Direct travel to your Guildford address
Guildford is the county town of Surrey, home to the University of Surrey, Guildford Cathedral and the historic Guildford Castle, and it’s a regular route for us for students, university visitors and business travellers.
A pre-booked car takes you directly to your Guildford address without arranging onward transport from the railway station. You have one pickup, one vehicle and one destination, with your luggage travelling with you throughout.
Starting term at the University?
Book the campus or halls of residence address and travel directly from your Gatwick terminal.
Staying at a Guildford hotel?
Give us your hotel's full address rather than a general town-centre drop-off.
Travelling with several bags?
Choose a vehicle with enough passenger and luggage capacity when you book.
Arriving outside normal bus hours?
A direct taxi avoids relying on a bus or coach timetable that may not suit your landing time.
