Gatwick tip to avoid the £5 drop off
At the south terminal just before the ramp is the long term parking. Go in there (2 hours free parking) to get dropped off and take the coach to the terminal (2 minutes ride). The coach is every 10 minutes.

I believe the same applies to the North Terminal Long Term as well.

Good tip, out of interest is there a similar way round the drop off fee at Stansted? £7 up to 15 mins then £25 over that !!

Or you could park at PVRs, leave your car and he’ll drop you off and pick you up and on your return he would’ve washed and polished your car

And kept it in one of his 17 garages on the estate.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Just a heads up, at Heathrow from later this year, not only will you have the high drop off charges to contend with. But, it will fall in to the London ULEZ expansion zone

From a previous discussion on here, I believe the long stay car parks will be outside it though. Suppose they have to be or you'd have a fine before you even got home!

If you look at the planned expansion map, it looks as if the whole of Heathrow is covered ?

That would be ludicrous surely. You would have to be sure to pay the charge before left? Would it be for every day or just the trips in and out?Beatman wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 5:42 pmIf you look at the planned expansion map, it looks as if the whole of Heathrow is covered ?

ULEZ at an airport whose planes are polluting like nothing else. Something wrong with that.

Or drop off in the Premier inn car park. Should be not that much of a walk into the terminal ?

Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

Aren’t they patrolled by those parking eye scum bags?

Be careful with that one though as I did read that the person checking in after drop off has to register the vehicle that dropped them off to avoid an automatic “invoice”
