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!

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
