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.

I dont want to be parking at Gatwick tho. I want to park near it.
There are two types of parking at Gatwick: Long Term and Short Term.
When you arrive at Gatwick there are clear signs for the long term car park. However if you’re looking to save money you can shop around. The Simply Parking site below shops around for you and states the best price. All the out of airport long term sites have buses into the North & South Terminal. However prepare to add at least 30 minutes to your journey so you don’t miss the really long queues at check in.
Short Term? For either North or South Terminal follow the signs first to the terminal then to the short term car park. Only use this if you’re meeting someone or seeing them off. The costs are very high over a very short time period.
Dropping Off, you can literally set someone down, but just don’t think about staying there any longer than it takes to take the bags out of the car. You will be moved along very quickly, or worse given a ticket.
Bon Voyage!

What is the least expensive way to get from Heathrow to the Belsize Park tube station and how would I go?
There will be 2 adults with luggage (one bag and one carry on each) arriving at noon on a Saturday. Thanks so much for your help!
The cheapest way would be to take the tube (London Underground). You can get this direct from the airport terminal and travel on the Piccadilly line to Leicester Square, then change to the Northern line to Belsize Park. The journey would probably take up to a couple of hours allowing for changes.
The cost (maximum £4.00 per person) is a lot less than other options such as Heathrow Express or taxi, but you’d have to carry your luggage around, possibly up some stairs or escalators, and on a Saturday the tube is likely to be pretty crowded.
But it’s definitely the cheapest way and I’ve taken luggage on the tube in this way before, I’d rather save the money to enjoy myself at my destination!
How much will it cost to take a taxi from Heathrow Airport to Hyde Park in London?
We’re traveling there soon and are trying to decide if it’s cheaper to take a taxi or the Heathrow Express for four people. Thank you.
Why not just take the London Underground - The Piccadilly line runs from all terminals at Heathrow direct to Hyde Park - by far the cheapest and quickest way to do that journey. The trains are designed for people with luggage so that’s no problem.
