Pickup from your door
Most travellers from Horsham choose a pickup about 3 hours before a short-haul flight and an hour earlier for long-haul. After the 20-minute drive to Gatwick, that gives around 2 hours 45 minutes before your flight. Your driver collects you at the door at the time you pick; child seats are free if you add them to the booking. Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, linked by a free shuttle train that takes about two minutes. Check which one your airline uses when you book, so you are dropped at the right door.
Arriving back
On the way home from Gatwick to Horsham, the driver follows your flight's real landing time and meets you at the arrivals meeting point of the North or South Terminal. You get 60 minutes of free waiting from landing, and airport parking is included. Selecting "Return" when you book covers both legs and takes a discount off the return.
