Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 577 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Travelers frequently praise the polite and professional drivers who consistently provide efficient rides and gladly help with luggage. People also really appreciate the well maintained, clean vehicles and immediate taxi availability right outside the airport terminal. Customers find the overall booking process simple and communication throughout the trip exceptionally helpful for early morning flights. However, some customers also noted that the overall fares can be rather expensive, particularly for short local trips. A few other people also felt that certain journeys involved overly fast driving and somewhat impatient traffic maneuvers on the road.

After a very long difficult day of travel we arrived Gatwick to a delayed train completely jammed packed!! We opted to hire a car to Paddington rather than brave another difficult journey with luggage... See more

Dear Simon, thanks so much for your positive feedback.

Not up to standards - be better

Between an old car and a driver who was way past retirement age but still continue to use his phone while driving (and therefore swerving while on the motorway), this was not my expectation or past experience of Airport Cars Gatwick. If I pay a premium compared to Uber, I am expecting security at least to be part of the service.

Lone traveller

Lone traveller, so not cheap, but cheaper then other sites & safest option. Easy to find the booking booth right outside the terminal. Chap at reception was polite & waited 2 mins for the taxi, which was a Mercedes. Driver also polite and v smooth & efficient drive home .

Friendly and professional.

Friendly welcome, reasonable charge. Instant driver despite it being 0200. Excellent drive home with friendly and professional driver, who carried my bag to the door. Not the first time I’ve had great service from them.

Dear Alan, thanks so much for your positive review.

So expensive...

So expensive.... I appreciate that it is prime location and convenience, but nearly £40 for a short trip to Smallfield is excessive. Then the driver asked for a tip! This was during the day, so not unsociable hours.
I know cars are high standard, but you are clearly making a lot of money out of the short trips. I am going to switch to airport parking now as a really same price as two cabs (to and from airport).

Dear Sir, I am sorry to hear that the driver was impolite in requesting a tip, these should only be granted if the passenger wishes to do so. If you can please send details of your journey, pick up point, drop off postcode to bookings@airportcars-gatwick.com we will investigate this in full.

Dear Eleanor, thanks for your feedback, we regularly benchmark our prices with those of other Airport transfer providers using like for like vehicles and we are normally within range on all vehicle types. Airport fees and fuel costs have risen drastically in recent years and this has also influenced fare costs.

Perfect taxi service after a long flight

Going to your desk, ordering a taxi was so easy, it meant we didn’t have to leave the terminal with our luggage, it was so straightforward. The driver was very professional, helpful and polite. I highly recommend your company.
