I'm driving my car to Gatwick when I go to Pamp and leaving it there(obviously),does anyone know the best or cheapest way to do this,are there any good deals available on this sort of thing.
just search for Gatwick Parking on your search engine. There are car parks off the airport site which are obviously cheaper or you can pre book with NCP ( I think ) and get a cheaper deal.
I have also heard that you can stay the night at a hotel near Gatwick and leave your car at the Hotel for about the same price as a weeks parking at the airport. Handy if you have a way to travel.
Nick, we also leave our car at Gatwick, but we utilise the services of "chauffeured parking". You pre-book it, phone them as you hit the last bit of motorway before airport (can't remember name) and drive your car to drop-off point. By the time you get there there is someone waiting to pick up your car for you and drive it away to some car park somewhere. When you come back, you phone them as you clear customs, go to pick up area and your car is delivered back to you.

This service is brilliant, particularly if you have kids, suitcases, boot bags, skis etc............... as you only unload / load your car once, and you don't have to wait for little coaches to transfer you from car park to airport.
The down side - about £20 extra! But we think it is WELL worth it!!!!!
You can always splurge and stay at the Hilton which is linked to South Terminal £165 for room for 1 night plus 14 days parking. Or the Russ hill is 10 mins away for around £90. I prefer the Hilton
