What is the cheapest South Terminal deal we offer?

Our cheapest Gatwick South Terminal deal is AVPS Park & Ride at £68.63 for 8 days (£8.58/day), which you can book with us. It is an off-airport fenced compound about 2 miles out with a 10-15 minute shuttle. The official Long Stay is £79.20.

Off-airport Park & Ride undercuts the official on-airport rates at the South Terminal. Gatwick Short Stay turn-up reaches £70 for 24 hours, so an 8-day turn-up runs far above £68.63 pre-booked with us. As the UK's second-busiest airport, Gatwick uses pricing algorithms that raise rates as spaces fill, so book weeks ahead for the lowest rate, with free cancellation up to 72 hours before arrival.

Where is the South Terminal at Gatwick?

Gatwick's South Terminal is one of two separate departure buildings and home to the Gatwick Express rail station, reached via the M23 Junction 9, postcode RH6 0NP. The free monorail links it to the North Terminal in 2-3 minutes.

Gatwick operates two separate terminals about 1.2 kilometres apart, connected by a 24/7 automated monorail. The South Terminal contains the railway station and has its own Short Stay car parks, the exclusive Mid Stay, and a Long Stay compound, reached from the M23 Junction 9 following the South Terminal signs to postcode RH6 0NP. Confirm your e-ticket says South Terminal before booking parking with us.

What is Mid Stay parking at the South Terminal?

Mid Stay is exclusive to Gatwick's South Terminal, an intermediate self-park option about 400 metres from the departure hall, a 5-6 minute walk with no shuttle. It costs £92.70 for 8 days with keys retained, ideal for 3-5 day city breaks.

Mid Stay is a South Terminal speciality not available at the North Terminal, sitting between Short Stay and Long Stay on both price and distance. At roughly 400 metres and a 5-6 minute walk, it removes the shuttle entirely while costing less than Short Stay, making it a strong pick for short breaks. The entry barrier uses ANPR, and you keep your keys. Book Mid Stay with us, with BCP30 applied and free cancellation included.

Which official car parks serve the South Terminal?

The South Terminal has Short Stay (Car Parks 1-3, 3-4 min walk), exclusive Mid Stay (5-6 min walk), Long Stay (shuttle, about 1 mile) and Valet. Short Stay is closest with keys retained; Long Stay is the best on-airport value.

Short Stay uses Car Parks 1, 2 and 3, multi-storey structures next to the terminal with a 3-4 minute covered walk and height limits around 1.8-2.0 metres. Mid Stay, South Terminal only, is a 5-6 minute walk with no shuttle. Long Stay is about 1 mile out with a free 10-12 minute shuttle, the value choice for longer holidays. Valet takes your keys at the terminal. Book any official South Terminal product with us and apply BCP30.

Which off-airport South Terminal deals do we offer?

We have off-airport South Terminal deals including AVPS, Cophall, APH and Purple Parking, all Park Mark secure with shuttles serving both terminals. Our AVPS deal is cheapest at £68.63 for 8 days, with a 10-15 minute transfer.

AVPS runs a fully fenced compound about 2 miles out with a reliable 10-15 minute shuttle and continuous CCTV. Cophall is a family-run Park Mark operator with competitive long-trip rates. APH sits off the M23 at Copthorne with award-winning service. Purple Parking runs a large secure compound about 3.5 miles out, roughly a 15-minute shuttle to the South Terminal. All are bookable with us with BCP30 applied.

Which South Terminal car parks let you keep your keys?

You keep your keys at Gatwick South Terminal in the official Short Stay (Car Parks 1-3), Mid Stay and Long Stay. You hand keys over for the official Valet and off-airport Meet & Greet services. Some off-airport Park & Ride compounds also hold keys to move cars.

The official self-park options at the South Terminal, Short Stay, Mid Stay and Long Stay, are all keep-keys, suiting drivers who prefer no one else handles their vehicle. The Valet and off-airport Meet & Greet services take the keys to park for you. Some off-airport Park & Ride operators retain keys to manage space, so check each listing's keep-keys status in the table. Every option is bookable with us, with Gatwick using ANPR throughout.

How much is the drop-off charge at the South Terminal?

Gatwick charges about £10 for up to 10 minutes on the South Terminal forecourt, then £1 per minute to a 30-minute, £30 maximum, paid online via Gatwick Postpay by midnight the next day. To drop off free, use the Long Stay car park's 2-hour free window and the shuttle.

The South Terminal forecourt uses ANPR cameras with no barriers, so you must pay the £10 online via Gatwick Postpay or AutoPay afterwards, missing the deadline risks a PCN. The free alternative is the Long Stay car park, which gives 2 hours of free drop-off before charges apply, with the shuttle to the terminal. For pick-ups, wait legally in Short Stay Car Park 3, Ground Floor, rather than the forecourt.

Does the South Terminal have a train station?

Yes. Gatwick's railway station is within the South Terminal, with the Gatwick Express to London Victoria every 15 minutes in about 30 minutes, plus Southern and Thameslink services. For drivers, our South Terminal deals start at £68.63 for 8 days.

The South Terminal houses Gatwick's main rail hub, a genuine advantage for this terminal. The non-stop Gatwick Express reaches London Victoria in about 30 minutes with trains every 15 minutes, while Southern and Thameslink link London Bridge, St Pancras, Brighton and the south coast. North Terminal passengers reach the station via the free monorail. If you would rather drive, every South Terminal car park we list is bookable in advance with BCP30 applied.

Does the South Terminal have a connected hotel?

Yes. The Hilton London Gatwick connects directly to the South Terminal, and the Bloc Hotel operates within the South Terminal building itself. Both are ideal for early flights. Our Stay, Park & Fly packages pair these with secure parking in one booking.

The Hilton London Gatwick links directly into the South Terminal, while the Bloc Hotel is actually inside the South Terminal building, about as close as a pre-flight stay gets. Nearby, properties like the Premier Inn and Holiday Inn offer budget Park & Fly deals with short transfers. A Stay, Park & Fly package removes early-morning M23 traffic before a dawn flight. Compare our hotel-and-parking packages through the Hotel + Parking tab in the search above.
