How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Exhibition Road is a shared-surface street; cars pause directly outside the entrance, and the same kerb serves the V&A and NHM. At Gatwick Airport, your driver waits in arrivals with a name board, flight tracked, 60 minutes of waiting included.
Flight tracked
Inbound journeys are tracked in real time; the The Science Museum pickup moves with your actual arrival at no extra cost.
Culture without logistics
Timed exhibitions, cloakroom queues and closing bells — the car absorbs all of it so the art gets your attention.
Both directions, one price
The Science Museum to Gatwick Airport or the reverse — the fixed fare from £101 holds either way.

Worth knowing
Wonderlab tickets are the one thing worth pre-booking for children; the rest of the museum is free and blissfully unticketed.
At the The Science Museum end
Exhibition Road is a shared-surface street; cars pause directly outside the entrance, and the same kerb serves the V&A and NHM.
Exhibition-day timing
Blockbuster shows sell timed slots. Match the pickup to yours and the spare minutes go to the permanent collection, not the foyer.

The Science Museum to Gatwick Airport, planned properly
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. Exhibition Road is a shared-surface street; cars pause directly outside the entrance, and the same kerb serves the V&A and NHM. At Gatwick Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 27-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 1h 10–1h 35 for the 27 miles, with 60 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll, plus the London charges where they apply, inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
