Before you travel
Good to know about Windsor Castle to Gatwick.
At the Windsor Castle end
Coaches fight over Datchet Road; cars do better — your chauffeur sets down on Thames Street below the Curfew Tower, a three-minute walk to the ticket gate.
A day, not a dash
Palaces and castles reward a whole day — state rooms, gardens, lunch in the town. Hourly hire keeps the car between all of it at one fixed price.
Combining visits
Palaces pair naturally with the towns around them — many clients add lunch or a second sight and keep the car across the day.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
The Windsor Castle–Gatwick transfer
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. Coaches fight over Datchet Road; cars do better — your chauffeur sets down on Thames Street below the Curfew Tower, a three-minute walk to the ticket gate. At Gatwick Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 35-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 1h 20–1h 55 for the 35 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.
