Is it worth it?
For one person travelling light, the train is cheaper. For a family of four, a group of six in a van, or anyone heading somewhere away from a station, a fixed-price car is often comparable once you add up train tickets and onward taxis – and much easier with luggage.

Why the price varies by address
Fares are calculated from the distance to your exact address and the vehicle you choose. Destinations south of the river, such as London Bridge, are a little closer to Gatwick than the West End. The price is fixed when you pay.
Paying
You pay online by card when you book; the confirmation email is your receipt, and there is nothing to pay the driver.
Groups
A Standard Van takes 6 passengers and 4 suitcases; a minibus takes up to 16. For a group, one vehicle is usually cheaper per person than several taxis.
