It can be very confusing to both find and book car parking space at the UK’s second busiest airport. Where can you go to get accurate parking price information? Do you need long term or short term parking? What is the difference between various car parks? I hope that this article addresses some of these common questions.

Gatwick is the UK’s second busiest airport and the sixth busiest in the world. Gatwick provides extensive parking facilities to support the 32 million passengers who use the airport each year.

When dropping people off or picking people up at the airport short term parking is what you need. This is also all you need for most short trips of only a few days. Multi-storey short term parking is available at both the North and South terminals.

You are warned not to leave your car unattended for any length of time in the forecourt areas outside the passenger terminals. If you do your car will be removed by the police and you will have to pay a release fee to get it back. If you need to leave your car unattended you should always park in the car parks provided.

If your trip lasts more than just a few days then Gatwick long term parking is recommended. There are numerous options to choose from when considering long term parking at Gatwick, which can be a little bewildering.

It is always worth taking a close look at the facilities provided by the various car parks around Gatwick airport. Most airport car parks provide excellent security facilities including fencing, security cameras and regular patrols. Some outstanding car parks have the ‘park mark’ safer parking award. All provide a free transfer bus service between the car park and the airport terminals.

If bus transfers to and from the airport terminal are too much hassle then meet and greet parking may be just what you need. This basically means that all you need do is drive directly to the appropriate terminal forecourt where you will be met by professional chauffeur. They will take your car and park it on your behalf in one of the secure long term car parks. When you return your car will have been retrieved from the car park by the chauffeur and be ready and waiting for you outside the airport terminal.

The benefits provided by meet and greet parking are that you don’t need to arrive at the airport very early as you don’t need to take a transfer bus from the car park and you will be on your way home as soon as you leave the airport terminal. You can even get your car cleaned by the valet service ready for your return.

To get the best Gatwick parking rate it is essential that you book in advance. Booking your car parking space well in advance will usually give you the best deal. The best way to check on prices and availability is to use an online price checking and comparison facility such as the one provided by Gosimply.com. This excellent website not only provides accurate and up to date parking prices and availability information it also provides honest and impartial customer reviews of various airport facilities, including airport hotels.

I am 30 years old and this all began when I was a young boy who had an admiration for animals. I used to pester my parents every week to take me down to the local zoo and farm. When we used to go I did love to bring a long my camera with me so that I could record all of the fascinating animals. Within a few years my bedroom wall was covered full of fascinating images.

When I went to college I continued to study art and photography, I decided not to go to university and instead got a job down the local sea life centre. The job I was in was outstanding, I was doing a job that I loved but somehow it did not feel like it was enough.

When I turned 25 I received the best gift ever from my parents, safari holidays were an up and coming trend, but to be honest I could have never afforded to go. Once I did receive my tickets I was very happy.

Once I arrived on my Kenya holidays I just felt that I belonged to be here. The feeling just grew more and more the more time I spent there. Personally I did not want to return back home, I mean the weather was better, the people were nicer and I could take advantage of my photography. So do you know what? I decided not to go back, I have now spent four great years in Kenya and although I do miss my family and friends there is no way that I would ever go back.

I was born to be part of nature and that is where I want to stay, I am also earning a great bit of money by selling on my wildlife photos, but not everything is about the money.
