Gatwick also has an “express drop-off” zone that costs £5 if you book online in advance. Savvy move! But you have to pre-book. Like booking a dentist appointment for something you don’t want to do.
Drop off and pick up at Gatwick Airport
If you’re a chaotic planner like me, you’ll probably just pay the £6 after the fact. And honestly? That’s fine. We’re all just trying to get our loved ones on planes without losing our minds.
The psychological trick they play
Have you noticed that the payment page asks for your email address? Then they send you “offers” for parking upgrades. “Upgrade to premium parking – just £45!” No thank you, robot. I’ll stick with my £6 and a prayer.
Just ignore the upsells. Click “Pay Now,” close the tab, and never look back. Your future self will high-five you from the airport lounge.
