During Christmas and summer holidays, Gatwick gets extra busy. The drop-off zones turn into a chaotic ballet of stressed families and overstuffed suitcases.
The charge stays the same, but the queue to enter the zone might test your patience. Bring a podcast. Or a stress ball. Or a secret stash of chocolate.
What About Blue Badge Holders?
Great news: if you have a Blue Badge for disabled parking, you can use the designated drop-off bays for free. No charge, no time limit drama, just a smooth exit.
This is one of those rare moments where the system actually feels thoughtful. High five to Gatwick for getting that bit right.
