Car parking at airports used to be expensive, and by expensive one means ridiculously expensive; you would have been looking at the price of your holiday again to park your car at an airport for the duration of your stay. However with new technologies such as the internet (although not that recent) and robotic car parking systems, charges have seriously dropped. The internet has meant a rise in car parking websites, such as those for Gatwick airport, so spaces can be booked and paid for online reducing labour needed by companies, and car parking attendants have been reduced with the introduction of robotic ticket readers. These reduce the costs to the provider of the car parking services and they reduce the overall cost to you. The charges vary depending on date and time, length of stay, and how far in advance you book. However it is possible to pay for your car to be parked for a pound an hour, or even less on some stays.

Even with such low fees, there is no compromise on security – your car will be very safe as there are regular patrols, day and night, by highly trained staff that will be on the lookout for suspicious activity, and deal with it efficiently. This means you won’t have to worry about your car getting damaged or stolen (much like how it would be if it were parked at your home) when you’re on holiday, allowing you to relax just that little bit extra as you should be allowed to do on holiday!
