Purple Parking's Meet and Greet service is by far the easiest way to park; just drive to the terminal and one of their insured drivers will meet you, pick up your car and drive it to a secured car park. All you have to do is walk to check-in and catch your flight! What's more, when you return, they'll have it waiting for you at the Short Stay car park when you get back.
Security measures
While you're away, your car will be stored in a secured car park. All have been awarded the police Park Mark award, the Trading Standards Authority's Buy With Confidence award and are approved by Gatwick airport. All of the car parks are surrounded by a fence and are either manned 24 hours, have CCTV in use, or have dedicated 24 hour security patrols.

Instrucciones

Drive past the Sofitel Hotel and turn right immediately after the pedestrian traffic lights into the Sofitel Hotel Car Park. Follow the signs for Meet & Greet Reception, pass through the video booth and park in a dedicated Meet & Greet parking bay.

Head to the reception where you'll need to provide your booking confirmation and car keys, as well as your return flight information.

From there you can walk to the terminal in 3 minutes.
Maple Parking handles all bookings for Purple Parking at Gatwick Airport.

When you are 15 minutes away from the terminal, please call Purple Parking on 01293 300 730 and select option 1 to inform them that you are nearby so that a driver can be sent to meet you.

It's your responsibility to make sure that your vehicle's road tax is valid, it holds a valid MOT certificate and is roadworthy. If your car isn't legal or safe to drive, Purple Parking won't be able to drive it to the car park, and you also won't be able to get a refund.

If you have a specially adapted vehicle this will need to be checked with the car park. To see if Purple Parking can take your vehicle, call 0800 093 5478.

Early or late? The car park offers a grace period up to midnight at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £20 per day. This is subject to change.

Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles/no more than 7 seats) will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m).

All airport fees are included.
Transfers
No transfers are required. Once your car is picked up you proceed directly to check in.
