A high number of PCN was received from Gatwick Airport this week. Most PCO drivers are failing to set up an autopay account or the transaction failed as a result of the new anti-fraud prevention rule introduced by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) that requires debit/credit card holders to verify certain payments.
A minimum of £5 is applied to use the designated drop-off zone in both North and South Terminals. Payments must be made by midnight the day after the drop off in order to avoid getting a Parking charge notice of £100, reduced to £60 if paid within 14 days.
Charges are as follows:
- £5 for 10 minutes
- £1 for each additional minute up to 20 minutes.
- Maximum charge of £25 and the maximum length of stay 30 mins.

2: Click on Setup an autopay account
