LGW · London Gatwick Airport
Every car park the parking sites I work with sell at Gatwick, with how each works on the day, whether it's open when you land, and the full price for your dates where a site tells me one.
Choose your dates and I'll line up each car park's price for that stay. Commission never changes the order. How I rank these

The airport's own parking
London Gatwick Airport sells its own car parks on its website, which I don't list here.
Gatwick runs its own valet parking at both terminals, and publishes a list of off-airport firms in its approved operators scheme.
Gatwick warns that passengers are caught out by rogue parking firms every year, and lists the operators it approves. Its advice
A driver meets you at the terminal, takes your car to their car park and brings it back when you land.
You drive to a car park near the airport and a shuttle bus (or a train) takes you to the terminal.
The airport's own car parks: you park and walk, or take the airport's bus, to the terminal.
Meet and greet is the easiest way to park, and most firms are fine. But rogue operators are a known problem at the big airports, so it's worth five minutes' checking before you hand over your keys.
Cheapest first: by each site's price for your dates where it gives me one, then by the most recent price I've seen for a day's parking, then by name. You can sort by the quickest to the terminal instead, where meet and greet comes first.
Every link to a parking site is an ad: if you book, the site may pay me commission. Commission never changes which car parks I list or their order.
I can only list parking sites whose listings reach me through affiliate networks, so every site here can pay me (Compare Parking Prices, Airparks, JustPark, Park BCP). That isn't every car park at Gatwick: the airport sells its own on its website.
Prices change by the hour. The price on the site when you book is the one you pay, so check what it includes, such as cancellation cover or a booking fee, before you pay.

Yes. Long Stay car parks: two hours free, with a free shuttle bus to the terminals.
With meet and greet, a driver takes your car at the terminal and brings it back when you land, so there's no bus, but you hand over your keys and your car is driven to their car park. With park and ride you drive to a car park near the airport yourself and take a shuttle bus to the terminal; it's usually cheaper and takes longer.
