For the sake of £13 I would prefer the comfort of knowing onsite, insured drivers (not part time temps?), next to terminal, no rush, undercover, etc.

Not sure about drop at one and collect at another. Call them and ask the question.

I'm not aware that you can drop off/collect at different terminal car parks but since they are both linked by a two minute monorail ride it's no issue getting between the two.

Because we're both 70+ and always fly PE we always return with two 23kg cases each. We find it much easier walking back to the car wheeling our cases to the car (which is often on the same level as arrivals) rather than struggling with them on the shuttle bus to the further surface car park.

So we often fly BA from the south but stay at the PI on north and therefore park at south. Or conversely fly VS from north and stay at the Hilton on south but park at north. Both just a short monorail trip.

The only other question I have is whether there is a "best time" to book? Does it tend to be cheaper further in advance, or is it worth holding out for a special offer? Thanks

I have booked Maple Parking following Tom Morrow's positive feedback of them from his many trips. Got a discount code that someone posted on here that made the price very competetive.

I found Holiday Extras cheapest £88 for just over two weeks. I used the link on moneysavingexpert.com's airport parking article... worked out cheaper than both Mygatwick and holiday extras 10% code they sent me for meet and greet.

I get emails from FHR, Purple Parking, BCP, Holiday Extras etc with discount codes every week or so.

Every time I've booked the last few years I've found the best deals for Meet and Greet on the FHR website, with the email discount.

I've used quite a few different companies over the years at Gatwick and luckily not had a problem with any of them. I do make sure that they are official Gatwick ParkMark approved though (think FHR only advertise ParkMark approved).

The official Gatwick one is really good, we tried drive fly in December and i wouldn't use them again. They were disorganised, rude and disconnected our dash cam.
