    5 Stars Car Parking for the Confused 09/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easier than a taxi/bus

    Disadvantages Disadvantages could work out expensive, handing over your car keys to strangers

    So as previously mentioned I recently flew to Scotland from Gatwick airport, living where I do I didn't want to be trying to get a train as getting to a train station is tricky and I don't want to be using taxis given how much it can cost to travel 80 miles even when one is prebooked. So knowing I was flying from Gatwick I used the Gatwick airport website to compare the prices of the nearby carparks, it came up with Park Plus as the cheapest by quite a considerable amount for the time period I was looking at. With a 4am drop off on Friday morning and 4pm latest pick up time on Sunday it cost ... more

    4 Stars Airparks Car Parks Gatwick Airport 20/11/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Affordable and Reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Once got date of return wrong, but were resolved this quickly

    Airparks is a company that runs a long term car parking facility at Gatwick Airport. I have used them on 3 different occasions when going on holiday. I usually prefer to use public transport to and from the airport but when the flight returns quite late I like to drive back. To book visit their website (www.airparks.co.uk), select the dates that you are looking to park for and they will quote a price. For 6 days this is in the region of £27 or £4.50 per day, so is not too bad. They are listed on several cashback sites, such as quidco and topcashback, so you can get around 10% of this back. You ... more

    5 Stars Gatwick Airport Car Parking: Review of Ace Parking 01/11/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Chauffer is waiting for you felt 1st class

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    4 weeks ago we decided to book a break to Glasgow. I was recommended by a friend to look for a company called Ace Meet and Greet at Gatwick Airport, on finding a site that advertised Ace I entered my details but on the results I couldn't see Ace any where. I decided to find them directly There website is called www.ace-parking-gatwick.co.uk and on talking to a very friendly lady, she informed me that the large websites charge a big commission to them to give them bookings. They have decided to let the customers come direct and get a better deal. I personally paid £45 for 1 weeks parking. These ... more

    5 Stars APH parking for Gatwick Airport 22/07/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great value and convenience

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    Before my recent holiday to Majorca we wondered on the best way to get to Gatwick from Southampton. The cheapest quote we could get for a return taxi was around £90. Due to the times of our flights it was difficult to arrange a lift with either family or friends and after checking various other option including trains and national express we found a website for off-airport parking at APH parking, Copthorne. We got an online quote which was £37.10 plus VAT for 8 days parking. You receive an email to act as you receipt for the parking. We left for the airport at a time that suited us, we stopped ... more

    1 Star APH Gatwick 22/06/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Car can get damaged and driven more than anticipated

    After handing in my keys to APH Gatwick, when I returned to collect the car (which I used to go to the airport with) from APH car parking at Gatwick airport, (a) the battery was "completely" flat, (b) I found out that it had been driven 6 miles unbeknownst to me, (even though it says on APH terms and conditions 4.5 "at its premises at one of its parking sites" (i.e. they do not mention that their other parking site is a whole 3 miles away, meaning it was driven on the road while I was under the impression that it would be moved within its premises and not being driven on the public road, and ... more

    5 Stars Ace Meet and Greet - Ace by name, Ace by nature 21/10/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy drop off and collection, no transfer buses

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Changed radio channel

    On looking for parking at Gatwick for a week in October, I discovered Ace Meet and Greet on the Essential:Travel website. Although this was not the cheapest parking option, the attraction was that we could drop the car off at the airport terminal, and collect it there on our return. The price for the week was £62, around £14 more than the cheapest option, which would have required a 20 minute bus journey at either end. The booking confirmation gave a mobile telephone number that I rang when we were about 20 minutes from Gatwick (still on the M25 approaching the junction for the M23), and on ... more

    1 Star Ace Meet & Greet 31/01/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Convenient

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can't be trusted.

    Have now repaired car Ace Meet & Greet Gatwick. Avoid this company if you don't want to risk being ripped off and lied to by a company you give business to. Paid for my car to be looked after by Ace Parking Meet and Greet Service. When I went to collect it their driver drove it right by me and parked way forward in a badly lit area - this was at night. Should have twigged something was wrong. He asked me to sign for it, shiftily shoved the keys in my hand and made a sharp exit. Off I went and next morning realised why all the cloak and dagger stuff. A massive scrape right down the passenger ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of Gatwick Airport Parking by wilks77 06/07/2007
    When we park at gatwick we go with Sky Park Secure.If you haven't heard of this company you should defo check them out as they have a lot going for them. They provide a consistently good level of service and are always happy to help you and make sure that you arrive at the airport on time and with the minimum amount of fuss. They offer much better value for money than the long-stay parking at Gatwick airport especially if you are staying for longer periods of time. Recently they have been offering discounts with the code "dis024" so have a ... more

    5 Stars Park and fly..... 27/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Takes stress out of flying

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Driving yourself to and from the airport

    At first,it seems expensive, but when you look at taxi prices, train faresetc, parking your car at the airport really makes sense. But then, I only live in Brighton, which is not far from Gatwick. A really long drive may warrant a taxi after a tiring flight, but then the expense has to be taken into account. Personally, I would recommend resting for at least a couple of hours, unless you can get a really good sleep before leaving, and taking a leisurely drive to the airport. At least you know the car is ok! I left my mother in law the car keys last time we went away, and when we came home ... more

    5 Stars Compare Gatwick Parking 21/11/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Simple booking and good choice of car parks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No same day bookings?

    I managed to get a cheap flight with easyjet recently, so I didn;t want to end up paying over the odds for a parking space at the Gatwick. I can recommend www.simplyparking.co.uk who compare about 20 gatwick airport car parks in a simple one page results table. Each car park is also matched against a main wholesaler, which goes to show you can get the same car park for less depending on who you choose to book with! The other thing i really liked was that there are car park reviews so you can see what other people though of the facility. In my case i choose cophall farm and only paid £30 for a ... more
