HOW IT WORKS

From question to booking request

  1. 1

    Ask for a quote

    Tell your assistant where you're going, when, and how many of you there are. It gets our fixed fare, and checks your flight for Gatwick pickups.

  2. 2

    Say yes

    The assistant reads the trip and fare back to you. If it's right, it asks for your name and mobile number.

  3. 3

    Enter the code we text you

    We text a 6-digit code to your mobile, with the trip and fare in the message. Give the code to your assistant to send the request.

  4. 4

    We confirm by text

    Your booking is a request until we text to confirm it. On the day, you pay the driver by cash or card.

Try asking: “Quote me from Horley RH6 7AB to Gatwick North Terminal on Saturday at 5am, 2 people, 2 suitcases.”

QUESTIONS

Booking through an assistant

Rather talk to us? Message us on WhatsApp or call 07398 341839.

Is it safe to book this way?

Nothing is booked without the code we text to your own mobile, and the text shows the trip and fare first. You never pay through the assistant: you pay the driver on the day. We still check every request ourselves before we confirm it.

Is the fare the same as booking directly?

Yes. The assistant gets the same fixed fare as our website quote and the app, worked out by our own system. It can't change the price.

What do you receive from my assistant?

Only what's needed for the trip: pickup and drop-off, date and time, passengers and suitcases, your name, mobile number and, if you give it, your flight number and notes for the driver. We don't see your conversation. See our privacy policy.

How do I change or cancel?

Call or text 07398 341839 with your booking reference. Your assistant can check the status of a booking, but changes go through us.

What does it cover?

Pre-booked trips to and from Gatwick and nearby towns (Crawley, Horley, Horsham, Haywards Heath, Redhill, Reigate and around), London to Gatwick and Heathrow to Gatwick, for up to 4 passengers.
