What to expect
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to Claridge’s, your driver meets you in arrivals at Gatwick Airport with a name board, flight tracked, 60 minutes of waiting included. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: the Brook Street frontage allows a brief kerbside stop; for longer loads the doormen direct cars to Davies Street, and your chauffeur will already know which.
Flight tracked
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
Luggage handled
Between the Claridge’s lobby and the terminal, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Gatwick Airport, and a car at the door at Claridge’s — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.

Travel notes
Good to know about Claridge’s to Gatwick Airport.
At the hotel end
The Brook Street frontage allows a brief kerbside stop; for longer loads the doormen direct cars to Davies Street, and your chauffeur will already know which.
Timing
The 28-mile run typically takes 1h 10–1h 40. Your driver reads the live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual flight.
Local knowledge
Mayfair’s one-way system means Bond Street traffic rarely touches Brook Street directly — morning departures to Heathrow run quickest before 7am.
The rail alternative
The nearest station to Claridge’s is Green Park (Jubilee, Piccadilly, Victoria) — useful travelling light, less so with a full case load bound for Gatwick Airport.
