A Gatwick executive chauffeur meets your traveller in the North or South Terminal arrivals hall with a name board and drives them to the office, hotel or meeting for a fixed fare from £115 to central London. Private jet transfers start from £140, and company accounts include monthly invoicing and named chauffeurs.

Business Travel Through Gatwick
Gatwick is best known as a holiday airport, but it carries a large amount of business travel too: short haul routes to European business cities, and long haul flights on some routes. It is also the closest major airport to many company offices in Surrey and Sussex.
A Gatwick executive chauffeur booking is about the parts of the trip a business traveller cannot afford to go wrong: being met on time, travelling in a car quiet enough to work in, and receiving an invoice the finance team can process without chasing receipts.
What a Gatwick Executive Chauffeur Includes
- A named chauffeur. DBS-checked, with at least five years’ experience, trained in-house, in a dark suit and tie.
- A late plate car. Mercedes E-Class, S-Class or V-Class, or a Range Rover, with Wi-Fi, chargers and water.
- Flight tracking. The pick-up moves with the aircraft.
- 60 minutes of free waiting. Counted from actual touchdown.
- A fixed fare. Agreed in writing before the journey, with no meter and no surge.
- Company invoicing. On a corporate account, one invoice a month.
Gatwick Executive Chauffeur Fares
Our published fares from Gatwick are:
- Either terminal to central London. From £115 in a Mercedes E-Class.
- Gatwick private jet (FBO) transfer. From £140.
- Surrey, Sussex, Kent or another airport. Quoted individually as one fixed price.
The S-Class, V-Class and Range Rover are quoted on request. Central London fares include the congestion charge and ULEZ, and every fare includes meet and greet, airport parking and 60 minutes of free waiting.
Company Accounts for a Gatwick Executive Chauffeur
A corporate account is set up once and used for every booking. It includes monthly invoicing, cost centre references on every journey, named chauffeurs for frequent travellers and priority allocation at busy times.
A travel manager or an executive assistant can book for several travellers on the same account. Preferences, such as the usual car, the home address and the preferred chauffeur, are stored, so a booking needs only the flight and the date.
The S-Class for a Gatwick Executive Chauffeur
For a senior traveller, the Mercedes S-Class is the usual choice. The current model is sold in the UK only in long wheelbase form, with air suspension, more rear legroom and a quieter cabin than the E-Class. On the drive up the M23, that is an hour of working time.
The E-Class suits regular business travel where the S-Class is not required, with more rear legroom than the previous generation. The Range Rover suits travellers who prefer a higher seat. The V-Class takes a team of up to 7 with 5 cases, with sliding doors on both sides. See every car on our fleet page.
Where a Gatwick Executive Chauffeur Meets You
Gatwick has a North Terminal and a South Terminal, linked by a free shuttle. Each airline uses one of them. Put the flight number on the booking and we confirm the terminal, so the chauffeur waits in the right arrivals hall with the board.
The evening before, the traveller receives the chauffeur’s name, photo and mobile number. A text before landing confirms the meeting point. Our Gatwick North Terminal chauffeur and Gatwick South Terminal chauffeur guides explain each one.
Gatwick Executive Chauffeur Cars for Private Jets
Private and business aviation at Gatwick is handled separately from the passenger terminals. A Gatwick executive chauffeur for a private flight goes to the handler’s building, not the terminal arrivals hall, so give us the handler’s name and the flight details when you book.
Gatwick private jet transfers start from £140. NDA and multi-car arrangements are available on request, for principals travelling with staff or security. Our private jet transfers page covers every London airfield.
Offices in Surrey and Sussex
Gatwick is closer to many company headquarters in Surrey and Sussex than central London is. A Gatwick executive chauffeur can take a visitor straight to an office in Crawley, Horsham, Reigate or Guildford, without going near London.
These journeys are quoted individually as one fixed price. For a visitor with meetings at more than one site, hourly hire keeps the car with them for the day, and the chauffeur waits in the visitor car park at each office until the meeting ends.
A Day of Meetings After Landing
When the plan is more than one destination, hourly hire is usually simpler than several transfers. It starts from £55 per hour in an E-Class or S-Class and from £65 per hour in a V-Class, with a 4 hour minimum and unlimited stops inside London. The chauffeur waits nearby with the luggage in the car, and the day can be extended at the same rate.
A Sample Gatwick Executive Chauffeur Day
This example follows a sales director landing at the North Terminal from Madrid, with meetings in London.
- 08:40. The aircraft lands. The named chauffeur is in the North Terminal hall.
- 09:15. The car leaves Gatwick in an S-Class, on hourly hire.
- 10:45. First meeting in the City. The chauffeur waits nearby.
- 13:00. Lunch with a client in Mayfair.
- 15:30. Final meeting near King’s Cross.
- 17:30. Drop-off at the hotel.
One booking, one invoice line, with the case in the boot all day and the same chauffeur from the arrivals hall to the hotel door.
Departures With a Gatwick Executive Chauffeur
For a departure, your Gatwick executive chauffeur collects the traveller from the office, hotel or home and sets them down at the right terminal’s departures forecourt. We plan the pick-up from the flight, the airline’s bag drop close time and the traffic leaving London at that hour.
Business travellers often check in online and fly with hand luggage only, which shortens the time needed at the airport. Our Gatwick early morning chauffeur guide covers the first departures of the day.
Visiting Clients and Senior Guests
When a company brings a client or a senior guest through Gatwick, the arrival reflects on the host. A Gatwick executive chauffeur in a dark suit, with a clear name board in the arrivals hall, shows the visit has been planned.
Give us the guest’s name for the board, the flight number and the destination. Ask for a text to the host when the guest is in the car, and we send one, so the host knows when to expect the guest at reception. A chauffeur who speaks a second language can be arranged where notice allows.
Discretion on a Gatwick Executive Chauffeur Booking
Executives often take confidential calls in the car or carry sensitive papers. Our chauffeurs do not discuss passengers, destinations or conversations. NDA arrangements are available on request, so send your company’s document with the booking.
The name board can show the company name or a code name. If the traveller would rather not be met with a board, tell us and the chauffeur meets them at an agreed spot.
Teams With a Gatwick Executive Chauffeur
For a team arriving together, the V-Class takes up to 7 with 5 cases, or we send several cars if team members are going to different places. One booking and one invoice cover every car.
For roadshows, we provide a dedicated London coordinator, who plans the cars for every leg of the visit and moves the plan if a meeting runs over.
Punctuality and Planning
Every Gatwick executive chauffeur booking is planned for punctuality. We are on time on 99.2% of journeys, with live flight and London traffic monitoring. For an arrival, the chauffeur is in the hall before the traveller comes through. For a departure, the pick-up time includes a margin for the M23 and the roads through south London at that hour.
When a Gatwick Executive Chauffeur Booking Changes
Business plans change. A flight is cancelled, a meeting moves, a trip is extended. A person answers the phone when you call, and we change the booking without starting again. Changes are free up to 12 hours before pick-up. Cancellation gives a full refund more than 24 hours before the journey, 50% from 12 to 24 hours and no refund within 12 hours.
Disruption Days at Gatwick
Gatwick, like every large airport, has days when things go wrong: fog that delays the first wave, a storm that cancels flights, a strike that closes a rail line and sends everyone onto the roads. On those days, travellers need a plan quickly, and travel managers need to know where everyone is.
We track every account flight, so we usually know about a delay or cancellation as soon as it is announced. We call the traveller or the assistant, move the car to the new flight, or arrange a car to a hotel for the night. If a traveller is rebooked through another London airport, we send the car there and confirm any change to the price first.
Hotels for Visiting Executives
Visiting executives often stay in Mayfair, St James’s, the City or Canary Wharf. Give us the hotel name and the chauffeur plans the set-down at the main entrance, where a doorman takes over with the bags. Our luxury hotel transfers page covers the arrival points at five well known London hotels.
On an early arrival, when the room is not ready, the chauffeur can drop the luggage at the hotel and take the traveller on to the first meeting, if you tell us when you book.
Long Haul Arrivals at Gatwick
Some long haul routes use Gatwick, and those travellers arrive after a night in the air. For them, the quiet cabin of the S-Class and a direct drive to the hotel matter most. If the plan is to go straight into meetings, a stop at the hotel to shower and change can be added and priced with the fare.
The Chauffeur’s Standards
Our chauffeurs are DBS-checked, have at least five years of professional experience and are trained in-house. They wear a dark suit and tie and speak English. The car is clean, the water is in the door, the charger is ready, and the chauffeur knows the route before leaving. Those are small things, but they are what a business traveller notices.
Invoices and Receipts
After each Gatwick executive chauffeur journey the traveller receives a receipt showing the route and the price. On an account, the company receives one monthly invoice with a cost centre reference against each journey. If your finance team needs a purchase order number or a project code on every line, tell us when the account is set up. There is no booking fee and no fuel surcharge, and the price on the invoice matches the price on the confirmation.
Why Companies Book One Operator for Gatwick
When each traveller books their own car, the company ends up with receipts in every format, cars of different standards and nobody to call when a flight is cancelled at 22:00. A single operator for every Gatwick executive chauffeur booking fixes that. The travel manager sees every trip on one invoice, travellers know what to expect, and one call moves every affected booking when plans change.
For a company that flies staff through Gatwick every week, that consistency matters more than a few pounds on any single trip.
Booking Through an Executive Assistant
Most executive travel is booked by an assistant. A Gatwick executive chauffeur account can hold each traveller’s preferences, so the assistant sends only the flight and the date. Confirmations go to the assistant and the traveller, and changes can be made by phone or email without starting again.
If the traveller’s plans change on the day, the assistant can call and we update the chauffeur straight away.
Working on the Drive
The drive from Gatwick to central London is around 30 miles: the M23, then south London. In an S-Class with Wi-Fi, that is working time. A Gatwick executive chauffeur keeps conversation to what the traveller wants and will not interrupt a call. For a confidential conversation, tell us, and the chauffeur treats it that way.

Events and Conferences
Trade shows and conferences at ExCeL, Olympia and the big London hotels bring business visitors through Gatwick in groups. We plan cars for every arrival over the days of an event, each tracked separately and invoiced together, with a single schedule for the organiser showing every car, chauffeur and flight.
For the event days themselves, our events chauffeur service holds a car and keeps the return time flexible, so a delegate can leave when the last meeting ends rather than when the shuttle bus runs.
Executive Travel to the South Coast
Some business visitors land at Gatwick and head south rather than north, to offices in Brighton, Worthing or along the coast. Those towns are closer to Gatwick than London is, and the drive avoids the city entirely. Journeys like these are quoted individually as one fixed price, and the car can wait for the return on hourly hire if the visit is short.
