Passengers can still drop off for free in the Long Stay car parks. Blue Badge holders remain extempt from the charge.

The announcement by Gatwick Airport, states by increasing the drop-off charge, we aim to continue reducing congestion in the busy drop-off areas and help achieve our aim for 60% of journeys to and from the airport to be zero or ultra-low emissions, by 2030. This will also enable us to continue to invest in sustainable alternatives, such as the recent doubling of the Gatwick-Reading train service and the Metrobus hydrogen fleet.
