Taxi from ED to Gatwick


Recommended Posts

  • 1 month later...

Used Mason & Green for the first time in June for a Gatwick Airport drop off and pick up thanks to recommendations on this thread.


Internet booking and subsequent email confirmation was easy. Early morning pick up (330am) driver turned up 15 minutes early. Child seats are provided free of charge and were already fitted.


Cars were clean and modern and drivers were polite and knowledgeable. The driver on the return leg even put some nursery rhymes on for our toddler who was getting grouchy after too long sitting down.


I'll def be using them again.

I'm currently at Heathrow (not Gatwick, but there doesn't seem to be a suitable thread...) with my wife and 20 month old son. We're waiting for Airport Direct. This is worrying as AD were 40 minutes late picking us up on the way here last week, and, what's far worse, they lied to us several times about the driver's location.

We are really disappointed as we have been using this company for many years without incident. In January however they cancelled one of the two cars we ordered, assuming it was a duplicate booking, and without bothering to check! I wonder if AD are under new management. Certainly their previous high standards have slipped badly.

Thanks to those people who have made recommendations on this thread. Needless to say, we shall not be using Airport Direct again!

I hate to say it (as its not a local business) but Uber works very well getting to and from all London airports now. No pre booking but each time I land there's been one at pick up area in under 5 mins. Yesterday's fare from SE22 to Heathrow T5 was just 42 quid...and it was a new hybrid limo!

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
