Why do you need the return time of my flight when I book?

We need to know the actual time your flight is scheduled to land into Gatwick Airport (not the expected time back at the car park), you should be able to find this information on your flight tickets or itinerary. It is important as we track your return flight by the scheduled landing time using a live system, this means if you are going to be delayed we will be aware of it and we will know when you have landed; this helps us to ensure a smooth collection for you on your return journey back to your vehicle.

Will I need to leave my car keys?

Yes, all keys are stored in a fully secure and locked cabinet, which has been approved by Sussex Police for it's security for the entire time your vehicle is parked with us.

Do I need my flight numbers when I book?

If you have them available, then yes please.  Reception will verify your flight details at 'Check In'  The flight number determines which terminal you will fly out of or fly back into at Gatwick Airport.  We require the return landing time - not the time you expect to return back to the Car Park.  

What if my flight is delayed & I don't land back until after midnight the day I was booked to return?

This is no problem, we monitor returning flights as mentioned above, so we would be aware of any such delays or cancellations. 

Although an extra day charge may be incurred.  We know these delays can't be helped and so if your flight was due back in the evening but lands just after midnight - we may discretionally not charge. 

Are there any hidden extra charges?

At Cophall Parking Gatwick there are no extra charges for Park and Ride or Meet or Greet services.  No hidden card fees or waiver fees or admin fees, the price you are quoted  is the price you pay.

Our extra day rate is currently charged at £20.00 per extra day. 

However, please note if the vehicle is over 4.6m (15ft.) Long wheel based - you will be charged extra at arrival.

My plans have changed - can I extend my stay?

Yes of course, you can either inform us when you arrive or whilst you are away by email; reservations@cophallparking.co.uk or by phone on 01342 712779.

We will just apply a charge for each days parking you use at the same rate as your original booking with us.  The current extra day daily rate is £20.00 per day.
