Our priority is to ensure that all our passengers and staff at the airport keep healthy and safe and follow the UK Government’s guidelines.

• Wear a face covering while travelling through Gatwick
• Maintain social distancing

You can make new bookings for Official Gatwick Parking with confidence as our flexible cancellation policy allows you cancel free of charge up to 24 hours prior to travel.

You can also view and amend your booking details quickly and conveniently in Manage Orders.

Please note, if your booking begins with 'LGW-DW', it was made on our old system, meaning some of the functions of the Manage my Booking portal are unavailable. You can still access your booking information and reprint the booking confirmation,  but if you need to make changes or cancel for any reason, you will need to call Customer Services on 0330 333 9268. They are open 8am to 6pm, seven days a week.

Our Short Stay car parks are located next to the terminals, providing quick and convenient direct access. There is no maximum stay duration and in addition to advance bookings the Short Stay North and South car parks remain open for drive-up customers who are intending to pick-up / drop-off travelling passengers. Note that although you are able to book South Terminal Short Stay parking, all flights are currently operating from North Terminal.

As part of our COVID-19 special measures, the main touch points within the car parks, including Lifts, Trolley bays and Payment machines, are sanitised at regular intervals. Please follow all directional signage to make sure your movement around the car parks are as safe as possible.

We would encourage our customers to make any payments by credit / debit cards at the exit barriers rather than to queue at payment machines.
