Long-haul to European connections

No shuttle links the two airports airside, so connecting passengers need ground transport with their bags. A private car collects you at your Heathrow terminal and drops you at the right Gatwick terminal, timed to your second flight.

I had a 5:30 AM pickup for the airport in Alicante. The driver arrived 10 minutes early, sent a polite text to let me know he was waiting outside, and handled everything with absolute professionalism.

We used Zonetransfers for airport transfers back and forth during a family trip to Madrid. On-time pickups, comfortable vehicles, and very friendly drivers. Will definitely use them again.

We needed to get from Valencia to Barcelona with quite a few bags, so we decided to book a private transfer. The driver arrived on time, helped us with the luggage and we went straight to our hotel in Barcelona. It worked really well for us.
(08/14/2026) Sophie Turner
We booked a transfer from Lisbon Airport to Faro as we were staying in the Algarve for a few days. It was a long drive but the car was comfortable and the driver was friendly. We just sat back and enjoyed the trip instead of worrying about trains and changing buses.
