Best Park and Fly Hotels Near Gatwick
Only two hotels on this list confirm a dedicated park-and-fly arrangement: Premier Inn London Gatwick Airport South (London Road) and Bloc Hotel Gatwick, both letting a driver leave the car for the length of a trip instead of paying separately for terminal parking. Premier Inn South London Road sits a few minutes from the airport by taxi with free parking included, while Bloc Hotel Gatwick backs its park-and-fly deal with one of the shortest walks to the terminal on this list, around four minutes. The choice between them comes down to whether a short walk or a lower nightly rate matters more.

Hotels near London Gatwick Airport
A park-and-fly package solves a specific problem: leaving a car near the airport for a week or more without paying daily terminal parking rates on top of a hotel bill. Both hotels here fold the parking into the stay itself rather than charging it separately, which simplifies the cost of a longer trip. Bloc Hotel Gatwick adds the shortest walk to the terminal of any hotel on this list, useful if the trip starts or ends with a heavy suitcase, while Premier Inn South London Road keeps the nightly rate lower for a driver who does not need to be right at the terminal doors.
Premier Inn London Gatwick Airport South (London Road) lists park-and-fly directly among its amenities alongside free parking, at a rate under sixty-five pounds, making it the more budget-friendly of the two for a driver leaving the car for an extended trip.
Bloc Hotel Gatwick combines its park-and-fly deal with a four-minute walk to the terminal, meaning the car stays parked at the hotel while the traveller walks rather than shuttles to check-in, useful for keeping the whole departure process to a single, short sequence.
Both hotels sit within the near-airport cluster of properties around Gatwick, so neither requires a long drive to reach in the first place; the main decision is whether the shorter walk at Bloc Hotel or the lower rate at Premier Inn South matters more for a specific trip.
