However, they might not be practical if your friends have a lot of luggage.

A taxi if booked will be around £50

For 4 people a prebooked car can be convenient and economical.

I have a card on my table here for Flightlink 0208 8932222. I have no connection with these but I picked up the card in my local as I live near Heathrow and need to go to Gatwick in November. The fare quote on their card is £41.50 from Feltham - Gatwick. Feltham is about £10 away from the airport (in a taxi) hence the £50 fare I mentioned.

Just make them quote the job in advance.

They also have online booking www.flightlinkcars.co.uk

EDIT: Their website is quoting higher than this card I have if the journey is airport to airport as they have a surcharge.

Do your friends drive?

Europcar have an excellent short-term rental, which allows one-ways between LHR and LGW. Works out at £19.95 all-in for the cheapest car, not much more for a bigger one. Plus a few quid on petrol.

The only caveat is that the rental needs to be between 0800 and 1200, but this tallys well with the arrival of most transatlantics.

Will look into that myself.
