Meeting your driver at Gatwick

Your driver tracks the inbound flight, so a delay on the runway does not cost you the car. Arrival time is taken from the moment the aircraft lands rather than the time printed on the ticket, and waiting time is included while you clear immigration and collect bags.

North and South Terminal

Tell us the terminal when you book and the driver meets you in the arrivals hall by the exit from baggage reclaim, holding a name board. If you land at one terminal and your booking says the other, the shuttle between the two runs around the clock and takes a few minutes, but it is simpler to send us a quick message so the driver moves to meet you.

If plans change in the air

Diversions, missed connections and cancelled flights happen. Call the office as soon as you have signal and we will rebook the pick-up rather than treating it as a no-show. For very late landings the car is still held, because the driver is watching the flight rather than the clock.

Where we drop off in Bournemouth

Bournemouth spreads a long way along the coast, and the address matters more here than on most routes. A hotel on the East Cliff, a house in Winton and a holiday let in Southbourne are all Bournemouth addresses but sit some distance apart, so give us the full postcode rather than the area name.

Seafront hotels

The cliff-top roads have restricted stopping in places and the approach to some seafront hotels is one way. Drivers know the usual set-downs, but in high season the roads near the pier are slow, so allow a little longer if you are arriving on a summer weekend.

Onward to Poole and Christchurch

Plenty of bookings on this route actually finish in Poole, Sandbanks or Christchurch. That is no problem at all, but it changes the journey, so please enter the true destination when you book rather than choosing Bournemouth as the nearest recognisable town.
