Living in Horsham puts you just 12 miles from Gatwick – close enough that a Horsham to Gatwick taxi takes around 20 minutes. It’s a short journey, but getting it right still matters: an on-time pickup for an early flight, a car with room for your suitcases, and a driver waiting when you land. We do all three, at a fixed price agreed before you book.

| Executive | 3 | 3 | £59 | £119 |

Route and journey time
From Horsham town centre, your driver takes the A264 east towards Crawley, joining the A23 and then following signs for the airport. Most journeys take 18 to 25 minutes. At peak times, the stretch around Crawley and the Pease Pottage roundabout can add a few minutes, and we’ll build that into your pickup time for early flights.
Horsham taxi to Gatwick vs the train
Southern runs direct trains from Horsham to Gatwick in around 15 to 20 minutes, and for a solo traveller near the station that’s quick and cheap. But the first trains don’t always get you there early enough for a 6am departure, and if you live out towards Southwater, Roffey or Christ’s Hospital, you’d need a lift to the station anyway. With a pre-booked taxi you leave from your front door at the time that suits your flight, and for a family of four, the fare is often similar to the combined train tickets.
Gatwick to Horsham on your way home
Book your Gatwick to Horsham return at the same time and save 5% on the pair. When you land, your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall at North or South Terminal with a name board. We follow your flight, so early or late landings are covered, with 60 minutes of free waiting from touchdown. You’ll be home in Horsham within half an hour of getting into the car.

Which vehicle?
A saloon is fine for up to four people with two large suitcases. For a family holiday, an estate or 6-seat MPV gives you space for more luggage and a pushchair. Groups of up to eight can travel together in our 8-seater. Child and booster seats are available on request. See the fleet.
When to leave Horsham for Gatwick
Because the journey is short, you can leave later than most. Based on a 22-minute drive plus a small buffer, and the usual advice to arrive two hours before short-haul or three before long-haul:
| Flight departs | Leave by (short-haul) | Leave by (long-haul) |
|---|---|---|
| 06:00 | 03:23 | 02:23 |
| 09:00 | 06:23 | 05:23 |
| 13:00 | 10:23 | 09:23 |
| 18:00 | 15:23 | 14:23 |
| 21:00 | 18:23 | 17:23 |
Tips for Horsham travellers
If you’re flying at peak holiday times, the Gatwick drop-off zones can be busy between 5am and 7am, and a few extra minutes in hand never hurts. For arrivals, the A264 can back up around the Faygate and Pease Pottage roundabouts in the early evening – your driver will take the quickest route on the day. Parking at Gatwick for a week often costs more than a return taxi from Horsham, and nobody has to drive home after a late landing.
