Available Cars for Hire in Gatwick Airport
Gatwick Airport is one of the UK’s busiest, and for travellers arriving from overseas or returning from a trip abroad, having a hire car ready at the terminal makes all the difference. Parkers offers a local alternative to the big airport hire desks — with a Meet & Greet service that brings your vehicle directly to the terminal, so you’re on the road the moment you clear customs. Our Burgess Hill branch is just 10 miles from the South Terminal via the A23, making us a natural choice for Gatwick travellers across Sussex.
We hire cars at Gatwick for a wide range of purposes — airport transfers into Brighton, Haywards Heath, Lewes, and across Mid Sussex, longer trips once back on home soil, and week-long hires for visitors exploring the south of England. The full fleet is available, from compact budget cars to spacious estates and automatics, all at competitive daily and weekly rates with no hidden airport surcharges. Book your Meet & Greet at least 24 hours in advance to arrange terminal collection.
