What's Included on Every Airport Transfer

Flight tracking — we monitor your flight automatically, so an early landing or a delay adjusts your pickup time without you having to call and rearrange anything.

Meet & greet — included as standard at no extra cost. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board rather than leaving you to find a separate pickup point.

Fixed pricing — the price agreed at booking is the price you pay, based on the shortest sensible route, regardless of traffic or roadworks along the way.

Choice of vehicle — matched to your luggage and party size, not just headcount (see the table below).

Which Vehicle Do I Need? A Luggage Guide

The most common airport taxi booking mistake is matching the vehicle to the number of passengers only, and forgetting the boot has to hold the luggage too. Here's what actually fits:

VehiclePassengersLarge SuitcasesBest For
SaloonUp to 3-42 large + 2 small bagsSolo/couple travellers, hand luggage only for 4
EstateUp to 43-4 large + cabin bagsFamilies of 3-4 with full holiday luggage
MPVUp to 54 large + cabin bagsFamilies with a pushchair or extra bags
MinibusUp to 88 large suitcasesGroups, large families

A full pushchair travel system alone can take up half an estate car's boot — if you're bringing one plus more than one large case, tell us when booking so we send an MPV rather than an estate.

Pre-Booked vs. Turning Up on the Day

Pre-Booked With UsGrabbing a Ride on the Day
PriceFixed, agreed in advanceCan rise with demand at busy times
Flight delaysTracked automatically, pickup adjustsYou're on your own to rearrange
AvailabilityGuaranteed once confirmedNot guaranteed at peak times
Vehicle sizeMatched to your luggage in advanceWhatever turns up

This isn't a knock on any particular alternative — it's simply how planned, pre-arranged transport works compared with turning up and hoping. For a flight, where timing actually matters, that difference is usually worth the two-minute phone call.

Airport Taxi FAQs

How much is a taxi from Crowborough to Gatwick Airport?

A fixed £75, plus a £5 pickup and drop-off charge. Agreed before you travel and unaffected by traffic on the day.

How much is a taxi from Crowborough to Heathrow Airport?

A fixed £115, plus the standard £5 charge. Heathrow typically takes 75-90 minutes depending on the time of day.

How early should I arrive at Gatwick Airport for my flight?

Airlines generally recommend 2 hours before a short-haul European flight and 3 hours before a long-haul flight. Add your drive time from Crowborough (around 45 minutes) plus a buffer, and book your pickup working backwards from there.

Is it cheaper to book an airport taxi in advance or on the day?

Pre-booking is usually the safer bet on price — the fare is fixed regardless of demand, whereas on-the-day options can rise at busy times. More importantly, pre-booking guarantees a car is actually there when you need it.

Do you charge extra for early morning or late-night pickups?

No, we run 24 hours a day and the fixed prices shown apply at any time, with no separate night-rate surcharge.

Do you offer meet and greet at the airport?

Yes, included as standard on every booking, with your driver tracking your flight and waiting in arrivals with a name board.

How much luggage can I bring, and will it fit?

A standard saloon fits 2 large suitcases plus 2 small bags. For more, or a pushchair, book an estate or MPV — see the luggage guide above, or just tell us your bags when booking and we'll match the right vehicle.

Is the fare fixed or does it change if there's traffic?

Fixed at booking, based on the shortest sensible route. If your driver takes a longer route to avoid traffic, you still only pay the agreed price.

How far in advance should I book an airport taxi?

As soon as your flight time is confirmed is ideal, especially for very early or very late pickups. Same-day bookings are sometimes possible — call to check availability.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track your flight automatically and adjust your pickup time to match, so a delay doesn't mean an empty car waiting or a missed pickup.

Do you cover Luton and London City Airport too?

Yes, both are covered with a fixed price given at booking — call for a quote since these routes vary more by pickup time and traffic.

Can I pay by card or only cash?

Both are accepted — pay the driver directly at the end of the journey, or arrange payment in advance over the phone when booking.

Are your drivers licensed and insured?

Yes, licensed by Wealden District Council, DBS-checked, with every vehicle council-inspected twice a year and fully insured.

What size taxi do I need for a family of four with luggage?

A saloon seats four but its boot only holds around 2 large suitcases, so a family of four with full holiday luggage usually needs an estate or MPV instead — tell us your bag count when booking and we'll confirm.
