Gatwick and the roads south of London

Gatwick lies well to the south of London, in West Sussex near Crawley, with its own spur off the M23. Coming from central London, the route usually crosses south London before joining the motorway, and that urban stretch is where most of the variation in journey time comes from. Journey times depend on traffic and time of day, so for departures we build in a margin and keep an eye on the roads.

Because of where it sits, Gatwick is a natural airport for customers in south London, Surrey, Kent and Sussex, not just the centre of the city. We regularly carry passengers between Gatwick and towns such as Brighton, Guildford, Reigate and Tunbridge Wells, so you are welcome to get a quote that does not touch London at all.

Gatwick has a strong mix of holiday flights and city routes. Early morning departures are common, and so are late evening arrivals, when public transport becomes less frequent. A pre-booked car takes the uncertainty out of both.

North Terminal or South Terminal?

Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, connected by a free shuttle for passengers. They are some distance apart by road, so it is important to know which one you are using before the day. Your airline decides this, and it is shown in your booking confirmation. Tell us when you get a quote, and please let us know if the airline changes it.

On arrival, your chauffeur parks at the correct terminal and meets you in the arrivals area holding a name board. Our team checks your flight status before the pickup, so if you land early or late, the chauffeur's timing is adjusted. The free waiting time and parking arrangements for Gatwick are shown on this page.

If you land at one terminal but your chauffeur has been sent to the other, for instance after a last-minute terminal change, message us straight away. It is usually quicker for you to take the inter-terminal shuttle than for the car to drive round.

Planning a cruise after your flight? Gatwick is a practical starting point for a transfer to Southampton, Portsmouth or Dover.

Questions about Gatwick transfers

Which Gatwick terminal does my airline use?

Your airline decides whether you use the North or South Terminal, and it appears on your booking confirmation. Include it when you book so the chauffeur goes to the right place.

What if I arrive at the wrong Gatwick terminal?

Message us straight away. The terminals are linked by a free passenger shuttle, which is often quicker than the car driving between them.

Can you take me from Gatwick to Brighton or elsewhere in Sussex?

Yes. Gatwick is south of London, so journeys into Sussex, Surrey and Kent are common. Enter your destination and we will quote for it.

My flight lands late at night. Will the chauffeur still be there?

Yes. We plan the pickup around your flight, and our team checks its status before the chauffeur sets off, so late arrivals are covered.
