When you drive to Gatwick airport, you can rest assured that you have made the right decision. All too many times, people say that you shouldn’t drive to an airport for an assortment of reasons; many of which are just invalid. Take, for example, the idea that if you drive then you will have to pay a fortune to park the car. This couldn’t be further from the truth at the South Terminal, where it can cost as little as £1 per hour if you stay for the week. If you were to be offered that rate in any of the city car parks then there is no way that you would turn it down, yet when it comes to the airport car park it is suddenly too expensive.

Similarly, if you drive then you drastically reduce the chance of arriving late for the flight. If you are travelling by a train then you are essentially restricted to the line. If anything happens, whether that be a crash or anything else likely to cause a delay then there is nothing you can do; you just have to accept the delay. When you have to catch a series of trains (as is necessary when you travel to Gatwick) then any delay can play havoc with your trip which will mean you turn up late. Choose to park at the South Terminal and this risk disappears. You are in complete control of your journey which means that there is no risk of delay; you have the ability to change your route!
