Meet & Greet

Meet & Greet is the same as our Valet parking service described below.

Valet Parking

Why not treat yourself to this premium service and get your trip off to a good start. It takes less time to transfer from your car to the airport terminal than any other service. is ideal for people in a rush or who simply don’t want the hassle of finding a space in a car park and waiting for a bus transfer to the airport terminal.

Official Valet parking at south and north terminal

For the south terminal the official airport valet (meet & greet) reception area is on level 2 of the red short stay car park. It is important to prebook to get the best prices and availability. We’ll send you a booking confirmation, directions and map. You park in the short stay area and hand your keys in to reception. Same procedure as the south terminal except that you the reception area is on level 3 of the short stay car park at the north terminal. In both cases, a driver will then take your car to a secure car park and bring it back on your return. The secure car park has security fencing, cctv cameras, floodlighting and regular patrols by staff.

Airport approved – meet and greet

We offer some other valet parking companies that are airport approved. This means they have met the following requirements…

CRB & Police Criminal Record checks are carried on all staff on all staff before and during their employment.
Proof that security measures claimed exist and these measures have been inspected by local specialist police officer
Accreditation to trading standards “Buy with Confidence” scheme
Proof that all parking sites being used have correct planning consent
Proof that all drivers and the company are adequately insured
All staff wear uniform and carry photographic ID
The company is VAT registered

Most of these companies operate in the traditional meet and greet valet style parking, which is to wait for customers at the drop off point outside the terminal. Your car is quickly checked over for dents and scratches, then the driver takes your car to a secure off-airport car park.

Blue Badge Parking at Gatwick

There are two options for Blue Badge or disabled travellers driving and parking at Gatwick Airport.

All of the Gatwick car parking facilities are fully compliant with the Equalities Act.

Blue badge short-stay parking

If you only need to park for a few hours while dropping off or picking up someone then the short stay car park at Gatwick is the best option.

For same-level access to the terminals without the need to use lifts or stairs, we recommend that you use level 2 of car park 3 in the South Terminal and level 3 of car park 5 in the North Terminal.

Gatwick Airport provide Blue Badge bays in the short stay car parks of both the North and South terminals.

Blue Badge holders can park in the Premium parking area at the standard short term car park tariff (up to four hours).

To benefit from these facilities for Blue Badge holders, you will need to press the ‘assistance’ button at the entrance barrier to the Premium parking area and give your Blue Badge number.

Do not put your ticket into the machine at the barrier or you may be charged the standard Premium rate.

When you return to your car and leave the Premium area, use the ‘assistance’ button to advise the attendant.

Blue badge long stay parking

If you are staying for more than a few hours then you’re better off using the long stay car park where there are also marked Blue Badge bays.

All of these bays offer easy access and minimum distances to bus stops. Buses operate from the car parks to the terminal buildings every 12 minutes.

At the South Terminal, you can head straight inside the terminal to check-in which is on the same level as the bus drop off point.

At the North Terminal, you’ll need to use the lift to reach the check-in area of your airline, or the Special Assistance Reception.

If you need to take your Blue Badge abroad, you must first show it to the car park attendant before leaving your car – simply press the ‘assistance’ button at the entry barriers.

If you need assistance throughout your journey we recommend that you pre-book with your airline or travel agent at least 48 hours in advance. But if you haven’t done this the airport staff will do their best to help – just go to a help point with your flight details to hand.

Please note that normal parking charges apply in these car parks at Gatwick Airport.

Blue badge valet parking

If you are using Valet parking and you would like your vehicle to be parked in a blue badge bay upon your return to Gatwick, present your blue badge to the staff who are checking your vehicle in and they will make a record of your request and your vehicle will be parked in a blue badge bay or as close to the Valet office as possible.
