On the day
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Wellesley, 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 hotel faces the Lanesborough across Knightsbridge’s opening yards — cars use the Old Barrack Yard flank for a calmer load.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the Knightsbridge approach and the Gatwick Airport pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Gatwick Airport, and a car at the door at The Wellesley — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Choose your car
The Wellesley to Gatwick Airport from £102.
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.
