If you would like some more precise instructions on how to pick up passengers arriving at Gatwick Airport's North Terminal I would strongly recommend you follow this link:

Personally, I did not find the latter website helped me that much.
In my case the passenger I was collecting had walked out of the terminal and caught sight of me driving into Car Park 6. She phoned to ask what floor level I had parked on and came straight up in a lift to Level 4 to meet me. I was able to use a card to pay for the parking immediately at a machine next to the lifts (£5.00) and we were on our way.
The whole process took about 15 minutes.
Brilliant. I now know where I am going. Thank you for posting this
Thank you so so much - I’m about to pick my partner up from here and there was so little information online I got confused. I was nervous. Now I know exactly where to go. Can’t thank you enough for making this!
Shiraz, thanks for the message and I hope the pick up went okay. I did the video some time ago so I'd be grateful if you'd let me know of any updates I should report, or indeed, whether I should consider taking the video off the internet. Many thanks.
@@lindsayclubb No changes needed, it was absolutely perfect! It really helped me pick up my partner yesterday, otherwise I would’ve not known what to expect. Really appreciated it. Perhaps you could specify that this is Car Park 6, Express pick up, as you can’t find any pictures of Car Park 6 anywhere.
@@shirazengineer5320 Thanks for the quick reply and delighted your pick up went well. Your note about Car Park 6 duly noted ... will add to notes.
Another option is to use the long stay car park. You get 2 hours free parking and can use the shuttle bus to go into the terminal, meet the person, then get back on the bus to return to your car. As long as you don't stay longer than 2 hours, the ticket will let you out of the car park free of charge.
Interesting that the pickup charge is £5 for 10 mins, but it takes about 4 minutes to get from the ticket barrier up to the express pick up area. Would be tricky to get in and out inside 10 mins
Thank you so much 😊
Great help, thanks alot 👍
So glad this was of help.
I really wish I had seen your video this morning before I dropped my daughter off. Didnt know where the drop off point was so missed going into the car park and up the ramp! Ended up stopping on the double red lines for a few minutes on the exit approach for her to get out. Bound to get a parking fine now! ☹
Hi Lorraine - I am sorry ... you are right that parking on the double red lines is frowned upon - I've got my fingers crossed you hear nothing. Probably the better video to watch is at czcams.com/video/KmKi1GMo8W0/video.html.
@@lindsayclubb Thanks for the info. Luckily ... I never received a fine!
@@lorrainehazell5192 Great!!
Thanks for the video. What dash cam do you use in this video? Would you recommend it?
Is the ticket machines card and cash or just cash ? Thanks.
Short stay is only 30 mins. Is that enough time to get out and find the people you are picking up?
Sorry I haven't replied before now. My journey to Gatwick is long so I usually arrive far too early. I find it works best for me to wait at Pease Pottage Services (just a few miles down the M23) until the passenger I am picking up calls me and confirms they are through any necessary checks and have started walking to Express pick up. Sometimes i do keep them waiting a bit but I'm in and out in just a few minutes.
what is the postcode?
Is there a charge to pay at the barrier?
You pay at the floor level you park, near the staircase, (see 8:15) or at the machine immediately to the right of the ground floor vehicular exit from the car park (see at 11:57). When I got to the exit barrier I don't think I even had to insert my ticket (see 12:16), but have it ready just in case.
I have googled and googled this. Nothing on LGW pages for how to pay except if you book in advance. In other words there is nothing 'express' about this....you gotta park up, get outta car, pay at pay station, get back in car and exit. In other words a normal (non express) car park. 'Trust me I'm a lawyer' syndrome. Anyway, thanks very much for posting this vid and the payment comment!
