Gatwick airport taxi and Gatwick transfers

Gatwick transfers with the price agreed up front

London Gatwick sits just off the M23 near Crawley, about 30 miles south of central London. It handles more short-haul holiday flights than any other UK airport, which means early starts and crowded trains. A booked Gatwick airport taxi collects you at your door, loads your cases and drops you at the right terminal without changes at Clapham Junction or East Croydon.

North Terminal or South Terminal?

Gatwick has two terminals linked by a free shuttle train, so it matters which one you fly from.

• **North Terminal:** easyJet (most flights), Emirates, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines and TUI
• **South Terminal:** British Airways, Norse Atlantic, Vueling, Wizz Air and Ryanair

Check your booking and add the terminal; our driver then uses the right forecourt for departures, or waits in the right arrivals area when you land.

Gatwick arrivals made simple

Your driver watches your flight and arrives once you have landed. After passport checks and baggage collection, walk into the arrivals hall where the driver holds a name board. Up to 60 minutes of waiting is free from landing, which covers most baggage queues even in August.

Which car should I book?

A standard saloon suits two or three adults, while an estate gives room for pushchairs and extra suitcases. Families of five or six should choose an MPV, and groups heading to a stag party, wedding or Mediterranean cruise can book an 8-seater minibus. Executive cars are popular with Gatwick business passengers travelling to Crawley’s Manor Royal business district or the City.

Cruise and rail links

Many Gatwick passengers continue to Southampton or Dover for a cruise. A Gatwick to Southampton cruise taxi takes about 90 minutes along the M27, and Gatwick to Dover around 1 hour 45 minutes via the M20. We also cover pickups from Brighton, Haywards Heath and Three Bridges stations.

Tips for a smooth Gatwick journey

• Allow two hours before European departures and three hours for long-haul
• The Gatwick drop-off charge is shown in your quote where it applies
• Summer Saturdays are the busiest days, so book a little earlier
• Add a child seat at booking for under-fours, free of charge

Gatwick hotels and parking alternatives

Staying overnight before an early flight? We collect from the Sofitel at North Terminal, the Hilton at South Terminal, the Premier Inn and Holiday Inn on Povey Cross Road, and hotels in Horley and Crawley town centre. A return Gatwick taxi is often cheaper than a week of airport parking for a family, and you avoid the shuttle bus from the long-stay car park.

Business and executive Gatwick transfers

Executive passengers flying from Gatwick to European capitals often need a car at short notice. We provide Mercedes E-Class and V-Class vehicles with drivers in smart dress, and can wait during meetings in Crawley, Gatwick Diamond business parks or the City of London before the return run.

Gatwick taxi prices explained

Your fare is based on distance, vehicle size and the time of day. Journeys from nearby towns such as Horley or Redhill cost much less than a trip from North London or Essex, and late-night travel and larger vehicles cost more than a daytime saloon. Whatever you book, the price on your confirmation is the price you pay, with no meter running in M25 traffic jams.

Meet and greet for families and first-time visitors

Visitors arriving in the UK for the first time can find Gatwick confusing. Our meet and greet service means a driver is waiting inside the terminal, helps with trolleys and pushchairs and explains the route into London. Tell us if you need extra help, for example with a wheelchair or with elderly relatives.
