Gatwick hotel and parking packages.

[nibbo]

I've always booked with Holiday Extras for these but was wondering if any company does these packages with more than 15 days parking included. I don't particularly like being stung for an extra 7 days parking when I go to pick the car up after being away for 3 weeks.

We are staying at the Travelodge Gatwick the night before we fly and we considered leaving the car there but the prices are huge so now we are leaving the car at home and getting a lift. My concern apart from the prices are how secure are they, do they have CCTV and are they insured if something goes wrong?

We've always had a package that enables us to park at the Summer Special car park. It's approved by the police for being secure and I've never had or heard any problems with it.

We're staying at the Da Vinci Guest House the night before - nice little local guest house, £10 taxi ride from the airport (about 10 mins). Gino the owner did me a good deal and threw in the extra days parking for free - we needed 19 days.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that.

That looks a really nice place to stay. I'll email him and find out what he can do for me. Do they do evening meals there or is it best to find the local pub for a meal?

If you go to the Matalan site and click on Reward Card Holders there is a link to APH with discounted rates. Some of the options it gives you show more than 15 days parking with a hotel stay.

I found that going to the car park sites and requesting a nights stay showed me the rates for more than 15 days rather than going to the hotels that do parking - if that makes sense!

I can;t remember the cost but I got a good price for 23 nights parking and an overnight in the hotel attached to the North terminal.

Thanks Barry, I found that on the website in the end. Think I'd find a pub to go to.

I've tried APH but they don't give you a choice of what type of room you want.
We want a family room but they seem to just give you a double with no choice. Might be worth ringing them instead.
