Airport drop-off fees in the UK have skyrocketed, with 16 of the top 20 airports hiking prices by up to a third since last summer—Gatwick and Stansted now charge £10 for a quick stop, while London City Airport tops the list at £8 for just five minutes. Critics say these “farewell fees” exploit captive drivers, especially when major European airports don’t charge at all. Airports defend the fees as congestion and pollution controls, tied to public transport incentives and expansion plans, while noting free shuttle options and disabled driver exemptions. Travelers and businesses alike are frustrated by the rising costs and shifting rules, and drivers must stay vigilant—some zones lack barriers, and missed payments can lead to parking fines.
