All About Meet And Greet Parking Gatwick Airport, Low Stress And Good Value

By Carol Lamb


Gatwick Airport, about 28 miles to the south of central London, is the second largest airport serving the UK's capital city. London, Gatwick has two terminals and many international and domestic airlines operate from here. There are several Meet and Greet Parking Gatwick Airport operators providing services for travelers. These can provide a stress-free way to arrive at the airport. This short article surveys some of the car parking, and meet and greet services, provided by different operators.

London Gatwick Airport is just south of England's capital city. It can be easily reached by road, being connected to the M23 motorway, which runs south from London to Brighton, and to the M25, London's orbital motorway.

Gatwick, which is London's second airport (after Heathrow), is the base for several scheduled operators, including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Aer Lingus. Other airlines, including no-frills airlines EasyJet and Flybe, and charter companies Monarch, Thomas Cook Airlines, and Thomson Airways also operate out of Gatwick. The airport has two terminals, North and South, which are connected by a "monorail" service.

Travelers who are intending to arrive by car to catch their flight, can choose between the airport's own car parks, operated by BAA Gatwick, and various off-site car parks operated by independent companies, such as Airparks and ADS Parking. Internet users can use online price comparison websites to find the cheapest parking option.

Travelers can often save money by pre-booking their car parking rather than paying when they arrive. In fact paying on arrival can cost up to 60% more than pre-booking. Another advantage, if you pre-book, is that there is no chance of arriving and finding the car park is full. Pre-booked spaces are guaranteed.

Off-site car parking operators usually offer "meet and greet" services for travelers. These can be helpful for large parties, or if you have a lot of luggage, are traveling with young children, and for disabled and elderly travelers.

If the traveler chooses a meet and greet option from a company such as Airparks, then the operator will make arrangements for a driver to meet the traveler outside the terminal when they arrive to catch their flight. The driver will then take the passenger's car to the secure off-site Airparks parking amenity. This is convenient for the customer in two ways. Firstly he doesn't have to find the car park and find a space in it, and secondly if he doesn't have to travel with his luggage on the courtesy bus from the car park to the terminal.

The Airparks driver will also make arrangements to return the traveler's vehicle after the return flight. Passengers should remember to contact Airparks if their return travel plans change for any reason.
