Maple Manor Parking

Meet-and-greet at Gatwick without official valet prices

Maple Manor Parking at London Gatwick (LGW) runs as an off-airport operation but works like a meet-and-greet: you hand over your keys at the terminal, and their team moves the car to a secured off-site lot. The draw is simple: you keep the terminal-side drop-off convenience at North or South Terminal while usually paying less than Gatwick’s own valet products for multi-day stays.

The walk is effectively 1 minute because you’re dropping the car in the terminal forecourt or short-stay area, then heading straight into departures. That compares well with park-and-ride setups that add 10–20 minutes of bus time each way. If you hate waiting for shuttles with bags and kids, this is the time saver at LGW.

Maple Manor is classed as off-airport parking, so your car is stored away from the North and South terminal buildings while you fly. The team drives it to their external compound after collection and brings it back for your return. Plan on adding 10–15 minutes when you land to call them (per their instructions) and walk back to the agreed meeting point in the short-stay or forecourt area.

Prices are dynamic and usually cheaper than official Gatwick valet once you cross into multi-day territory; check your exact dates, but many travellers see the value kick in around 3–4 days compared with premium on-airport options. You still avoid the extra £3–£8 per-person shuttle hit that some off-site car parks add when you factor in bus transfers.

Tip: screenshot or print Maple Manor’s meeting instructions for North or South Terminal before you drive, including the exact drop-off zone name and contact number, so you’re not scrolling through emails at the barrier with cars behind you.
