Long Stay Parking - South Terminal

£38 per day buys you the official South Terminal long stay lot with a predictable 10‑minute shuttle each way.

This is Gatwick’s on‑airport long stay option for South Terminal flights, so you park on airport land and ride a dedicated shuttle instead of using third‑party minibuses. The bus typically takes 10 minutes, with Gatwick listing 10–12 minutes to the South Terminal depending on traffic and stop patterns.

Pricing is straightforward for longer trips: about £38 per day, or £224 for a 7‑day stay if you prebook online. It’s set up for people leaving the car for several days or more; short weekend trips often price better at other products, but this one is about predictability and being inside the official Gatwick setup.

The shuttle drops you close to South Terminal check‑in, so once you get off the bus you’re just dealing with the usual security queues. Buses run frequently in both directions, and your transfer time is the same on the way back to the car park: plan on 10–12 minutes from the terminal to your row.

This is surface parking, not a multi‑storey, so you keep your own keys and park your own car in a standard marked bay. That means no key hand‑off, no off‑site compounds, and less faff at 05:30 when you just want to lock the car and get on the bus.

• Tip: On departure day, back-time your arrival so you’re parked and at the shuttle stop at least 30 minutes before check‑in closes; the 10–12 minute bus plus walking inside South Terminal eats clock fast.
