Thats tha APH(?) which is behind a shell garage and a 15 minute coach ride away right?

Always been the cheapest when I've had to park at gatwick.

I'd second APH. As said, it's behind a shell garage with a coach transfer to the airport, but don't worry, you don't leave your keys with them (at least I'm pretty much certain I didn't).

Have a look at parkatmyhouse.com.

Basically people renting out spaces in private drives etc. I was wary of most of the carparks as they all wanted keys left behind and leaving a quick/ desirable car is asking for some oik to rag it around imo.

I am parking for 8 days in a gated driveway for £23, the owner is also running me back and forth from the airport for £5 each way. £33 all in doesn't seem bad. For 2 weeks, something like £60 all in should be achievable. They site has a review structure, so you can ensure that the place you are leaving the car is decent. Most people on there are happy to let you take your keys away and are pretty flexible about timings etc.

I have done this once before and it all worked very well, so optimistic for this time too. Far cheaper then the 'official' parking and added bonus of keeping hold of my keys.
