Before you travel
Good to know about South Lodge.
Local timing
Gatwick is 20 minutes door to door — international wedding guests land, transfer, and change before the ceremony without a London detour.
Coming in to land
Flying in, your chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name board, tracks the flight, and delivers you to South Lodge rested — 60 minutes of airport waiting always included.
Through the front desk
Happy to work directly with the South Lodge concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
Tolls & charges
Routes from here carry no hidden extras — every toll sits in the quoted fare, and the London charges join it the moment the journey enters the zone.
Best departure times
For Gatwick, the road runs freest early — before the morning build-up and after the evening one. Tell us the flight and we’ll name the pickup time rather than leave you guessing.
Weddings and dinners
For weddings, board dinners and delegations we run coordinated multi-car pickups from the door — one booking, one invoice, every guest accounted for.
The South Lodge car, arranged in advance
There's a particular letdown in leaving somewhere like South Lodge — Horsham, West Sussex since 1985, celebrated for its wine cellars and South Downs spa lake — only to argue with a meter on the way out. Booking a chauffeur removes it. The fare is settled up front, the car is chosen for the address, and the driver already knows which door is yours.
The lodge gates open onto a beech-lined drive — cars deliver to the porte-cochère, and wedding-day fleets stage by the walled garden. From there, Heathrow is usually 1h 05–1h 35 away, with Gatwick, the other London airports, the mainline termini and the south-coast cruise ports all quoted before you ride. Fly in and the pattern reverses — a name board in arrivals (at the airport, never the lobby), the flight tracked, and an hour of waiting built in so a slow carousel stays the driver's problem, not yours.
Gatwick is 20 minutes door to door — international wedding guests land, transfer, and change before the ceremony without a London detour. None of it changes the essentials — a fixed fare, every charge already counted, and a driver who is early rather than "nearly there". With The South Downs and Gatwick Airport close by, guests often add a stop and keep the car between them rather than starting afresh each time.

What's the fixed fare from South Lodge to the airport?
We quote £149 to Heathrow, £149 to Gatwick, and a set fare to every other terminal, station and port. Larger cars are priced up front too, so a family or a full luggage load never becomes an awkward sum at the end.
Where does the car wait at South Lodge?
The lodge gates open onto a beech-lined drive — cars deliver to the porte-cochère, and wedding-day fleets stage by the walled garden.
Are tolls and the Congestion Charge included?
Everything on the route sits inside the fixed price — road tolls, and the Congestion Charge and ULEZ too if the journey crosses into London. The figure you agree is the figure you pay.
Can you provide a child or booster seat?
Yes — child and booster seats are available on request (£8 each). Give us the child's age when you book and the correct seat is in place before the car reaches the door.
Do you run through the night?
Yes — pre-dawn runs are routine, and there's a 15% night supplement between 10pm and 6am, shown in the quote: a 4am pickup costs what a midday one does. Your driver confirms the evening before, so you're not watching the window.
Which London airport is closest to South Lodge?
Gatwick is closest, about 25–35 min away, though "best" really follows your airline. We cover all the London airports at fixed fares, so the postcode needn't sway the booking.
Do you offer hourly hire for a day around town?
Yes. Think of it as a car on call — the driver holds your bags, keeps your place at the kerb, and moves when you're ready. Priced by the hour, agreed in advance, no meter ticking in traffic.
“He picked us up on time and was so helpful with all our luggage… He took us all over the countryside to the most amazing small villages. A 5-star experience from top to bottom!”
