The short answer

How does a transfer between Heathrow and Gatwick work?

A private transfer between Heathrow and Gatwick is the simplest way to make an airport-to-airport connection in London. The drive typically takes 60–90 minutes depending on traffic, running south around the M25 and M23 — with your luggage in the boot the whole way and no changes, platforms or queues in between.

The most common reason travellers book this run is a connecting flight split across the two airports: you land at Heathrow and your onward flight departs from Gatwick (or the reverse). Your driver is scheduled around your actual landing time, meets you in arrivals, and takes you straight to the correct terminal for your next flight.

An honest comparison

Private car, coach or train between the two airports?

There is no direct rail line between Heathrow and Gatwick — every train route means crossing London with your bags. Here is how the options really compare.

To be completely fair: a solo traveller with one cabin bag can do this cheaper by coach. But for a family with luggage — or anyone whose onward flight depends on arriving relaxed and on time — a private heathrow to gatwick taxi alternative with a scheduled chauffeur is the option that removes the stress.

Flight tracking

We watch your flight so you don’t have to

Give us your inbound flight number and we track it live. If your arrival slips, your pickup time moves with it — the driver is in the arrivals hall when you walk out, with free waiting time built in. That matters twice as much on an airport-to-airport run, where your whole day depends on the connection.

How long does a Heathrow to Gatwick transfer take?

Typically 60–90 minutes door to door, depending on traffic on the M25 and M23. Your driver plans the route on the day and schedules the pickup around your actual landing time.

How much luggage fits in the car?

The Mercedes E-Class seats up to 3 passengers with standard luggage, the V-Class carries up to 7 passengers with a full family’s bags, the S-Class seats up to 3, and the Range Rover up to 4. Tell us your bag count when booking and we will confirm the right car in writing.

What happens if my arriving flight is delayed?

We track your flight number live, so your pickup time adjusts automatically and waiting time for a delayed landing is free. The driver meets you in the arrivals hall whenever you actually land.

Should I pre-book the transfer between Heathrow and Gatwick?

Yes — pre-booking guarantees a scheduled driver, a fixed written fare and an arrivals-hall meeting, instead of queuing for an on-demand car with your connection clock ticking. You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before pickup.
