a sodding bus coming off a flight or going to a flight- even when I have no hold baggage and carry on only.
Come back, call them when stepping off the plane or at baggage belt, use IRIS for immigration so no line, then straight out and car is waiting kerbside already warmed up. Job done in just a few minutes. Better than pissing about on some chav infested bus.

I usually find the price difference to not be a vast amount more, so worth paying for the reduced hassle.

I always spend the night before in a hotel...
1. You dont have to rush about on the day you fly off.
2. No sitting in traffic on the M25 and missing your flight.
3. Most hotels now let you park there for 2 weeks for free and you keep the keys on you.
3. "WHY" pay about £80pw to park your car where you don't know if it's safe when you can park you car in the hotel car park that you need a pass to get it out and has CCTV around..... Most hotels are about £100 for a double room for the night and you get 2 weeks parking... I know what i do......

Ibis. 2 mins from airport, have their own transprt bus and you don't have to leave the keys. If your lucky you can get under cover and if you are like me park for a week then just go under the barrier after someone else and don't pay a penny

Otherwise it is 5 quid a day.
