You pay per car, not per passenger. Your exact fixed price appears on the booking form as soon as you add your address and date, and it stays the same whatever the traffic.
Pickup from your door
Most travellers from Slough choose a pickup about 3 hours before a short-haul flight and an hour earlier for long-haul. After the 55-minute drive to Gatwick, that gives around 2 hours 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 Slough, 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.
