The Meet & Greet Parking specialists at Gatwick Airport
Gatwick Meet & Greet Parking
Meet & Greet parking at Gatwick offers the ultimate convenience for travellers who want to drive directly to the airport terminal and walk straight to check-in. With meet & greet (often called valet parking), a professional driver meets you at the terminal, takes your car, and parks it in a secure facility while you head into the airport. There are many meet & greet providers at Gatwick, some more reputable than others, but by booking through Gatwick Parking, you can rest assured you’re getting a legitimate service. We only partner with operators that hold Gatwick Airport’s Approved Operator status, meaning they’ve been vetted by the airport for quality and security.
Gatwick meet & greet parking is especially popular with families travelling with young children, passengers carrying heavy or lots of luggage, and those with reduced mobility. Business travellers also favour meet & greet because it saves time, you drop your car right at the terminal and avoid the hassle of off-site parking or shuttle buses entirely. A quick glance at the comparison table below will give you an overview of the meet & greet services we offer. Each service’s Park Mark status (a police-backed security award for car parks) and current price per week are shown, so you can easily compare options and find the best value.

When is the best time to book Gatwick meet and greet?
Gatwick meet & greet parking prices are dynamic and can fluctuate based on demand and availability. Typically, the closer you get to your departure date, the higher the price may be due to limited space. In fact, our data shows that booking around six months in advance could save you up to 60% compared to making your booking just a week before you travel. For example, a week of meet & greet parking might cost under £43 if booked half a year early, whereas the same week could be around £105 when booked a few days before departure. The lesson: if you want the lowest price, it pays to book your Gatwick parking as early as possible!

Meet & Greet: How it Works
Meet & Greet is a fantastic way to start your trip smoothly. To get your journey off to the perfect start, simply follow the steps below. Meet & greet parking at Gatwick is a huge time-saver and an ideal solution for both leisure and business travellers.
Illustration of how Gatwick meet & greet parking works, you drive straight to the terminal, hand over your car to be parked, and on return it’s brought back for you. For travellers new to this service, the process is straightforward. Here’s how a typical Gatwick meet & greet experience works from start to finish:
- Book in advance: Reserve your meet & greet parking online, choosing your travel dates, times, and the Gatwick terminal (North or South) for drop-off. You’ll receive a confirmation with detailed instructions for the day of your trip.
- Drive to the terminal: On the day of your flight, drive straight to the designated meet & greet drop-off point at your departure terminal. (Most operators will provide a specific meeting spot, usually right outside the terminal.) Many services ask that you call 20-30 minutes before you arrive to confirm your timing, so the driver is ready to meet you.
- Meet your driver: A uniformed, fully insured driver will be waiting for you at the terminal drop-off area. They’ll verify your booking details and do a quick inspection of your car before you hand over the keys.
- Walk straight to check-in: While the driver takes your car to a secure off-site car park, you’re free to walk directly into the terminal to check in and begin your journey. There’s no need for any shuttle bus, your car is being parked for you, saving you time and hassle.
- Return from your trip: When you land back at Gatwick, call the provided contact number (usually given on your receipt or booking confirmation) after you’ve collected your luggage. This lets the meet & greet team know you’re ready, so they can dispatch your driver with your car. (Many operators track your flight arrival time as well, to accommodate early or delayed flights.)
- Collect your car: The driver will bring your car back to the agreed meeting point at the terminal (often the same area as drop-off). Then you simply walk out of the terminal, meet your car and driver, and you’re all set to drive home. It’s that easy, no waiting for shuttles, no trekking across parking lots!
