Overview
Gatwick I Love Park & Deliver combines the lower-cost approach of Park & Ride with a more convenient Meet & Greet-style return. At the start of your trip you drive to the I Love car park near Gatwick, leave your car and keys with the team and take the complimentary shuttle to either terminal. When you return, there is no bus journey back to the car park because your vehicle is brought to the terminal for collection.
That makes it an interesting middle ground if you want to keep the price closer to Park & Ride but would appreciate walking out of arrivals and collecting your car at the airport after your flight.
Why choose I Love Park & Deliver?
Meet & Greet-style return: your car is brought back to the terminal when you land, so you only need the shuttle on the outward journey.
Both terminals: the service can be used when flying from Gatwick North or South.
Short outward transfer: the parking site is only a few minutes from the terminals.
Staff park for you: hand over the keys rather than searching for a parking space yourself.
Useful compromise: it offers some of the convenience of Meet & Greet without requiring a terminal handover at the start of your trip.
How does I Love Park & Deliver compare with I Love Meet & Greet?
I Love Meet & Greet removes the shuttle completely: you hand the car over at the terminal on departure and collect it there again when you return. Park & Deliver requires you to drive to the parking site and take a short shuttle at the beginning of your trip, but your car is still brought back to the terminal on your return.
If the prices are close, Meet & Greet offers the greater convenience. Park & Deliver may be better value if you are happy to use a short transfer on the way out.
How does I Love Park & Deliver compare with Bubble Park & Deliver?
Bubble Park & Deliver uses the same basic idea and operates in partnership with the I Love parking operation. Both involve dropping the car at the parking site, taking a shuttle to Gatwick and having the vehicle brought to the terminal when you return.
Because the underlying experience is very similar, compare the live price, flexibility and booking conditions rather than assuming one product is automatically better.
How does I Love Park & Deliver compare with Gatwick Official Long Stay?
Official Long Stay is a conventional self-park service: you choose a space, keep your keys and take the shuttle in both directions. I Love Park & Deliver requires you to leave your keys, but the return is more convenient because the car is delivered back to the terminal.
Choose Long Stay if keeping your keys and leaving the car exactly where you parked it are priorities. Park & Deliver may suit you better if avoiding the return shuttle after your flight is worth more to you.

The only reason this company gets one star is because the initial drop off service was good. However, on our return journey to Gatwick a week later we discovered (too late to take it up with the driver) that our electric Nissan Leaf had 30 miles less on the battery than it did when we dropped it off. To save going into detail, the company have basically called me a liar because I didn't have the wherewithal to take a photo of the mileage when I dropped it off. There was 60+ miles on the battery when we dropped of our car which was sufficient for our 40 mile journey home plus any supposedly nearby parking which I was told could be anything up to a16 mile round trip, then only 8 miles because they only had it a week. As a result of the company doing goodness knows what to use up 30 miles worth of battery we had to stop off at Pease Pottage service station and charge up to the value of £5 (which would have been much cheaper at home) in order to get home, which made our return journey back longer and more stressful than it needed to be. I also agree with a previous reviewer about turning everything on/up - they shouldn't fiddle with settings. The ignorance of the person I telephoned and spoke to once we had driven away beggared belief - he said that the battery had probably dropped some charge because it had been standing for a week - the moron obviously knew nothing about electric cars and instead of keeping it zipped he came out with utter drivel, probably because he was talking to a woman and he thought I wouldn't know any different. This company may not drive your car for lots of miles as in some horror stories I've seen/read about in the media, and 30 miles probably wouldn't register much on a petrol/diesel car's fuel tank gauge, but in our case it made the difference of whether we could get home or not. The company have refused to accept any sort of responsibility and have accused me of blackmail because I said I was going to write as many bad reviews as I could. They told me that I was not going to be reporting facts because I had no proof of the mileage when I dropped the car off. Seriously?! When you have an electric car you ALWAYS make sure you have enough miles left on the battery for a return journey home and then some. So to be accused of lying about the mileage just adds insult to injury to the entirely already bad situation. As Purple Parking have them on their website I am, at the time of writing, hoping they will intervene on my behalf. All I want is to find out what exactly happened to my car whilst it was in their care and for them to pay the £5 we had to pay to charge it up - I might even ask them to pay for the two drinks and cakes we had too whilst we were waiting which cost us another £12! I Love Park and Deliver have not a clue what customer service is and judging by the overall bad reviews, I'm not the only one who thinks this.
