You pre pay a local one and they will pick you up. It's very simple.

Never used one. Never will use one. All of their drivers should be deported.

I find all Uber drivers drive perfectly well. Maybe you just had a one off bad experience, defence?

I wouldn't use uber they can't bloody drive and don't have the correct insurance, not a good combination.

What DaveT said.
When know what time you're due to arrive at Blackfriars you can use Uber Scheduled Rides to ensure there's a driver there waiting for you.

Mike. Thameslink run all night from Gatwick. That time may only be a couple an hour but that will get you into Blackfriars, Farringdon or St Pancras and then you can get an uber cab

I just checked and scheduled Uber rides are only currently available in London zones 1-3.
You could get out of Gatwick and use the app in the hope that there is a driver nearby, but if you're due to land at 2am then it's probably best to pre-book with a private hire firm.

If you can't get a relative to pick you up,ask one to pre book a Dagenham cab firm giving your flight details. The firm I use in Goodmayes require £20 deposit,I would think this would be the normal practice.

Moose i was just hoping to join the uber revolution a lot of people swear by it I'll probably end up phoning the company that took me but did that before and waited for over an hour freezing my tits off as they obviously hadn't sent it until I phoned to check where it was

the cabs at the airport will be much more expensive than if you book your local firm to collect you.

No, I'm just being a wanker. On a serious note why don't you think a taxi at Gatwick airport will not take you to Dagenham at 2am?
Dagenham cab firms should be able to give you a price to come and collect you, they'll ask for your flight no so the cabbie can keep an eye on it for delays.
