KB CARS · AIRPORT TRANSFERS
Book a pre-arranged journey with help from our 24-hour office. We quote for your route and travel details; enquire about your North Terminal transfer today.
AT NORTH TERMINAL
Departure drop-off and arrival collection use different arrangements. For a KB pickup, agree your meeting point with the office before you travel.
North Terminal’s departure drop-off is on the lower level between Sofitel and the multi-storey car park. It is a charged, quick-stop area. Short Stay is a separate option if someone needs longer to accompany a passenger.
KB normally parks in Short Stay and meets passengers inside arrivals. A name board can be provided; agree the meeting point and any parking charges with the office. The airport also offers express pickup at North Terminal Car Park 6, Level 4, where the driver must stay with the vehicle. This is a separate airport option, not the departure drop-off or a default KB meeting point.
RAILWAY ACCESS
Gatwick’s mainline railway station is at South Terminal, not North. A train journey to North includes the free inter-terminal shuttle and walking between the station, shuttle and terminal. Allow for handling your luggage through each part of the connection.
Check your flight’s actual terminal before choosing your route, rather than relying on an airline’s usual terminal. North and South have different road approaches and collection areas, so include North Terminal and your flight details when you enquire.
PLANNING YOUR TRANSFER
A pre-arranged transfer takes you to or from North Terminal without the station-to-terminal shuttle. Our office can help match the journey to your group and luggage.
A saloon suits ordinary journeys; ask about an estate if you have extra luggage. A six-passenger vehicle is an option for groups, with luggage considered alongside the seats needed. You can also enquire about seven- or eight-plus passenger vehicles.
For airport-to-home and airport-to-university journeys, KB offers free arrivals meet-and-greet and flight tracking. Tell the office if you need help to the car or with bags, and agree your collection arrangements before booking.
YOUR JOURNEY QUOTE
Your quote reflects the route, direction, date and time, vehicle and agreed extras. Send your full pickup and destination addresses, flight details, passenger count, luggage and any vehicle or assistance requirements. Include any stops or return plans. KB Cars is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Our Privacy Notice explains how we handle your booking information.
Discuss the journey fare, airport parking or access charges and driver waiting separately, and agree what is included and the applicable waiting terms before booking. Peak travel can affect the quote. An enquiry or quote alone does not confirm a car; KB confirms a booking by SMS and/or email.
GOOD TO KNOW
Practical answers for passengers, luggage and arrival collections.
Yes, folding wheelchairs can be carried in a suitable vehicle, but KB currently has no wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Tell the office the folded dimensions, other luggage, boarding needs and any assistance required so we can agree a suitable arrangement.
Yes. Guidance to the car and loading ordinary bags or a folding wheelchair are free. Tell the office about your needs beforehand so we can arrange a driver able to help. An additional escort to or inside a building, shopping centre or flat depends on the task and may carry an agreed charge; discuss the scope with the office. Required disability assistance is not subject to a prohibited surcharge.
Yes. You can bring and fit your own suitable child seat, or ask KB to supply one. The airport journey offer is £3; for non-airport pre-bookings over £50 the offer is also £3. Local and short-notice requests depend on availability. Tell the office your child’s seat requirements and the number needed, and confirm suitability and the total charge before booking. For other bookings, check the price with the office.
No. Free arrivals meet-and-greet for airport-to-home and airport-to-university journeys does not mean unlimited free waiting or include airport parking automatically. Confirm the waiting terms and any parking or access charges with the office before booking.
