We strongly recommend that you follow the directions above rather than using a sat nav or Google directions. We have found that some customers who have used Google directions have had trouble finding Airparks. If you're using a sat nav, you should enter the full address, not just the postcode, as the whole airport has the same postcode.
Transfer to airport
The transfer bus runs to both terminals every 20 minutes and takes just 10 minutes. Transfers run 24 hours a day and are included in the price.
Please note that the transfer bus doesn't run every 20 minutes between midnight and 3am, because the airport is closed. However, if your flight does arrive between these times, a bus will be sent to pick you up as normal.
Arrival procedure
Please check your booking confirmation for details.
Stay in the left lane - the barrier will lift automatically to let you in. Park your car in one of the arrivals bays and make a note of the lane number. Then make your way to reception.
You'll be asked to confirm your booking reference, and your car and flight details, so we advise, as always, bringing a copy of your booking confirmation with you. Then just put your car keys in the red box for your lane number. Airparks staff will park your car for you so you can catch the transfer bus to the airport. The bus leaves from reception and calls at both terminals.
If you're running late, don't panic. Airparks Gatwick can take you and your luggage straight to the terminal in your own car, which a member of staff will then drive back to the car park and park for you as normal. This service is called Late To Airport and costs £25.
We recommend that you give yourself 45 minutes to drop your car and keys off and transfer to the airport.
Departure procedure
If you're at the South terminal, turn left out of the terminal and wait at bus stop 7 or 8, about 25 yards from the exit.
If you're at the North terminal, turn right out of the terminal and follow signs for buses. Wait at bus stop 6 or 7.
When you get back to Airparks, you'll need to show your parking ticket at reception, and then you'll be able to collect your car. But if all you really want is to head home straightaway, book our Airparks Return Greet package and have your car brought to the terminal for you.

Additional information
We recommend that you give yourself 45 minutes to drop your car and keys off and transfer to the airport.
Bikes, surfboards, canoes and other large objects that won't fit into the luggage racks can't be carried on Airparks buses. If you are bringing large items with you, we suggest you drop them off at the airport before you park your car. Remember to check with your airline that you will be able to take them on the plane.
Airparks does not allow minibuses, high-sided vehicles, mobile homes, lorries, caravans or trailers, even if you book more than one space. If you are in any doubt, please call the provider.
If you park for more days than you booked, the car park will charge you for the extra days at its normal rate. If you stay for fewer days than you booked, unfortunately we can't give you a refund.
The car park has toilets with baby changing facilities, and a luggage weighing machine.

Return Greet Time Saver
