The problem with Gatwick airport is that it is not one of the most accessible airports that you are likely to find. Of course, by road it is very straightforward but if you are like one of the thousands who decide to catch a train there then you will have your work cut out. Getting a train to Gatwick airport is very difficult and, above all, expensive. The reason for this is that you have to get a train into one of the large London stations before you can transfer to a train that’ll take you to the airport. Whenever you are travelling into London, the price will increase dramatically because you get caught up in the mass of people who want to go on holiday to one of the most popular cities in the world; not a good idea. It is very complicated if you are coming in from south of London, because you will have to navigate your way around the London tube system which is bad enough at the best of times; let alone when you are rushing to catch a flight! Travelling by train is definitely not the way to go if you are going to Gatwick.

Instead, drive to the airport and park your car in one of the car parks. This is much cheaper than many people expect with it only amounting to around £1 per hour every day. As we near the end of a week, the price decreases to around £0.75 per hour – you will not find a better rate in any other car park!
