Gatwick parking

Hi

In the past, I've booked a parking package with the Hilton for the annual trip to the West Coast and Vegas in August

However, as I'm away for 27 days this year, their 16 day parking package leaves me with a further 11 days at £20 per day, which is a bit pricey

I've also used Purple Parking Meet & Greet which was excellent but that's coming in at over £300 at today's price

Best Meet and Greet Gatwick is offering 27 days for £178 - but I've never heard of them

Can anyone vouch for them?

I could just wait and hope that Purple's rate comes down closer to departure

Cheers
Rich

A quick Google and I wouldn't trust them to park a supermarket trolley.

Wow, those are some seriously big prices - for that sort of money you can have the 'Official' Gatwick Airport Valet Parking South where you just drive in to the regular airport parking .... e.g. 1/8 08:00 - 28/8 11:00 comes in at £193.50 with absolutely no stress / worry at all! North Valet usually a few quid cheaper than South if you're flying out from there.

Have you tried aph.com/offers. I find they are rarely beaten. APH themselves offer a great service, but you can also book other car parks/services through them

If you search the MoneysavingExpert site, there are some discounted links to all the agents who resell Gatwick parking. We saved a bit more booking through their link.

We always use the official Gatwick Valet parking now. It's so easy to drive to the short stay (red) car park and you're onsite already. Pick up is just as easy, saves waiting for transfer buses etc. when all you want to do is get home.

Plenty of 10% discount codes available which should bring the price down to around £170

Be careful about choice of provider

Used them about 2 weeks ago, and have used them before, with no problems at all. I think all of the parking ones have some sort of history if you were to delve deep enough.

Edited to say: No I didn't, I used "Meet and Greet".....so ignore the above, I missed "Best" the first time around.

The one thing I will say is that I have noticed that the meet and greet prices seem to have taken a jump of late - and quite a large one at that.
