Private Transfer (Taxi)
You can pre-book a private transfer with a Taxi Company and have the driver greet you in the arrivals halls of the airport. The advantage of this is that you do not have to go searching around the airport for your taxi driver or bus connection. Your taxi driver will collect you from the arrivals hall and take you to your car. He will then drive you to Gatwick and drop you at your correct terminal -North or South. This makes travel much easier as you do not have to worry about carrying your luggage around with you. This company specialise in airport transfers and can accommodate your needs. click here
