Which airports do you cover from Worthing?

We provide transfers to Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Luton and London City airports, and to the cruise and ferry terminals at Southampton and Portsmouth. Gatwick is our most frequent airport run.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We monitor your flight. If it lands early or late we adjust the pickup so your driver is there when you actually arrive, rather than when you were originally due.

Do you offer a meet and greet service at the airport?

Yes. Ask for a meet and greet when you book and your driver will wait for you in arrivals with your name displayed, which is helpful if you are unfamiliar with the terminal or travelling with children.

How early should I book an airport transfer?

We recommend booking at least 24 hours ahead, and earlier for peak travel periods, bank holidays and school holidays. We can sometimes help at short notice, so it is always worth calling 01903 500600.

Are airport transfer prices fixed?

Yes. We hold fixed rates for a range of destinations including the major airports, so your fare is agreed when you book. Additional charges can apply for waiting time, extra stops, tolls, parking fees or journeys on public holidays, and we will always tell you about these in advance.

Can you take a large group to the airport?

Yes. Our six, seven and eight person people carriers mean a family or group can travel together with their luggage in one vehicle.

Why book an airport transfer rather than drive

Airport parking for a fortnight often costs more than a return transfer, and it leaves you to drive home tired after a long flight. A pre-booked car removes the parking, the shuttle bus and the stress of watching the clock.

It also helps with the awkward flights. A 6am check-in means leaving Worthing around 3am — our drivers do that run routinely, and there is no premium for the unsociable hour.

What to tell us when you book

The more you tell us up front, the smoother the transfer. We need:

Your flight number and terminal
Whether it is a departure or an arrival
The number of passengers and the number of suitcases
Your full pickup address, including any access notes
Whether you would like a meet and greet in arrivals
A mobile number we can reach you on

Groups, families and extra luggage

Families travelling with several large cases are usually better off in a people carrier rather than two saloons. We run six, seven and eight person vehicles, so a group can travel together and split one fare instead of two.

If you are travelling with sports equipment, a pushchair or a wheelchair, tell us when you book and we will make sure the correct vehicle is assigned to your journey.
