If you're looking for airport parking in London, whether it's for Gatwick parking North Terminal or at another location such as Heathrow, your best bet is to get online and search for parking operators to find the best combination of availability and price.

Believe it or not, one of the best places to start is through a tour operator like Thomas Cook. When you book through their 'Extras' range, they promise a high level of security at the parking facility with such features as security patrols, entry and exit barriers and floodlighting. On top of that, they offer a price promise with the best airport parking prices, along with a waiver on amendment fees (up to 24 hours prior to arrival) and no credit card fees.

Another way to search for airport parking services is to use a search engine to find local parking agents. For instance, type 'Gatwick parking North Terminal' into a search engine and scour the list of reputable parking agents to find the
one that offers the best combination of service and price.

You can also book direct with the airport. Most airports have a website that allows online bookings, and you can usually search to find a quote on parking costs before you book.

If you're hoping to keep the costs down on parking, make sure you book well in advance. It rarely pays to book late or to pay on the day for mid or long-stay parking, as this will often be much more expensive. Plus, availability will be tight and you may find that your first choice of car park is already full.

So, wherever possible, book early and use a search engine or try a tour operator to search for the best prices on airport parking.
