With 20 years' experience in providing a great service, Maple Manor valet parking is a firm favourite with our customers and it's easy to see why. One of their professional, insured chauffeurs will meet you at the South terminal and park your car for you in a secured car park while you catch your flight, then have it waiting for you at the Short Stay car park when you get back. It couldn't be simpler and all for this low price. We only sell airport-approved Meet and Greet services and Maple Manor is no exception.
Security measures
While you're away, your car will be stored in a secured car park. All have been awarded the police Park Mark award, the Trading Standards Authority's Buy With Confidence award and are approved by Gatwick airport. All of the car parks are surrounded by a fence and are either manned 24 hours, have CCTV in use, or have dedicated 24 hour security patrols.
