A private transfer between Gatwick Airport and Central London replaces train connections, coach transfers and taxi queues with a single dedicated vehicle booked in advance. Your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall, helps with your luggage, and drives you directly to your destination.
This Gatwick Airport to Central London transfer, and the return journey from Central London to Gatwick Airport, is timed to your flight's actual landing rather than a fixed schedule, with real-time flight monitoring and a 75-minute waiting window after landing.
It suits business travellers, families, and groups who want a private, predictable journey between Gatwick Airport and Central London hotels or addresses, with luggage assistance included from pick-up to drop-off.

Please wait in the hotel lobby or outside the main entrance of your residence at the scheduled pick-up time.
If you cannot locate your driver, please remain at the meeting point and call the number provided.
Waiting Time Policy – Gatwick Airport
The pick-up time selected when booking is an estimated collection time based on your flight's scheduled arrival, not a fixed pick-up time. We monitor your flight and work from its actual landing time, so your complimentary waiting period begins when you land, whether that is earlier or later than scheduled. Our aim is to collect you as soon as you are ready, without holding you to the estimated time shown on your booking.
If you would prefer a fixed or later pick-up time, for example 90 minutes after landing, please let us know in advance. Once confirmed by our team, your driver will attend at the agreed time, and the waiting and no-show terms below will run from that time instead.
We understand that passport control and baggage claim may take time, so our policy allows for generous waiting:
Free Waiting Time: 75 minutes from the actual landing time. This includes 60 minutes to leave the aircraft, clear passport control, collect your baggage and reach the meeting point, plus an additional 15 minutes grace.
Extended Waiting: If passengers do not reach the meeting point within 75 minutes, extended waiting fees will apply thereafter. Charges are applied per 15-minute slot, depending on the vehicle category, starting from £12.50 per slot. These fees cover airport parking and driver time. Payment can be made in cash to the driver or by card, via a secure payment link.
Communication During Delays: Time spent waiting to leave the aircraft, passing through passport control or collecting baggage is outside our control and is included within the 75 minutes. If you experience any delay inside the airport, please contact both your driver and our team as soon as possible. Your driver will also contact you after landing, so please keep your phone switched on and connected to a mobile network or airport Wi-Fi.
No-Show: If after 90 minutes from landing the passenger is uncontactable or fails to show up to the meeting point, the driver may leave the airport, the booking will be classified as a no-show, and a refund will not be possible. Where a later pick-up time has been agreed in advance, this applies from the agreed time instead.
*Extended Flight Delays
European and Domestic Flights
If the flight is expected to arrive more than 3 hours after its original scheduled arrival time, the original booking will no longer be valid. It will be treated as a no-show and will not be eligible for a refund.
Non-European Flights
If the flight is expected to arrive more than 5 hours after its original scheduled arrival time, the original booking will no longer be valid. It will be treated as a no-show and will not be eligible for a refund.
If the applicable delay limit is exceeded, a new booking and full payment will be required. Any replacement transfer will be subject to vehicle and driver availability.
This policy applies separately from our standard waiting time policy above, which covers shorter flight delays and waiting time after the flight has landed.
Waiting Time Policy – Central London
We include 15 minutes of complimentary waiting time from your scheduled pick-up.
If passengers do not show within 15 minutes, extended waiting fees will apply thereafter. Charges are applied per 15-minute slot, starting from £12.50 per slot. Payment may be made directly to the driver in cash or via secure payment link.
No-Show: If after 30 minutes from the scheduled pick-up time the passenger is uncontactable or fails to show up to the meeting point, the booking will be classified as a no-show, and a refund will not be possible.
Luggage Assistance
Your driver will meet you at the designated point, assist with your luggage, and escort you to the vehicle. Assistance is provided for both loading and unloading to ensure a comfortable experience.

We monitor your flight in real time, so your driver is there on time even if your plane is early or late. Your driver meets you inside the airport, helps with your luggage, and drives you directly to your destination.

Service Coverage
This service is valid one-way between Gatwick Airport and Central London. Please note that our standard pick-up and drop-off service covers Central London only. Locations in North-East, East, and South-East London fall outside this area and may be subject to an additional fee. If you are unsure whether your address qualifies, we kindly recommend contacting us in advance for confirmation and pricing.

Oversized Luggage: Items such as surfboards, golf clubs, bicycles, foldable or non foldable mobility scooters may not fit in standard vehicles. Please inform us in advance so we can recommend a suitable vehicle.
If your total luggage exceeds the allowance for your booked vehicle, an upgrade to a larger vehicle will be mandatory for comfort and safety.
It is therefore very important that you inform us of the exact number and size of your bags in advance. Please read the luggage information carefully, as sending an unsuitable vehicle may result in your luggage not fitting.
Service Limitations
We are not liable for missed or cancelled flights. If your flight is cancelled or diverted, this will be treated as a cancellation by the passenger, and will not be eligible for a refund. A new booking will be required.
Please ensure you provide the correct flight number and estimated time of arrival (ETA) at the time of booking, as we use this information to actively monitor your flight. We are not liable for issues resulting from an incorrect flight number being provided.
Flight Reschedules: If the passenger changes to a different flight, date, time, or airport, the passenger must inform us as soon as possible. Accommodating the change depends on driver and vehicle availability. An additional fee may apply. This applies to changes made less than 12 hours before the scheduled pick-up.
If we are unable to confirm or provide your booked transfer due to driver or vehicle unavailability, you will receive a full refund.
Gratuities are not included in the fare and remain at your discretion.
Please note that last-minute bookings are subject to availability, and confirmation will depend on driver and vehicle allocation at the time of request.
