What is a Gatwick Stay, Park & Fly package?
A Gatwick Stay, Park & Fly package combines an overnight hotel stay near the airport with secure parking for your whole trip. You sleep minutes from the terminal before an early flight and leave your car parked while away, often only slightly more than parking alone.
Stay, Park & Fly is the smart choice for early departures from Gatwick and long drives to the airport. Instead of setting off before dawn, you travel the day before, stay overnight close to the terminal, and leave your car parked for the duration of your holiday. The combined package frequently costs only a little more than parking by itself, with the hotel night effectively a bonus. We offer these packages at Gatwick with promo code BCP30 applied to the parking, no booking fee and free cancellation up to 72 hours before arrival.
Which Gatwick hotels connect to the terminal?
At Gatwick, the Sofitel connects to the North Terminal by a covered walkway, the Hilton connects to the South Terminal, and the Bloc Hotel sits inside the South Terminal building itself. Each offers seamless access for early flights.
Terminal-connected hotels offer the ultimate early-flight convenience, letting you walk from your room to check-in in minutes. The table below lists the main hotels at Gatwick with parking packages, showing how each connects to the terminal. Gatwick connected hotels are terminal-specific, but the free monorail links the two terminals in 2-3 minutes.

Is a Gatwick hotel with parking cheaper than parking alone?
A combined Gatwick room-and-parking package is often only slightly more than parking alone, making the hotel night excellent value before an early flight. It removes the pre-dawn M23 drive and the stress of arriving late.
Because hotels and car parks bundle their rates, the gap between parking on its own and a full Stay, Park & Fly package is usually small. For an early or long-haul Gatwick departure, that modest extra buys a proper night's sleep, breakfast and a relaxed start, while your car stays parked for the whole trip. It is particularly worthwhile for families and anyone facing a long drive to Gatwick. Apply BCP30 to take up to 30% off the parking element of your package. When you add up the cost of a separate hotel and parking booked independently, the bundled package almost always works out cheaper, and you gain the convenience of a single confirmation covering both your room and your car for the entire trip.
How does Gatwick hotel parking work?
You book a Gatwick Stay, Park & Fly package, stay the night before your flight, then leave your car either at the hotel or in a nearby secure car park for your trip. Some hotels include on-site parking; others use a Park Mark compound with a shuttle.
The mechanics are straightforward. After booking with us, your confirmation sets out where to check in and where your car will be kept. At connected and on-site hotels you simply park and walk to the terminal the next morning, or take a short shuttle. At hotels using an associated compound, you leave the car there and ride the shuttle. Either way, the car stays put for the whole holiday. The exact arrangement is shown on each package before you pay, with no booking fee. Many travellers find this combination removes the single biggest source of pre-flight stress, the early-morning drive, replacing it with a short, calm journey from the hotel to the terminal on the day of the flight. It is especially valuable for families with young children, who benefit from a settled night close to the airport rather than a rushed start in the dark.
Can I leave my car at the Gatwick hotel while I fly?
Yes. With most Gatwick Stay, Park & Fly packages your car stays parked for the full duration of your holiday, either on-site at the hotel or in an associated secure car park, not just for the overnight stay. Always check the package details.
This is the core benefit of Stay, Park & Fly: the parking covers your entire trip, not only the night you stay. The hotel either keeps your car in its own secure car park or partners with a nearby Park Mark compound, with a shuttle to the terminal. A small number of packages are room-only with separate parking, so we always state what is included on the listing. Choose a full package to leave the car the whole time, with BCP30 applied and free cancellation included. This is what sets a true Stay, Park & Fly deal apart from a simple overnight hotel booking, the parking is bundled in for your entire holiday, so there is nothing more to arrange and no second car park to find when you return tired from your trip.
Which Gatwick hotel with parking should I choose?
For a Gatwick flight, choose the Sofitel for the North Terminal, or the Hilton or Bloc for the South Terminal; the Premier Inn and Holiday Inn offer budget Park & Fly. The free monorail links both terminals in 2-3 minutes.
The right choice depends on your priorities and budget. A terminal-connected hotel offers the shortest, most seamless walk to check-in, ideal for very early or long-haul flights. Budget Park & Fly brands a short shuttle away cost less while still bundling parking for the whole trip. Consider how early your flight is, whether you want breakfast included, and how far you are driving to Gatwick. Compare the options in the table and book the package that fits, with BCP30 applied at checkout.
Is Gatwick hotel parking secure?
Yes. We pair Gatwick hotel stays with Park Mark approved parking, the police-assessed security standard, using CCTV, fencing and monitoring. Connected and on-site hotel car parks are covered by the hotel's own security. Each package lists where your car is kept.
Security is built into every Gatwick Stay, Park & Fly package we offer. Where parking uses an off-site compound, that operator holds the Park Mark award, with floodlighting, perimeter fencing, CCTV and patrols. Where the car stays at the hotel, it benefits from the hotel's own monitored car park and staff presence. The listing tells you exactly where your vehicle will be and how it is protected, so you can travel with peace of mind, BCP30 applied and free cancellation up to 72 hours before arrival. Knowing both your room and your vehicle are secured to recognised standards lets you focus on your journey rather than worrying about your car for the days or weeks you are away.
