On the day
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Dorchester, 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 Dorchester keeps one of the few true forecourts on Park Lane, so your chauffeur waits off the carriageway, directly beneath the entrance awning.
Luggage handled
Between the The Dorchester lobby and the terminal, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the Park Lane approach and the Gatwick Airport pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Both directions, one price
The Dorchester to Gatwick Airport or the reverse — the fixed fare from £103 holds either way.

At the hotel end
The Dorchester keeps one of the few true forecourts on Park Lane, so your chauffeur waits off the carriageway, directly beneath the entrance awning.
Local knowledge
Park Lane southbound clears fastest towards Heathrow via Knightsbridge before 7am; after 4pm ask us to allow for the Hyde Park Corner build-up.
Timing

The rail alternative
The nearest station to The Dorchester is Green Park (Jubilee, Piccadilly, Victoria) — useful travelling light, less so with a full case load bound for Gatwick Airport.
