About 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.
Starting from Heathrow Airport
Heathrow is London's largest airport, to the west of the city near the M4 and M25. It has four passenger terminals (2, 3, 4 and 5), and each is a short drive from the others, so the terminal on your booking matters. Tell us your terminal when you book and add your flight number so your driver can track your arrival.
Planning your pickup from Heathrow Airport
- Enter the exact pickup address or postcode in Heathrow Airport, and the exact drop-off at Gatwick Airport, so the fare is calculated for your real journey.
- Work back from your check-in and security deadlines when choosing your pickup time, and add your flight number if you have one.
- 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.
