Starting from Gatwick Airport
Gatwick is served by the M23 and the M25 and by direct rail services into central London, but a pre-booked car is often simpler when you have luggage, children, an early flight or a destination that is not on a direct line. For arrivals, add your flight number so your driver can track your landing.
Planning your pickup from Gatwick Airport
- Enter the exact pickup address or postcode in Gatwick Airport, and the exact drop-off at The O2 Arena, so the fare is calculated for your real journey.
- Plan your pickup around the event finish time rather than the start, and book the return at the same time.
- Pick a vehicle by passengers and luggage, not just seats. A saloon suits up to four passengers; choose an estate, MPV or executive car for extra bags, bigger groups or more comfort.
- You can pay cash to the driver or by card online when you confirm, and you can add a child seat or special request in the booking notes.
