Pick up from Gatwick Airport

Hi,
I need to book a pick up from Gatwick Airport to FH in the next few weeks. Public transport is ruled out - my mum would get lost. Tried that one already…

With that in mind, what companies have you used recently and what is the ballpark figure for such a service?

Try the official Gatwick taxis. They will give you a quote here https://taxis.gatwickairport.com/

I use BA transfer (not local I know, sorry). Around £48. Although having said that it is for early morning pick ups to the airport.
From Gatwick just realised in 5 years never got a taxi from the airport. Always get train to East Croydon as minimum as it is so quick and if needed taxi from there. Public transport is quicker than taxi in my experience (aware not an option here).

Sydenham Cars have been excellent the last couple of times I’ve needed to arrange an airport pick up for a friend. They also did meet and greet at Arrivals - we paid their parking charge.

We have mostly used British Airport Transfers having found them to offer good prices and consistency in service. Airport pick ups is kind of a specialized service which I’ve found local firms not really great at.
