Press Release Summary: Because of its geographical location parking at Gatwick
Airport is a necessity and a convenience to travelers departing from Gatwick Airport


Press Release Body: London, England May 19 2008 - In a study done by Travelrobe
comparing parking at Gatwick Airport and or using public transportation reveals that
convenience and price might be the number one reason why most customers would book
Gatwick Airport Parking.

Using central London in their study with two adults and two children traveling, the
Gatwick Express to Gatwick Airport cost £86.40 return, a first class ticket was
£138.00 return, visit www.gatwickexpress.com this did not take into account the bus
and underground fare and the hassle of dragging 1.5 to 2 pieces of luggage’s per
person around.

A pre booked taxi to Gatwick Airport from central London on average cost £45.00 one
way and If a black mitered taxi cab is used the average cost is £70.00 and this is
one way, visit this site to compare

Travelrobe’s MD Mark Felix said in a statement that it’s not uncommon that friends
and family can be a life saver providing free transportation to the airport, but
it’s the uncertainty of whether or not they can rely on the same service on their
return which makes parking at the airport a necessity and quite convenient.

When comparing the cost of parking at Gatwick Airport Travelrobe is suggesting these
ideas that are cheaper and convenient and the cost associated with them, for
starters, Travelrobe recommends off airport parking which would cost much less than
parking directly on the airport and the transfer to the airport is usually 10 - 15
minutes.

A two week Gatwick parking at Summer Special which was used for this study cost
£78.40 the transfer to the airport is 7 – 10 minutes and the car park operates 24/7
to verify these prices visit www.travelrobe.co.uk other options are available.

A Second car park was also used for this study and the cost was £89.85 with the same
24/7 service and both were Safer Parking Award recipients. To verify these prices
visit http://www.travelrobe.co.uk other options and car parks are available.

Booking a Gatwick Airport Parking in advance will generate even bigger savings than
a last minute booking and there is also another option for customers traveling on
very early flights which is a real convenience and that is to book a Hotel with
parking.

The cost for this option would be a little more expensive but the convenience is
worth the cost and using the same family of four with an overnight stay and two
weeks parking was £172.75 at the Best Western in Gatwick. To verify these prices
visit http://www.travelrobe.info other hotels and options are available.

The hotel option works well for families traveling long distances to get to the
airport and if spending is not a major concern because of the convenience offered
then it’s possible to book a hotel on return from a long haul flight to relax before
the long journey home.

If planning a trip this holiday season customers are urged to plan ahead and make
Gatwick Airport Parking part of their business or holiday package by booking with
