The absolute minimum time between flights without contingency that you should contemplate making a transfer between Heathrow and Gatwick is 3 hours - and that is with a through ticket using Terminal 5 at Heathrow.
If you are changing airlines with separate tickets then you probably need a minimum of 4 hours between flights.
Mondays to Fridays between 6am and 10am traffic congestion is routine, expect delays of 15 minutes or more in the Gatwick - Heathrow direction. Between 3.30pm and 7pm, the delays are in the Heathrow-Gatwick direction there is again routine severe congestion.
On Sundays late afternoon and evenings there is often severe congestion especially around Heathrow.
We can accommodate private transfers from just one person to large groups. As a result we have 2 tiers of private transport available:

Terms & Conditions:
No hidden extras - Prices include all taxes, parking and London congestion charges.
Payment by credit card/debit card - You can pay for our service with a valid credit/debit card.
Cancellation - Cancellation requests must be received in writing, by email or telephone. You will be provided with all contact details and 24/7 support at time of booking. Cancellations must be informed of a minimum of 24-hrs prior to the time of booking by telephone. Cancellations informed 24-hrs prior to the time of booking will incur a £10.00 cancellation charge. Cancellation informed 3-24-hrs prior to the time of booking will incur 50% of quoted price for provision of service cancellation charge. Cancellations not informed up to 3-hrs prior to the time of booking will incur 100% of quoted price for provision of service cancellation charge.
Don't worry if your flight is late, waiting times - At airports incoming flights are monitored and the driver will adjust his/her arrival time to the actual flight landing time. The driver will be waiting outside the exit to the customs hall with your name around 30 minutes after actual landing - not scheduled time. (If you have no luggage an earlier arrival time can be agreed). You can adjust the free waiting time of your driver which starts when the driver arrives by asking the driver to arrive later. You will be subject to additional charges if the driver has to wait over the free 30 minutes waiting time.
Child & baby seats - Are provided on selected vehicles for a charge.
If you have a large group then that is not a problem either.
We offer the full range of vehicles from 12 seat mini-buses to the largest coaches with 50-72 seat coaches but we also have access to vehicles half that size.
For the mini-buses up to 16 passengers we have customised vehicles with much larger luggage capacities.
With large groups on cruises the luggage capacity issue is a factor to be considered.
UK coaches are built to European traveller requirements, where one large case is perfectly adequate. A typical 50 seat coach will be able to accommodate around 60 large cases in the luggage hold.
For a group travelling with North American flight allowances a 50 seat coach will typically only be able to accommodate the luggage of 35 such passengers maximum.
With large groups just as small groups multi- drop and pick-ups from hotels is routine and if you require sightseeing we can arrange a guide whether it be an orientation tour of London or a niche interest of the group.

Terms & Conditions:
Overview - The coaches and minibus vehicles are very highly regulated. Access to airport terminals is very restricted, only the smallest mini-buses can access the car parks by the terminals at most airports and in London coaches may have restrictions beyond whether they can physically access some London streets which can be very narrow. Drivers are monitored by electronic tachographs and rest breaks are enforced. In summary every quotation is unique where the vehicle size, location of departure and arrival, journey length and payment may vary from one enquiry to another. However, there are some broad principles that apply to all quotations
No hidden extras - Prices include all taxes, parking and London congestion charges. .
Payment by bank transfer, credit card / debit card with no fees - Payment is in advance on our secure web-site or by bank transfer. There is no extra fee for payment by credit card.
Cancellation - You can cancel without penalty up to 2 days prior to travel for the mini-buses, The large coaches may have more restrictive conditions on cancellation which are made clear at time of quotation.
Don't worry if your flight is late, waiting times - At airports incoming flights are monitored and the driver will adjust his/her arrival time to the actual flight landing time.
Airport arrivals - At many of London's airports, and especially for the larger coaches the coach will park is a designated coach bay by the terminal, not in the terminal car parks. The driver is not allowed to leave the vehicle and perform meet n greet. In these occasions the group will have to make their own way to the coach. The airport terminal staff regulate this facility and will provide support if needed and will know exactly where your vehicle is located.
