About Heathrow Gatwick Cars – London Private Hire & Airport Transfer Service
Heathrow Gatwick Cars is a London-based private hire and airport transfer service established in 1999. We specialise in pre-booked transportation between London Heathrow Airport (LHR), Gatwick Airport (LGW) and destinations throughout London and the United Kingdom.
Our original focus was simple: to provide passengers travelling between Heathrow and Gatwick with a more convenient alternative to arranging separate journeys or changing between different forms of transport with luggage.
Since 1999, our services have developed beyond the Heathrow–Gatwick route. Today, Heathrow Gatwick Cars provides private airport transfers, executive and chauffeur services, long-distance journeys, corporate transportation, group transfers and selected UK seaport transfers.
Heathrow Gatwick Cars Since 1999
Heathrow Gatwick Cars was launched in 1999 with a particular focus on the road journey between Heathrow and Gatwick airports. More than two decades later, airport-to-airport transfers remain an important part of our service.
According to our company records and published service information, we have provided transportation for more than 20,000 passengers travelling between Heathrow and Gatwick.
That experience has given us a practical understanding of the requirements involved in airport transfers, including terminal locations, flight information, passenger numbers, luggage requirements, collection arrangements, traffic conditions and onward flight connections.
Our aim is not simply to provide a vehicle. We plan each pre-booked journey around the information supplied by the passenger so that the appropriate vehicle, collection arrangements and destination details are established before travel.
What Heathrow Gatwick Cars Specialises In
Our principal service is Heathrow to Gatwick airport transfer and Gatwick to Heathrow airport transfer.
We also provide pre-booked private transportation involving:
- Heathrow Airport Terminal 2
- Heathrow Airport Terminal 3
- Heathrow Airport Terminal 4
- Heathrow Airport Terminal 5
- Gatwick Airport North Terminal
- Gatwick Airport South Terminal
- London Stansted Airport

- Long-distance destinations throughout England and Wales
Our services are available for individual travellers, families, business passengers, corporate clients, groups and customers requiring executive or chauffeur-driven transportation.
Our Heathrow and Gatwick Airport Transfer Experience
Airport transfers require more planning than an ordinary point-to-point journey. Passengers may be arriving after a long international flight, travelling with several suitcases, connecting to another flight or travelling with children and other family members.
For this reason, we ask customers to provide accurate flight, terminal, passenger and luggage information when making a booking.
For airport collections, flight information can be monitored so that the driver and booking arrangements can take account of changes to the scheduled arrival time.
Where Meet & Greet has been requested, the service can be arranged to make it easier for passengers to identify their driver after leaving the arrivals area.
Our Private Hire Drivers
Heathrow Gatwick Cars uses professionally licensed private hire drivers for journeys booked through our service.
Drivers providing private hire journeys in London must meet the applicable licensing requirements established by Transport for London (TfL). Our drivers are expected to provide a professional service and to follow the requirements applicable to licensed private hire operations.
Our approach to driver service includes:
- Professional and appropriately licensed private hire drivers
- Knowledge of airport collection and drop-off procedures
- Assistance with luggage where appropriate
- Professional and courteous communication
- Respect for passenger privacy
- Attention to flight and journey information supplied during booking
- Professional presentation and responsible driving
For passengers, the objective is straightforward: a professional driver, a suitable vehicle and a clearly arranged journey.
Our Airport Transfer Process
We believe a reliable airport transfer begins before the vehicle arrives.
1. Provide Your Journey Details
Customers provide the pickup location, destination, travel date, passenger numbers, luggage requirements and, where applicable, flight and terminal information.
2. Select the Appropriate Vehicle
Vehicle selection is based on passenger numbers, luggage and the requirements of the journey. Our fleet includes standard saloon and estate vehicles, executive cars, Mercedes-Benz vehicles, larger people carriers and vehicles suitable for groups.
3. Receive Your Quotation
We provide the applicable fare and booking information before the journey is confirmed. Airport charges, optional services and other applicable costs are identified as part of the quotation or booking process.
4. Confirm Your Booking
Once the journey is confirmed, the customer receives the relevant booking information so that the transfer can be planned in advance.
5. Airport Collection
For airport arrivals, flight information may be monitored where appropriate. Customers who select Meet & Greet can receive an airport collection service designed to make meeting the driver easier.
6. Direct Transfer to Your Destination
The customer travels directly in the booked private hire vehicle to the stated destination without sharing the vehicle with unrelated passengers.
Meet & Greet and Flight Monitoring
Airport arrivals can involve immigration, baggage collection and changes to scheduled flight times. Our airport transfer service can therefore incorporate flight monitoring and Meet & Greet arrangements where requested.
Meet & Greet is particularly useful for passengers who are unfamiliar with an airport, international visitors, families, elderly passengers, business travellers and customers who simply prefer additional assistance after landing.
Important: Meet & Greet pricing and waiting arrangements can vary according to the airport, booking and service selected. Customers should refer to their quotation and booking confirmation for the applicable charges and included waiting period.

Our Fleet of Private Hire Vehicles
Different journeys require different vehicles. A vehicle that is suitable for two passengers travelling with light luggage may not be appropriate for a family, corporate group or passengers travelling with several large suitcases.
Our fleet includes a range of vehicle categories, subject to availability, including:
- Saloon cars
- Estate cars
- Mercedes-Benz E-Class
- Mercedes-Benz S-Class
- Mercedes-Benz V-Class
- 7-seater and 8-seater vehicles
- Executive and chauffeur-driven vehicles
- Larger vehicles and minibuses for group transportation
Passenger and luggage requirements should always be supplied when requesting a quotation so that an appropriate vehicle can be recommended.

Long-Distance Private Transfers
Heathrow Gatwick Cars also arranges pre-booked long-distance private hire journeys beyond London.
Long-distance transfers can be particularly useful for passengers arriving at a London airport who need to continue directly to another town or city rather than arranging separate public transport connections.
Examples can include airport transfers to destinations throughout England and Wales. The final fare depends on the route, date, vehicle, passenger requirements and any applicable parking, airport or other journey-related charges.
UK Cruise and Seaport Transfers
We also provide pre-booked transportation to and from selected UK seaports and cruise terminals.
- Port of Southampton
- Mayflower Cruise Terminal, Southampton
- Harwich International Port
- Port of Dover
- Portsmouth International Port
These services are useful for passengers connecting a London airport with a cruise departure or ferry journey, or for customers requiring private transportation between their accommodation and a UK port.
Private Hire for Families and Groups
Families and larger groups often have different transportation requirements from individual passengers.
When requesting a quotation, we recommend providing the total number of passengers together with the number and approximate size of suitcases and hand luggage.
Child seats and larger vehicles can be requested where available. For larger groups, more than one vehicle may sometimes be the most practical solution depending on passenger numbers and luggage.
Corporate and Business Transportation
Heathrow Gatwick Cars can provide pre-booked transportation for businesses, executives, visiting clients and corporate events.
Business transportation may include:
- Airport collections for executives and employees
- Transfers between airports and offices
- Hotel-to-office transportation
- Corporate meetings and events
- Client transportation
- Conference and exhibition transfers
- Hourly chauffeur arrangements
- Long-distance business journeys
For regular transportation requirements, customers can contact our booking team to discuss their expected journey pattern and vehicle requirements.

Our Commitment to Professional Service
Our guiding philosophy since 1999 has remained focused on providing passengers with a professional, dependable and well-organised transportation service.
We understand that an airport transfer is often one part of a much larger journey. A missed connection, incorrect terminal, unsuitable vehicle or unclear collection arrangement can create unnecessary stress.
Our role is therefore to establish the important details before travel and provide the appropriate private hire transportation for the journey booked.
Transparent and Clearly Quoted Transportation
Airport transfer prices can depend on several factors, including the route, travel date, time, vehicle category, passenger numbers, luggage requirements, airport charges, waiting requirements and optional services.
Rather than relying on a generic price for every journey, we recommend obtaining a quotation based on the actual requirements of your trip.
Any applicable additional services or airport-related charges should be checked when reviewing your quotation and booking confirmation.
