Valet Parking at Gatwick

Hi All,

Apologies if this question has already been asked. How much do you normally pay for official valet parking at Gatwick. Think I've found a good price - just wanted to check with all of you lovely dibbers

Thanks in advance for all your replies.

Never go in August - the days of planning around school holidays is a distant memory.


We always book through the official LGW site though

Mick

The last time we flew from Gatwick we used the official valet parking. Came back to a car that they'd crashed while we were away. It wasn't a write-off so I could drive it home but getting it fixed under their insurance was an absolute nightmare and I had to change my phone number to get away from all those "so you've been in an accident" calls.

Yes, the car was, eventually, fully repaired but I won't use them again. Getting the train next time. It's costing about £80 more but at least there's no chance of them pranging my car again.

Oh no that's terrible - out of interest when did this happen...?

2014 so a while ago but you know what they say - once bitten, twice shy
