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.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
