Gatwick Meet and Greet Parking for Disabled Travellers

Check the terminal for both flights before comparing parking. Start with [North Terminal Meet & Greet options](/parking/gatwick/gatwick-north-terminal-meet-and-greet-parking) or [parking for South Terminal departures](/parking/gatwick/gatwick-south-terminal-meet-and-greet-parking), then check each product’s handover arrangements.

Do not assume every product uses the same meeting point or that the handover is directly outside the terminal doors. If you depart from one terminal and return to the other, confirm that the product supports your itinerary and ask where your car would be returned.

Use the product’s enquiry contact, or contact Compare Airport Parking Extras, to clarify any access requirements that the listing does not answer. Ask for confirmation of:

• The precise handover location and the route from there to the terminal or assistance meeting point. • Walking distance, kerbs, gradients, lifts and any step-free access you need. • Space to open doors fully, transfer into a wheelchair or deploy a vehicle ramp. • Whether your vehicle’s height, adaptations or driving controls can be accommodated. • What help, if any, is available with luggage or mobility equipment.

Explain practical requirements, such as needing side-door clearance or being unable to stand while waiting. Do not assume an accessible bay, seating, lifting help or a particular facility is included. If an essential requirement remains unclear, resolve it before paying and keep the written confirmation.

Parking handover and airport special assistance are separate arrangements. A parking booking covers the car handover, parking and return described in the product; it does not itself book assistance through the airport.

Request special assistance through your airline or travel provider in advance, following their notice requirements. Confirm where assistance starts and how you will get there from the parking handover point. Do not assume the parking driver can escort you, provide personal care or help you transfer out of the car.

If you use your own mobility equipment, our guide to [taking a wheelchair on a plane](/guides/taking-your-own-wheelchair-on-a-plane) can help you prepare the questions to ask your airline.

Before travelling, save the parking contact number, meeting-point directions and any instructions about calling ahead. Allow time for unloading mobility equipment, completing the handover and reaching your agreed assistance point, as well as your airline’s check-in requirements.

Drive to the location stated in your booking rather than choosing a terminal drop-off area yourself. Follow the booking’s vehicle and key-handover procedure. Take your medication, travel documents and any mobility aids you need before the driver takes the car. Explain any vehicle controls or adaptations relevant to driving it, as agreed before booking.

Follow the return instructions in your confirmation, including when to telephone and where to meet the driver. Do not assume the car will be waiting as soon as your flight lands. Allow for passport control, baggage collection and the return of any mobility equipment.

Confirm separately how you will reach the car collection point if you need airport assistance. If your terminal, flight time or assistance arrangements change, contact the parking service using your booking details.

Gatwick service hours are 04:00–23:00 daily. Before paying, check that your expected handover and collection times fit those hours, and ask what the booking terms say if a delay takes your return outside them.

Planning ahead gives you time to ask accessibility questions, coordinate airport assistance and assess the product terms without rushing. It does not guarantee availability, accessible facilities or a lower price.

Enter Gatwick, your dates and planned handover and collection times to [compare parking for your trip](/results). Review the total price, any stated additional charges, amendment and cancellation terms, and terminal instructions. Once your essential access requirements are confirmed, complete your booking and pay online. Keep the confirmation and any separately agreed arrangements together for your journey.
