How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Savoy, 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: savoy Court, the hotel’s private approach off the Strand, is famously the only street in Britain where traffic keeps to the right — your chauffeur pulls up directly at the front doors.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the Strand approach and the Gatwick Airport pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Luggage handled
Between the The Savoy lobby and the terminal, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Flight tracked
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
Cars & capacity
The Savoy to Gatwick Airport from £103.
Six classes, one standard of care. Saloon, one way, off-peak. Rush hour, nights (10pm–6am) and bank holidays cost more; the return leg is 5% off when booked together — your quote shows the exact price before you book. Once you book, the price never changes.

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.
At the hotel end
Savoy Court, the hotel’s private approach off the Strand, is famously the only street in Britain where traffic keeps to the right — your chauffeur pulls up directly at the front doors.

Theatre traffic thickens the Strand from around 6pm on show nights; for an evening Heathrow departure, allow an extra fifteen minutes or ask us to route along the Embankment.
