FAQ

Common questions

How do I get a quote for a long distance journey?
Call us on 01494 771000 or email bookings@gilbertsofchesham.com with your journey details — where you're travelling from, your destination, and your preferred date and time. We'll confirm a fixed fare before you book.
Is the fare genuinely fixed, or will it change on the day?
The fare we quote is the fare you pay. No meter running, no traffic surcharges, no surprises. We agree the price upfront and that's that.
Can I book a return journey?
Yes — return journeys are no problem. Just let us know both legs when you book and we'll arrange both at fixed fares. Popular for theatre trips, day visits to London, and events.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?
We cover most destinations across England and Wales. For very long journeys (e.g. Scotland or the far north) call us to discuss and we'll let you know if we can help. There's no harm in asking.
What vehicles are available for long distance?
Saloon cars (up to 4 passengers), 6-seater MPVs, and 8-seater minibuses. Tesla EVs are also available if you'd prefer a zero-emission journey. Request your preference when booking.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. All major cards including American Express are accepted through the Gilberts app. Cash is also welcome. For long distance bookings, payment in advance via the app is the easiest option.
