Travelrobe’s MD Mark Felix said in a statement that it’s not uncommon that friends and family can be a life saver providing free transportation to the airport, but it’s the uncertainty of whether or not they can rely on the same service on their return which makes parking at the airport a necessity and quite convenient.

When comparing the cost of parking at Gatwick Airport Travelrobe is suggesting these ideas that are cheaper and convenient and the cost associated with them, for starters, Travelrobe recommends off airport parking which would cost much less than parking directly on the airport and the transfer to the airport is usually 10 - 15 minutes.

A two week Gatwick parking at Summer Special which was used for this study cost £78.40 the transfer to the airport is 7 – 10 minutes and the car park operates 24/7 to verify these prices visit www.travelrobe.co.uk prices may have changed by the time of this research, other options are available.

A Second car park was also used for this study and the cost was £89.85 with the same 24/7 service and both were Safer Parking Award recipients. To verify these prices visit http://www.travelrobe.co.uk prices may have changed by the time of this research, other options and car parks are available.

Booking a Gatwick Airport Parking in advance will generate even bigger savings than a last minute booking and there is also another option for customers traveling on very early flights which is a real convenience and that is to book a Hotel with parking.

The cost for this option would be a little more expensive but the convenience is worth the cost and using the same family of four with an overnight stay and two weeks parking cost £172.75 at the Best Western in Gatwick.

The hotel option works well for families traveling long distances to get to the airport and if spending is not a major concern because of the convenience offered then it’s possible to book a hotel on return from a long haul flight to relax before the long journey home.
