You are set down at the departures drop-off of your terminal; the airport drop-off charge is already in the price.
Flying home
Meeting your driver
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal, North or South, with a name board. Your flight is tracked, so the pickup moves with the landing time. Up to 60 minutes of waiting after landing is free.
Good to know
North and South terminals
Gatwick is split between two terminals about a mile apart, linked by a free shuttle train. Your booking needs the right one.
Planning your Gatwick pickup
Passenger collection is available in the Short Stay car parks. North and South are separate terminals: give the terminal shown for your flight when arranging collection.
For P5 meet-and-greet bookings, check your confirmation for the meeting point and contact details. Keep your phone available after landing, and contact the team if baggage, immigration or assistance takes longer than expected. Do not move to a different terminal or car park without agreeing it with your driver.
