Drop-off and pick-up

You can drop-off passengers in the designated areas on the terminal forecourts. However, for security reasons there is a strict no-waiting policy on the forecourt. If you want to come into the terminals you must use one of the short stay car parks.

If you are picking passengers up, you must use a short stay car park.

Car Park 3 (South Terminal) operates a special tariff of 15 minutes' for £1.

Car parking

Both short stay car parks are signposted from roads into Gatwick, and are a short walk from the terminals.

Valet parking operates from Short Stay car park 2, level 2 in South Terminal, and Short Stay car park 5, level 3 in North Terminal.
