How Short Stay Parking at London Gatwick works

How Short Stay parking at Gatwick Airport Works video

Short stay parking is conveniently located at Gatwick Airport Terminals. Ideal if you are here for just a few hours and a great option for those looking for convenience. Perfect for dropping off or picking up passengers and for families with children or anyone with heavy luggage.

Arriving at the airport

Simply pull up to the barrier and wait for your vehicle’s number plate to be scanned. Once it has been scanned, drive straight on through to park in a bay. If the barrier fails to open, press the button at the gate for assistance.

Short Stay Parking at the North Terminal can be found at Car Park 5 and 6. For the South Terminal, it can be found in Car Parks 1, 2 and 3.

Getting to the terminal

Once you have parked, follow the signs directly to the terminal. It takes around four minutes to walk to the terminal.

All London Gatwick car park levels are fully accessible and compliant with the Equality Act 2010. However, for same-level access to the terminal, we recommend using the Premium Short Stay areas on Level 3 of Car Park 5 in North Terminal and Level 2 of Car Park 3 in South Terminal.

We have also partnered with AccessAble, the UK’s leading accessibility information provider, to create detailed access guides for our car parks. The guides cover information about blue badge parking, how to get assistance and the routes into our terminals.

Collecting your car from Short Stay

When you return from your trip, simply return to your car, proceed to the exit barrier, insert your ticket and the barrier will open.
