Gatwick to London taxi transfer: Meet-and-greet included
Private car from the airport, tracked to your flight and waiting when you land
A round-trip private taxi transfer between Gatwick Airport and London with meet-and-greet service at arrivals, flight monitoring, and one free hour of waiting time from landing. The driver meets you inside the arrival hall at Costa Coffee Shop with a name board, then drives you to your hotel or destination. Child and infant seats are available on minivan and minibus options for an extra charge.
The Experience
The driver knows when your plane lands because the service monitors your flight in real time. When you touch down, you don't hunt for a taxi rank or negotiate a price at the curb. A driver meets you inside the arrival hall at Costa Coffee Shop with your name on a board. You get one free hour of waiting time from the moment you land, so if your luggage takes time or you need to use the restroom, there's no meter running. The vehicle is air-conditioned and stocked with bottled water for the drive into London.
For hotel pickups heading back to Gatwick, the driver meets you in the lobby or at a designated meeting point, again with a name board. The journey takes roughly 90 minutes depending on traffic. You choose your vehicle type at checkout (a sedan, minibus, or larger option), and if you're traveling with young children, child and infant seats are available on the minivan and minibus for an additional charge. Just note it in the booking comments. The driver speaks English and keeps the car clean and tidy.
Once you book, the service calls to confirm your details 24 hours ahead. If your flight is delayed, the driver is dispatched later to match your actual landing time, so you're not paying for waiting time that isn't yours. In case of any issue during the transfer, you can reach the service through their emergency contacts.

Top questions
How do I know the driver will be there when I land?
The service monitors your flight and dispatches the driver based on your actual landing time, not a scheduled time. You'll receive a confirmation call 24 hours before your trip with all the details, and the driver will be waiting inside the arrival hall at Costa Coffee Shop with a name board.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Flight monitoring is included, so if your plane is late, the driver is sent later to match your real arrival time. You won't be charged for waiting time before you land.
Do I have to pay extra if the driver waits longer than an hour?
You get one free hour of waiting time from when your flight lands. After that, additional waiting time is charged at £0.40 per minute. For hotel pickups, you get 15 minutes free waiting from your requested pickup time, then the same rate applies.
Can I book a car seat for my child?
Child and infant seats are available on the minivan and minibus options only, for an extra charge of £10. Specify in your booking comments if you need one, and it will be fitted before you arrive.
What vehicle options are available?
You can choose from a sedan, extended sedan, minivan, minibus (up to 8 passengers), or extended minibus, depending on your group size and luggage. All vehicles are air-conditioned and include bottled water.
Where will the driver meet me at the airport?
The driver meets you inside the arrival hall at Costa Coffee Shop with your name on a board. For hotel pickups, the driver waits in the lobby or at a designated meeting point with a name board.
