BCP lists park & ride, meet & greet and Gatwick's official long stay car parks, for both the North and South terminals. Park & ride is usually the cheaper choice; with meet & greet your car is collected at the terminal, so there's no transfer bus.

Meet and greet is the closest option: a driver collects your car at the terminal, so you just walk in. Of the car parks, Gatwick's official long stay is around 5 minutes from the terminal by shuttle.
Meet and greet is quicker — you hand over your keys at the terminal and skip the transfer bus. Park and ride (Airparks, APH, Purple Parking, Cophall) is usually cheaper, with a transfer of around 10–12 minutes. Compare both for your dates before booking.
Typically 10–12 minutes. Purple Parking is about 3 miles from the airport; APH and Cophall are 5–6 miles away. APH's transfer buses run every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day.
BCP's usual discount (up to 20%) doesn't apply to Gatwick's airport-owned car parks. Off-airport and meet-and-greet options booked through BCP may still be competitively priced — compare the price shown before booking.
On flexible bookings, yes. You can change your dates or car park free of charge up to the arrival time on your booking — you just pay or get back any price difference — and cancel for free. Supersaver rates can't be changed or cancelled.
Gatwick's official long stay car park gives up to 2 hours free, which is handy for dropping someone off.
