I was happy to pay £8 more to be close to the airport terminals and not run the risk of delays in thebus transfer. We waited less than 2 minutes for the Long Stay buses which were very efficient. I will use again despite higher price.
Asked a member a Long Stay South Staff for guidance before entering car park, his help was the start of a no worries parking experience. Parked my car and got a bus within minutes!! No problems on returning either!! I would definately recommend this car park to friends.
Other than having trouble finding the car which was covered in frost,all went well. The only hic up we had was entirely our fault.We got on the wrong bus and went to North Terminal. It would be a help if the driver called out before he set off where he was going.
We have used your service before and find it excellent in every way. Parking on site makes the whole process much more practical.
This was a care free experience because the process is so effecient and the parking station so well organised.
It was easy to find parking was easy bus at bus stop olny took 2 mins to airport fantastic will use in future on return bus in one min great service
Simple clear web instructions - I altered the vehicle after booking - this presented no problems and checked out on return with the cashier.
The price is fantastic and the service is second to none for Gatwick. I've used this carpark about 8 times now and have been impressed everytime. I've used others at Gatwick and none of them can compare in price or service.
When we need to arrive on a snowy winters day at 4 in the morning, it's really welcome that it is reasonably easy to find a space, the bays are lettered and numbered for easy return and the bus is there. We appreciated the electronic check in and out
Book online in advance to save you money. Parking staff very helpful and efficient. Less than 50m walking with your luggage from car to arrivals takes the hassle out of traveling.
Information about checking out was not clear. I assumed the ticket would allow me to exit via the barrier as it was prepaid. I need to check out via the office
Our flight changed to leave from the North Terminal rather than the South, so I was very dissapointed that we could not change the parking to North Terminal for ease of transfer. Your Transfer to the South Terminal was fine, it was a pain to change again to the North.
someone had carelessly banged the wing mirror, cars crammed into spaces, a little more room would be appreciated.
I have used this car park many many times over the last 20 years and have always found it to be excellent, the main thing i DO NOT like about many of the other car parks is that they require your car keys, this one does not do this
We arrived in heavy snow but the car park was still open and buses were running as normal. The digital sign indicating how long till the next bus was very welcome considering how cold it was! Transfer to the terminal was quick and although we were in the last zone for drop-off, the return journey was simple. All in all a very slick operation and good value for money.
Would highly recomend it. I usually travel to the airport by public transport, but, it did not run the time I needed so check our car parking. It worked out cheaper than two train tickets with a fraction of the hassle - will definitely use it again
Only thing which bothered me is that the snow hasnt been ploughed on the parking spaces.
I can not write a review for Mr Dockrell as he passed away whilst awway....but would like to say the parking cost is fair when pre-booked but if the break is cut short there is no information on refunding. regards Mrs Dockrell
Card system worked well but the snow and ice at 02:30am was not so good but beyond your control!
Excellent rate for parking. Flight delayed on return - no extra charge as departure day had been calculated into cost. Will recommend.
