Both terminals, fixed fares from £180, 24/7
First Class Chauffeurs provides chauffeur-driven airport transfers between London Gatwick (LGW) and central London. Your chauffeur waits inside the arrivals hall with a personalised name board, helps with luggage and walks you to the car — no taxi queues, no car park hunting, no conversation about the fare afterwards.
Gatwick is the UK's second busiest airport and London's southern gateway, 28 miles (45 km) from the city, reached from junction 9 of the M23 and the A23, with the M25 about ten minutes away. We cover both the North and South terminals around the clock, including night arrivals and early morning departures.
How your Gatwick pickup works
Your chauffeur arrives early, parks and waits inside the arrivals hall of your terminal with a name board. There is no need to call anyone or find a car park — the chauffeur comes to you, takes the luggage and escorts you to the car.
Parking and airport access fees are already included in the fare. Gatwick charges for dropping off and picking up at the terminal; we absorb that cost, and it never appears as an extra on your invoice.
If you would like to be met the moment you step off the aircraft — through passport control and baggage reclaim — our Gatwick meet and greet service is available separately.
North and South terminals
Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, and they sit apart from one another. Your terminal is printed on your boarding pass and flight confirmation — tell us at the time of booking and your chauffeur will be waiting in the right one.
If the terminal is not yet known, or is changed at short notice, it makes no difference to us: we track the flight and confirm the actual arrival terminal before you land. A free shuttle connects the two terminals, but you will not need it — the car comes to where you arrive.

Flight tracking and free waiting time
We track your flight number against the arrivals board and move the pickup time with the actual landing. Delays, early arrivals and terminal changes are handled without you doing anything, and without a charge for the change.
You have 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time from touchdown — enough for passport control, baggage reclaim and the walk to arrivals. If you are held up longer, your chauffeur will wait; a message or a call is all it takes.
Journey time into London
The drive into central London usually takes 70 to 100 minutes. The distance is 45 km, but the traffic on the M23, the M25 and the approach into town decides the rest. Nights and early mornings are quicker; weekday peaks are slower. Your chauffeur leaves with time in hand and chooses the route on the day.
Our most frequent Gatwick runs are to Mayfair, Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Kensington and Westminster, along with the City and the major hotels. We also handle airport-to-airport transfers between Gatwick and Heathrow, Luton and Stansted, and long-distance journeys to other UK cities.
The fleet
Choose the car to match the trip. Passengers arriving at Gatwick often travel with a full suitcase each, so luggage is worth a thought at the time of booking:
- Mercedes-Benz S-Class — first-class comfort for one passenger or a couple.
- Mercedes-Benz V-Class — seven seats and six cases for a family or a business group.
- Range Rover Autobiography — presence and comfort over a longer run.
- Rolls-Royce Phantom — for the arrivals that need to make an impression.
Every car has leather upholstery, Wi-Fi, climate control, bottled water and privacy glass. Child seats are provided free of charge — give us the child's age when booking.
Business travellers and corporate accounts
Gatwick carries a steady flow of business traffic to and from Europe. We run regular transfers for corporate clients, with consolidated monthly invoicing, named account management and repeat bookings for the same passenger. Our quality and environmental management are certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
