What is Chauffeur Parking?

Confused over what chauffeur parking is? Well don’t be.

You don’t have to be a celebrity, royalty or extremely well off to enjoy the benefits of chauffeur parking! In fact, it’s just another way to describe meet and greet parking and valet parking.

Whilst the term chauffeur parking isn’t commonly used, it is occasionally. So just like meet and greet parking, chauffeur parking is the most convenient option when driving to Gatwick Airport.

If you’re not familiar with Gatwick meet and greet parking, also known as Gatwick valet parking here are all the details for you:

• This type of parking at the airport is when you drive directly up to the Gatwick’s arrivals/departures drop off area in either the north or south terminal
• Here you are met by the parking company driver who then takes your car to the car park for you – reputable companies will have fully uniformed and ID’d staff members
• This leaves you to make your way directly into the airport terminal
• It’s a very quick service and avoids any hanging around waiting
• You do not need to drive to a remote car park several miles away from the airport
• You do not need to use a courtesy bus to make your way to the airport having dropped your car off, usually taking 15 minutes
• So, just like, if you were dropping off a friend at the airport, you drive right up to the airport, unload and off you go. 

This type of parking is ideal for everyone. In fact most travellers, having used the service, rarely use any other type of parking afterwards.
Chauffeur parking is especially good for travellers:

• With heavy luggage and sports equipment etc. 
• Families find it ideal as they don’t have to worry about getting children in and out of a car, onto a bus (usually the bus won’t have child seats, and it’s a case of them on your lap)
• Equally, the service is good for the elderly or those with limited mobility for the same reasons.
• Time pressed business travellers enjoy its efficient service. 

Although, it is a little more expensive than traditional airport parking, it does save a lot of time -  you don’t have to add an extra 30 – 45 minutes to your journey time as you drive straight to the airport, not an off-site car park. And the best bit... when you fly back into Gatwick you come out the terminal, your car is ready and waiting and you can make your way immediately home!
