People travelling from Gatwick can hire cars before their flights leave the runway.

Europcar has opened an "airside" car hire desk at the North Terminal, allowing passengers to book cars at their destination airports before they fly. The desk is the first of its kind at Gatwick and will help people to save time filling out forms after they land.

Europcar's regional manager Sharon Tuckwell said: "The new airside desk at Gatwick is a pilot scheme for Europcar and its customers and will be utilised in other UK and European airports if successful."
