Why is Gatwick Short Stay Car Park so expensive?
I want to pick my boyfriend up from Gatwick on Fri/Sat morning. I put in the times (arrive at 11pm - leave at 1am) on the Gatwick Car Park Pre Booking website and it says it will cost £20 for Short Stay, but only £8.70 for Long.
I dont want to stay in the Long as its further from the airport but i cant believe Short stay would be £10 an hour? Does anyone know what the rate is if you just go in there on the evening rather than pre-book?
Why do you want to be there for two hours? If you know the flight number, you can find the expected arrival time, before you start your journey, by going to the Gatwick Airport website & clicking on to Flight arrivals. This is something I do quite often, and I time it so that I arrive about 45 minutes after landing. By pre-arrangement with whoever I’m meeting, I pick them up from the short term car park and the fee, providing I’m no longer than 15 minutes, is £1.00p.
At South terminal the car park to pick up from is the short stay park 3 (orange). When meeting someone from North terminal, at an early hour of the morning recently, I actually picked them up from where I dropped them off at departures. There was no one around telling me to move on, so I avoided a parking fee altogether.
Presumably both you and your boyfriend will have mobile phones, so you should be able to arrange it quite easily, so that it costs you no more than a £1.00p.
Is there anywhere to park a bicycle for a week at Gatwick?
Arriving Gatwick airport by train 12 September. Normally I just walk up the steps and straight into departures, but this time I’ll have my bike as I have to ride to the station at Croydon (but can’t leave it there as I won’t be going back that way next week). Doesn’t need to be guarded, just a spot I can chain it up for a few days
You Could Get Off At Three Bridges and put your bike there as they have bike shelters, then get back on the train to gatwick as its only one stop away.

Is there anywhere near Liverpool Airport I could park free or cheap for 5 days?
To avoid the high charge for dropping people off at departures, the wise ones drop people off at arrivals. That should give you a clue about the parking arrangements at Liverpool airport.
Best go by bus or train, to right outside the airport doors , and have no worries.
Gatwick parking - how much should I expect to pay for 8 days?
Recently used Courtlands in May (£36.10), June (£42.90) and next week, for instance the cost would be £45.20. The price then goes up to £52.50 in August. Courtlands are the nearest off-airport park, about 400 yards to departures/arrivals, and have a transfer coach every 20 minutes. Can highly recommend them, but don’t book direct with them as it will cost about £7.80 per day. Instead book via holiday extras.com, who do a special advance purchase deal if you are booking for further ahead.
