If you’re flying from Gatwick and you work for the NHS, parking doesn’t have to eat into your holiday budget. Gatwick Holiday Parking has an exclusive 15% discount available for NHS staff — here’s everything you need to know to claim it.
What is Gatwick Holiday Parking?
Gatwick Holiday Parking is run by Advam Limited and sits right on the Gatwick Airport campus, serving both the North and South Terminals. The difference from off-airport options comes down to time and stress. With off-site car parks you’re relying on a shuttle bus that runs on its own schedule — fine until you’re running late. Here you park and walk (or take a very short transfer). Nothing complicated about it, which is the point.
The main things to know: parking is on the airport campus itself so transfers are quick, there’s round-the-clock security with barrier access, and you can cancel for free — handy given how unpredictable NHS shifts can be. You select North or South Terminal when booking and the whole thing takes minutes online.
How Much Will NHS Staff Actually Save?
What does 15% actually mean in practice? Gatwick parking for a week can come in anywhere between £40 and £100+ depending on timing and car park. Knock 15% off that and you’re looking at a decent chunk back — £15 to £20 in most cases, sometimes more.
The other thing worth knowing: prices rise the closer you get to your travel date. Booking a few weeks out and stacking the NHS code on top is genuinely the cheapest way to do this.

Long Stay or Short Stay?
For a typical week away, Long Stay is where most people end up — it’s cheaper per day and the terminal transfer is included. Short Stay costs more but puts you right next to the terminal, which suits drop-offs or overnight trips where dragging bags any distance isn’t ideal. Both options are available at North and South Terminal, so it depends on which airline and terminal you’re flying from.

Is It Worth It?
The security is solid. Knowing your car is sitting in a secured, patrolled on-airport environment rather than a third-party compound somewhere off the A23 does make a difference, especially on longer trips. And if your rota changes after you’ve booked — which happens — the free cancellation means you’re not locked in.
No shuttle bus drama. Off-airport parking is cheaper for a reason — you spend time waiting for buses that may or may not be on schedule.
Trustpilot score of 4.6 out of 5 from more than 3,200 reviews — consistently well-rated for a parking operator.
