Your journey
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Peninsula, 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 Peninsula’s internal courtyard is purpose-built for arrivals — your chauffeur pulls fully off Grosvenor Place and waits within the colonnade.
Luggage handled
Between the The Peninsula 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 The Peninsula — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Both directions, one price
The Peninsula to Gatwick Airport or the reverse — the fixed fare from £102 holds either way.
