Planning a private Gatwick-to-London hotel transfer? This arrival guide explains what to send before you travel, how to agree your meeting arrangements and how to choose a suitable chauffeur vehicle. PRC Luxury Travel arranges private airport collections for international visitors, families and business travellers heading to London hotels, homes and offices.
Plan Your Gatwick Collection and London Destination
Send your flight number, UK landing date and arrival terminal, together with the full address of your London hotel. Include the number of passengers, suitcase sizes and any child-seat or additional-stop requests. We will confirm the meeting point and vehicle availability with your quotation. Allow time for passport control and baggage reclaim before you are ready to leave the airport.
Whether your hotel is in Westminster, Kensington, Mayfair, the City of London or elsewhere in London, give its street address as well as its name. Traffic and your destination affect journey time, so tell us about any timed plans after arrival. Our chauffeur service for international visitors to London can also help you arrange your return airport journey and private sightseeing.
For service details and a tailored quote, visit our Gatwick airport transfer page. This guide explains what to provide when booking, how to plan your collection and which arrangements to confirm before travelling.
Booking Your Gatwick Departure Transfer
Send your travel date, exact collection address, flight time, airline check-in requirements, passenger count and luggage sizes. We use these details to plan the journey and recommend a vehicle. Allow for traffic and the time you need at the airport; a driving-time estimate alone is not a departure plan.
For Essex departures, we arrange collections from Chelmsford, Brentwood, Billericay and other local addresses. Early-morning journeys and late returns can be requested in advance, subject to confirmation. If you need another pickup or an intermediate stop, include it in the original enquiry so the timing and price reflect the complete journey.
Meeting Your Chauffeur After Landing
Provide the arriving flight number, travel date, terminal and final destination. Ask us to confirm the meeting point, meet-and-greet arrangements and how to contact the chauffeur. Flight landing time is different from the time you will be ready to leave after passport control and baggage collection.
Confirm any included waiting allowance, when it begins, airport parking and additional waiting charges. Tell us promptly about a changed flight, cancellation or diversion so the collection can be reviewed. Keep a working mobile contact number available during the journey.
Choosing a Car or People Carrier
Browse our chauffeur fleet for business and first-class saloons, including the BMW i7, and Mercedes V-Class and Senzati options. Availability is confirmed for each booking. Passenger capacity and luggage capacity are separate considerations: tell us the number and size of bags, including pushchairs or other large items. Request child seats in advance with each child’s age.
Corporate Travel and International Visitors
Our corporate travel service can connect airport journeys with hotel collections, offices and meetings. A PA or travel adviser can book for someone else by providing the itinerary and the travelling passenger’s contact details.

Gatwick Airport Transfer FAQs
Can I book a transfer to either Gatwick terminal?
Yes. Specify the terminal and flight details so we can plan the correct drop-off or collection. Let us know if your airline changes the terminal.
Can you collect at Gatwick and take me to Essex?
Yes. We arrange private transfers to Essex homes, hotels and business addresses. Include your exact destination and luggage details when enquiring.
Can I book a Gatwick transfer to a Central London hotel?
Yes. Send the hotel name and address, arrival flight number, date and passenger details. We will confirm availability, the price and meeting arrangements.
How early should I leave Essex for Gatwick?
The collection time depends on your starting address, flight time, terminal, airline requirements and expected traffic. Share these details so we can plan the journey with an appropriate allowance.
What if my Gatwick flight is delayed?
Supply your flight number and tell us about any changes. Confirm flight monitoring, waiting time and parking arrangements in your quote so you understand how a changed arrival will be handled.
Can I add another pickup or book both journeys?
Yes, by arrangement. Include every pickup address and both flight dates in your enquiry. Additional stops and return collections must be included in the confirmed itinerary and price.
