Gatwick Airport has recently increased its minimum drop-off charge at its terminals from £5 to £6. This change, which came into effect on January 5, 2024, aims to reduce congestion and encourage the use of more sustainable transportation options. The airport has set a target for 60% of journeys to and from the airport to be made by “zero or ultra-low emissions” forms of transport by 2030.
To avoid paying the drop-off charges at the terminals, drivers can use Gatwick’s long-stay car parks for free, which offer shuttle buses to the terminals.
