Overview
What is a Gatwick taxi transfer?
A Gatwick taxi transfer moves you between London Gatwick (LGW) and a chosen address for a price settled at the point of booking. Taxiqo prices these journeys from £80 in a saloon seating four with two large cases.
Gatwick lies 30 miles south of the capital in West Sussex, reached by the M23 and the M25. Reckon on 60 to 90 minutes by road, more during the evening peak on the southern M25. The airport runs two passenger terminals, North and South, linked by an inter-terminal shuttle that takes about two minutes. They're separate buildings with separate forecourts, and a driver sent to the wrong one costs you time you don't have.
Drivers hold private hire licences and the vehicles are plated accordingly. The quoted fare swallows Gatwick's £10 drop-off charge, motorway tolls, ULEZ where a route touches it and VAT. That charge covers a 10 minute stay, then climbs by £1 a minute up to half an hour, and cameras read plates on the way in and out.
What follows sets out Gatwick fares by destination, including the run to Heathrow (for the other direction, see the Heathrow to Gatwick transfer), how the two terminals differ, which vehicle fits your party, everything folded into the price, how the drive stacks up against the Gatwick Express, and the booking steps. Questions at the foot of the page deal with delayed landings, meeting points, group travel, the drop-off fee and amendments.
Why Taxiqo
Why pre-book rather than take the rank
Pre-booking fixes the number before you fly, which matters more at Gatwick than at the closer London airports simply because the distance is greater. A metered run over 30 miles swings hard with traffic. Ours doesn't move.
The other gain is the terminal. Because North and South have separate forecourts, an allocated car already knows which building to sit outside. You skip the shuttle entirely.
- Private hire licensed operator, drivers DBS checked
- One quoted fare, confirmed in writing
- Arrival monitored by flight number, not clock time
- 60 minutes of free waiting from touchdown
- Business accounts and card payment available
- Team reachable around the clock

Coverage
North terminal or South terminal?
Both terminals are served in either direction. Your flight number tells us which one, so you needn't work it out yourself.
South Terminal is the older of the pair and sits directly above Gatwick Airport railway station. North Terminal is a separate building about a mile away. The shuttle between them is free and frequent, but it's a step nobody wants after a red-eye. Naming the terminal at booking removes it.
01
North Terminal
A separate building with its own forecourt and short-stay car parks. Your flight number tells us if you are using it, and your airline shows the terminal on your booking.
02
South Terminal
The older of the two buildings, with its own forecourt. Sits directly over the mainline station.
03
Inter-terminal shuttle
Free automated transit running every few minutes, roughly a two minute ride between the two.
04
Gatwick Airport station
Beneath South Terminal, served by Gatwick Express, Thameslink and Southern services.
What's included
What you get for the quoted fare
Bundled into the price is every cost the trip generates, so the figure agreed at booking is the figure settled at the end.
- Gatwick drop-off charge of £10 for a 10 minute stay
- Short-stay parking when you choose meet and greet
- Motorway tolls where the routing requires them
- ULEZ and congestion charge on journeys entering either zone
- VAT at the standard rate
- A full hour of complimentary waiting after landing

Arrivals
Where does the driver meet you?
Arrivals are served by one of two pickup types. Meet and greet places the driver inside the terminal; a standard pickup meets you at the designated pickup point outside.

Vehicle choice
Which vehicle do you need?
Choose by passenger count first, then by luggage. Count pushchairs, ski bags and golf clubs as large cases. Under-filling a vehicle is the most common cause of a transfer going wrong at the kerb.
| Vehicle | Passengers | Large cases | Example | From |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saloon | Up to 4 | 2 large cases | Toyota Prius or similar | £80 |
| Estate | Up to 4 | 4 large cases | VW Passat Estate or similar | £100 |
| Mercedes E-Class | Up to 3 | 2 large cases | Mercedes E-Class or similar | £110 |
| Mercedes S-Class | Up to 3 | 2 large cases | Mercedes S-Class or similar | £140 |
| Mercedes V-Class | Up to 6 | 6 large cases | Mercedes V-Class or similar | £140 |
| 8 Seater | Up to 8 | 8 large cases | Mercedes Vito or similar | £110 |
| 16 Seater Minibus | Up to 16 | 16 cases | Mercedes Sprinter or similar | £544.30 |
| Range Rover | Up to 4 | 3 large cases | Range Rover or similar | £200 |

Alternatives
Car or Gatwick Express?
Gatwick Express runs non-stop to Victoria in 30 minutes, and on pure line speed no road option touches it. The catch is the same one every airport rail link has. It delivers you to a terminus, not to a doorstep, and the last leg with cases usually eats the saving.
Thameslink costs less and stops more, threading through London Bridge, Farringdon and St Pancras. So rail makes sense travelling light to a station near your destination. A car earns its keep with a family, an early departure, a late arrival or a postcode nowhere near the Brighton main line. Party size then decides which vehicle class to book.

CONTACT USA saloon runs £95 from Gatwick into central London. Four seats, two large cases, roughly 30 miles and 60 to 90 minutes on the M23 and M25. That number is locked at booking, and it swallows the forecourt fee, tolls and VAT.
Yes, North and South alike, arriving and departing. We read the terminal off your flight number, which also catches the occasional last-minute switch. No need to use the inter-terminal shuttle.
No. Live arrival data drives the pickup time, so a delay just shifts it. Your 60 minutes of free waiting starts the moment wheels touch tarmac, which leaves room for passport control and the baggage belt.
Gatwick Express usually costs less on fares alone. A car at £95 into central London covers everyone in it and ends at your door rather than at Victoria, which is what tips it for families and anyone with luggage.
Meet and greet puts your driver in the arrivals hall with a name board, and short-stay parking is already paid. Cases get carried to the car. Choose a standard pickup instead and the driver messages a bay number on the forecourt.
Yes. An eight seater carries eight passengers and eight large cases in one vehicle, which beats splitting a group across two saloons. Larger parties are handled by running more than one car on the same booking reference.
No, it's already in the quote. Gatwick charges £10 for the first 10 minutes and £1 a minute after that, enforced by plate-reading cameras rather than barriers. The operator pays it.
Coverage spans London, Surrey, Sussex and Kent, plus long-distance runs anywhere in England and Wales. Brighton, Croydon, Guildford and Crawley are among the most common. Any UK postcode can be quoted.
Yes, free of charge up to 24 hours before pickup. Ring the team and we'll move the time, the address or the vehicle class. A larger car or a longer route is re-priced, and you see the difference before anything changes.
Heathrow sits closer at 15 miles against Gatwick's 30, so it's quicker and cheaper by road. Gatwick has a large short-haul European schedule, so the choice often comes down to your flight. £130 covers the Gatwick to Heathrow transfer if a connection puts you at the wrong one.
