Prices are per vehicle, not per person, and include tolls, the Silvertown/Blackwall tunnel or Dartford charges where used, airport drop-off/pick-up fees and luggage. Book the return at the same time and save 10%. 30% deposit online, balance on the day; free cancellation up to 6 hours before pickup.
From the North or South Terminal the route is the M23 and A23 towards south London, then across the river through the Blackwall or Silvertown Tunnel to the Royal Docks - or, when south London is slow, the M25 east and the Dartford Crossing onto the A13. Tunnel and crossing charges are inside the fixed fare.
ExCeL's address for drop-off is One Western Gateway, Royal Victoria Dock, London E16 1XL. Drivers do not need the car park (E16 1FR) - you are dropped at the doors.
By train it is Gatwick Express or Thameslink into London, then a change onto the Elizabeth line for Custom House - typically 75-100 minutes with at least one change. It works for a light traveller; with luggage, kit or a group the car is door to door with no changes.
