Afternoon All,

I need to leave my TVR at Gatwick for a few days in a secure car park that not going to rip my car to pieces when I drive it in and out.

I'll be going from the North Terminal, does anyone know what the best options are?

Thanks.

ive stuck all my sports cars at heathrow long stay, i expect gatwick to be no different..

most airport car parks are fine, just be a little careful where you park and you'll be fine.

We used the Summer Special onsite parking at Gatwick this year (company car admittedly). It's the type where you drop it off and they park it. When collecting mine I saw some nice/expensive stuff parked there including a rather nice looking 'Vette. While the regular cars were parked in normal bays the nice ones were put in bigger spaces from what I can see.

Cheers guys.

Going to avoid leaving my keys with someone else - too much worry on them driving straight into something!

Ibis Gatwick. The only place I have found and know of where you both park your car in a multistorey yourself, tucking it into a nice corner spot you are happy with AND keep your keys for the duration.

We used them again in July and 10 days parking was £82 including a nights stay, which we never used this time. Not much more than the summer specials parking only where not only are the transfers a ballache but your car is usually moved and parked in a sideroad in Crawley/East Grinstead until just before you return, as which point some oik in a hoodie will pick it up and thrash it back to the field.

Transfer is £3 on the coach or £7 in a taxi to north too.

I've used them 4 times now and have no intention of going anywhere else as long as their prices don't rocket.

Always use long stay at Gatwick, offsite but you park your car in a safeish end of row spot & away from the rest of the hoi-polloi. The coach takes you & your car keys to/from the airport for free.
