Where Does the Driver Meet You at Gatwick Airport?
In the arrivals area you walk into, holding a board with your name on it. Nothing is left to arrange after you land: the meeting point is written into your confirmation email before you fly.
Just past the exit doors
In the hall your own flight lands into, North or South, so there is no shuttle to catch and no bags to move twice on the way to the car.
We know when you actually land
Your flight number is watched live and the pickup moves with the aircraft — land ahead of schedule and the driver is already standing there.
Free waiting from touchdown
The clock starts when the wheels hit the runway rather than at the timetabled hour — room enough for passport control and the baggage belt.
Flights that land after midnight
Handled like any other booking. The pickup follows your aircraft, not office hours.
North or South Terminal? Know Yours Before You Arrive
Gatwick has two completely separate terminals linked by a free shuttle. Knowing your terminal in advance saves you at least fifteen minutes and tells your chauffeur exactly where to wait with your name board.
Gulf carriers and easyJet
Emirates, Qatar Airways, Gulf Air, SWISS and Singapore Airlines fly from here, along with most easyJet flights. Arriving from Dubai or Doha? You are most likely landing here.
British Airways, Turkish and European routes
British Airways, Turkish Airlines, Air India, Ryanair, Wizz Air, Vueling and Norwegian use the South Terminal.
Whichever terminal you land at, your chauffeur meets you inside your own arrivals hall, so there is no shuttle to take with your luggage. The full airline list is in our Gatwick North and South Terminal guide.
How Far Are London’s Districts From Gatwick?
Gatwick lies south of London and is further from the city than Heathrow. The distances below are by road, and the drive to Mayfair takes 77 minutes at night and up to 132 at the 07:00 weekday peak, by our own hour-by-hour data; the Saturday peak is 123 minutes at 12:00.
The City of London
The closest central district to Gatwick, because the road enters the city from the south-east.
Kensington and Knightsbridge
The luxury residential districts west of the centre, and the summer base for most Gulf families.
Mayfair and Park Lane
The heart of luxury London and home to the largest five-star hotels, reached across the Thames bridges.
Edgware Road
The Arab street of London with its restaurants and cafés, and the furthest of the western districts from Gatwick.
It is a longer drive than from Heathrow, which is why one car from the arrivals hall to the hotel door, with no second leg and no luggage to move again, makes such a difference.
Hotels Near Gatwick Airport for a Transit Night, and Where They Sit
If your flight lands late or leaves at dawn, the hotels around Gatwick sit at three distances: inside the terminal, along a covered walkway, or a few minutes away by car. We drive to all of them, and the fare to an airport hotel appears in the booking form once you type its name.
Hotels within the South Terminal building
BLOC and YOTELAIR sit inside the South Terminal itself: compact rooms built for a few hours of sleep between two flights, with no need to step outside.
Hotels linked to both terminals
Sofitel joins the North Terminal and Hilton the South, each by a covered footbridge, which suits families travelling with several cases.
Crawley and Horley hotels
The largest group: Premier Inn, Travelodge, Holiday Inn and others at a range of rates. None has a walkway, so the last stretch is a short drive to the door.
Or straight into town?
Staying more than one night, most guests head into central London directly from the arrivals hall: sixty to ninety minutes to Mayfair, Knightsbridge or Edgware Road at a fixed fare.
Looking for a family-friendly hotel close to London Gatwick with more space? Sofitel and Hilton, the two linked to the terminals, are the nearest: larger rooms, a covered walk with no step into the rain, and a driver at their door at any hour of the night.
Going the Other Way: Central London to Gatwick Airport
The fixed fare works in both directions. On the way out your driver collects you from your hotel or address and sets you down at your departure terminal, and pre-dawn flights are an ordinary booking here rather than a special request.
When does the driver arrive?
We work backwards from your departure time, the road and the check-in window the airport advises: two hours ahead for European flights, three for long-haul.
One booking, two journeys
Add the return leg to the same booking and the pair is confirmed together, each leg priced on its own and agreed before you travel.
Connecting without entering town
Moving between two London airports is a journey of its own with its own rate, not two separate transfers stitched together.
Tell us the case count
The number of bags decides the car more often than the number of passengers does, and a full boot is the usual surprise on the way out.
How to Book Your Gatwick Transfer in Three Steps
Under two minutes from start to finish, and the confirmation reaches your inbox in writing as soon as the payment clears.
Enter the route and flight number
The terminal you land at and the address you are heading for, with the flight number so the pickup can follow it.
Choose the car
An E-Class carries three, the V-Class takes up to seven, and the S-Class or Range Rover suit an arrival meant to feel like part of the trip.
Pay securely online
The final amount sits on screen before you confirm, and the email that follows carries the details of your journey.
Send the route and we price it
Use the contact form with your route and date, and the reply comes back with the fare and the cars free that day.

Is the service suitable for families traveling with children?
Absolutely — we offer spacious vehicles, child seats on request, and chauffeurs who respect families’ privacy, making it ideal for travelers from all over the world.
Is the Gatwick transfer price fixed or does it change?
The Gatwick transfer price is fixed and confirmed at the time of booking. It includes all costs and fees, so there are no surprises later. Waiting related to delays does not increase the fare. The amount agreed at booking is the amount you pay.
Can I book in advance before arriving in London?
Yes, you can book your Gatwick transfer before you arrive in London, and we recommend doing so. Advance booking lets us have the right vehicle ready for your passenger count and luggage. Your driver is then arranged for your arrival at Gatwick without last-minute uncertainty.
What vehicle types are available for the Gatwick transfer service?
We offer luxury sedans such as Mercedes, family cars and spacious vans for groups such as the Mercedes V-Class. Sedans suit smaller parties, while the family cars and vans give larger groups more room for passengers and luggage. Choose the option that best suits your needs.
Where does the driver meet me at Gatwick?
Inside the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands into, North or South, holding a board with your name on it. The exact meeting point is written in your confirmation email, and because we follow your flight number the driver is already waiting when you walk through the doors.
Can I book the return from London to Gatwick in the same booking?
Yes. Add the return leg while booking and both journeys are confirmed together in one email, each with its own agreed fare. For the trip back, the driver collects you from your hotel or address at a time worked out from your departure and the hour your airline asks you to be at the airport.
Are your chauffeurs licensed?
Yes. Every journey is a pre-booked, insured private hire carried out by a professional chauffeur, and our operator licence and company numbers are printed at the foot of this page. The car that arrives is the class you booked, with the driver briefed on your flight and destination.
How much is a Gatwick transfer to central London in US dollars?
About $225 for the Mercedes E-Class and $265 for the V-Class at the current rate — estimates only. Fares are set and charged in pounds sterling, so your card issuer’s exchange rate on the day decides the exact dollar amount. The price covers the car, not each passenger. The pound fare is fixed per car and confirmed in writing when you book.
Is a private transfer from Gatwick to central London worth it?
For arrivals with luggage or children, yes. Gatwick is about 30 miles south of the city, the chauffeur is already waiting in the arrivals hall when you clear customs, and the fare is agreed before you fly. You go door to door in one car, and a delayed landing costs nothing extra.
Prefer a chauffeur waiting at arrivals with a name board — in either direction, at a fixed £165? See the full Gatwick chauffeur service.
