Gatwick Airport is increasing its terminal drop-off charge to £10, making it one of the most expensive airport drop-off fees in the UK. From 6 January 2026, drivers stopping outside the terminal for up to 10 minutes will pay £10, a £3 rise overnight and more than double the original charge when drop-off fees were first introduced in 2021. If you’re researching how to get to Gatwick, or planning airport parking before a holiday, this is one cost worth factoring in early.
