Cab to Gatwick with Ski Carriage?


EMR

Recommended Posts

There will be between 4 and 7 of us going to Gatwick around 5am on a Sunday next month, but I'm not sure what the best option is for our luggage, as we're skiing and will have a normal bag each plus skis/boots.


Has anyone done such a journey? Do cab firms round here have roof racks or do they attach a trailer? Or would we have to get a 7 seater for 4 people and stuff everything in somehow?


Any advice appreciated :-D


I usually go with Southern Cars just along from Tesco Express at the end of Rye Lane but have never had ski carriage with me so don't know if they'd still be suitable.


Thanks!

I always use the Keen Group these days, for airport runs and even coming back from the West End late at night when I don't want to wait for a 176. Their prices are reasonable (they will give you a quote when you call) and much cheaper than getting a cab based the airport (although there's a small waiting charge for collection from the airport, which covers waiting time and car parking).


They have lots of local offices and I have found them to be 100% reliable. They even have their own App to download.

It's not what the OP was asking.

    • Me too Health matters know their stuff give great advice and Monica and the team are lovely. H&B have minimum wage staff who although they are nice enough I would never trust for advice or guidence. I would always support a long running indpendent local buisness rather than a chain.  
    • I can't remember exactly when it was, but some years back a shop opened up virtually opposite Health Matters which was selling more or less the same kind of thing (what were they thinking?!) It didn't last long, I assume because most if not all people continued to use Health Matters. Hopefully Health Matters and H&B are sufficiently different that Health Matters won't be impacted too much. Also, I doubt that assistants in H&B will have the same kind of expert knowledge about what they are selling as the people in Health Matters do - and for some  kinds of products (eg vitamins, supplements, essential oils) it's important to be able to be sure that what you are being told is reliable.
    • I noticed that today, cryptic wording on the shuttering, but guessed that was who it is.  Seems sad that it will likely impact Health Matters
    • I will go to both Health Matters and H&B! I already buy a lot online from H&B in their sales,  - when they  have excellent bargains  for things like 3 for 2  large bags of nuts (which I freeze), and   so it's one high street store I'm pleased to see on Lordship Lane (apart from their weird array of sports stuff and "snacks" with sugar in). I can't say the same for Oliver Bonas, but then I doubt I am their target market 😂
