Gatwick Airport Taxi

Looking for a Gatwick airport taxi you can actually rely on? We run pre-booked, fixed-price transfers to and from both Gatwick terminals, 24 hours a day. You get your price before you book, your driver tracks your flight, and nothing is added at the end of the journey – not for traffic on the M23, not for a delayed landing, not for the early start.

Most of our Gatwick work comes from London, Surrey, Sussex and Kent, but we’ll take you anywhere: a Heathrow to Gatwick connection, a run down to the Southampton cruise terminal, or a family trip home to Oxford after a fortnight in the sun.

Gatwick taxi prices

Every fare is for the whole vehicle, not per person, and it’s fixed when you book. These are typical one-way prices to Gatwick from popular pickup areas – your exact address can move the price a little either way, so use the quote form above for your journey.

Some of our most-booked routes have their own fixed fares:

Picking up from Gatwick? We add a small short-stay parking charge for meet and greet, and it’s shown in your quote before you pay – never added on the day.

How much is a taxi to Gatwick Airport?

From central London, a saloon to Gatwick typically costs between £65 and £75 with us, depending on where you’re starting. An MPV for a family of five or six is usually £90–£110. From nearby towns like Reigate, Redhill or Horley, fares start from around £35. Long-distance transfers – Oxford, Southampton, Cambridge – are priced by the real road distance, and you’ll see the figure for every vehicle side by side when you get a quote.

The cheapest way to get a taxi to Gatwick is simply to book ahead and choose the smallest vehicle that fits your luggage. A four-seat saloon handles two large cases comfortably; if you’re carrying more, an estate costs a few pounds extra and saves you a squashed journey. Booking a return at the same time knocks a further 5% off.

North Terminal or South Terminal?

Gatwick has two terminals about a mile apart, linked by a free shuttle train that runs every few minutes airside and landside. Your driver will drop you at the right departures forecourt – just tell us your flight number when you book and we’ll check which terminal your airline is using on the day.

• North Terminal – drop-offs are on the upper level departures road; pickups are from the short-stay car park next to arrivals.
• South Terminal – drop-off is on the departures forecourt beside the railway station; pickups use the short-stay car park opposite the arrivals hall.

Airlines do switch terminals from time to time, so always check your latest booking confirmation. If your terminal changes at short notice, call us and we’ll redirect your driver.

Meeting your driver at Gatwick arrivals

With meet and greet – included as standard – your driver waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal holding a sign with your name. We send you their name and mobile number before you land. Once you’re through passport control and have your bags, walk out, find your name board and your driver will take it from there: help with luggage, a short walk to the car and you’re on your way.

We track every inbound flight, so if you land early or an hour late your driver adjusts automatically. You get 60 minutes of free waiting from the moment your flight touches down – usually plenty of time for the border and baggage reclaim. If you’re held up longer, just call or message your driver.

How long does a taxi to Gatwick take?

Friday afternoons, bank holiday weekends and the Monday morning M25 rush can add time, so we’ll suggest a pickup with a sensible buffer when you book. Because your price is fixed, leaving a little earlier to be safe costs you nothing.

Taxi to Gatwick vs the Gatwick Express

The train is a good option if you live near Victoria or London Bridge and travel light. For almost everyone else, a pre-booked car wins on convenience – and often on price once there are two or more of you.

Choose your vehicle

Saloon

A Toyota Prius or similar for up to four passengers with two large suitcases. The go-to for couples and solo business trips.

Estate

Same four seats, twice the boot. Ideal for a family of four heading off for two weeks, or anyone with golf clubs or a pushchair.

Executive

A Mercedes E-Class or similar, with a quieter ride and a smartly dressed driver – good for business travel and client pickups.

MPV 6 and 8 seaters

Ford Galaxy, Ford Tourneo or VW Transporter-style vehicles for families and groups. The 8-seater takes up to eight suitcases, so nobody has to travel separately. Planning a bigger group? See our full fleet.

Why pre-book instead of using the Gatwick taxi rank?

There is a taxi rank outside both terminals, and it works – eventually. The catch is that rank taxis run on a meter, so a slow crawl up the M23 in Friday traffic is paid for by you. After a long-haul flight there can also be a queue, and a rank car won’t necessarily have room for a family’s worth of cases.

A pre-booked Gatwick airport taxi flips that around. The fare is agreed before you travel, the car is chosen to fit your luggage, and the driver is already waiting when you walk out – usually before you’ve even switched your phone off flight mode. For the return trip home, that certainty is worth a lot.

Travelling with children or extra needs

Tell us your children’s ages when you book and we’ll fit the right baby seat, child seat or booster before the driver sets off. Pushchairs fold into the boot of an estate or MPV without a fuss. If anyone in your party needs a little more time or help – a slower walk from arrivals, a folding wheelchair to stow, or a stop on the way – just add a note and your driver will plan for it. Assistance dogs are always welcome.
