Cab to Gatwick with Ski Carriage?


EMR

Recommended Posts

There will be between 4 and 7 of us going to Gatwick around 5am on a Sunday next month, but I'm not sure what the best option is for our luggage, as we're skiing and will have a normal bag each plus skis/boots.


Has anyone done such a journey? Do cab firms round here have roof racks or do they attach a trailer? Or would we have to get a 7 seater for 4 people and stuff everything in somehow?


Any advice appreciated :-D


I usually go with Southern Cars just along from Tesco Express at the end of Rye Lane but have never had ski carriage with me so don't know if they'd still be suitable.


Thanks!

I always use the Keen Group these days, for airport runs and even coming back from the West End late at night when I don't want to wait for a 176. Their prices are reasonable (they will give you a quote when you call) and much cheaper than getting a cab based the airport (although there's a small waiting charge for collection from the airport, which covers waiting time and car parking).


They have lots of local offices and I have found them to be 100% reliable. They even have their own App to download.

It's not what the OP was asking.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
