Leaving a car at the air port in or nearby hotel (Gatwick)?

Has anyone any idea how much it costs to leave a car at Gatwick for approx 10 days (July)? I have also been told that you can find hotels near the airport where you buy a room for the night and then they take you to the air port and let you leave your car there for a fraction of the price. Does anyone know of any of these hotels

    It's an excellent strategy to park your car at the airport hotels and take advantage of cheaper parking rates. Some will actually drive your car to another location for a reduced rate just to get your business.

    What you need to do is identify some hotels with good deals such as on Cheaper than Hotels at Gatwick, and before you book just check that the hotel will accept parking arrangements at a reduced rate and make your overall comparisons. Depending on the time of year availability and conditions can change.

    But it's an excellent idea that may save you hundreds of pounds. Try starting here:

    I will save you a great deal of time, effort and money by telling you about Holiday Extras.

    You can park on the airport boundary for £36 a week and stay overnight in a Hotel and park for however long you are away for £100. Visit the website - I've been with them at least a dozen times now.

    try the hilton gatwick, this sounds like something they would do. In the short stay car park, i was in gatwick for about 3.5 hours and it cost me about £13. In my opinion, get a friend to take you there, and if possible, pick you up.

    If this is not an option, get someone to drop your car off as late as possible, they keep a key, and you have spare one.

    Again, if not possible, take the train!
