Gatwick asks private hire drivers to use the Short Stay car parks, so your driver parks there and meets you in Arrivals just past the customs exit with a name board. Pickups from the airport are £12 more than drop-offs because the price includes the car park: at Gatwick, Short Stay costs £8 for up to 30 minutes and £14 for up to an hour.
