UK-licensedAn Oxford to Gatwick transfer with Tripyana is a private chauffeur-driven Mercedes, from £330 per car one way; Gatwick to Oxford is from £320.

What does an Oxford to Gatwick transfer include?
A single chauffeur drives the full 85 miles between Oxford and Gatwick, either way. There is no change of vehicle and no stop in London. The fare includes fuel, motorway mileage and airport parking. Every booking covers four points:
Collected at your door
A college lodge, a High Street hotel or a family home in Headington. We arrive at the time in your confirmation.
Dropped at your terminal
Gatwick has two terminals, North and South. Your flight number shows which, and we stop at its departures door.
Met in Gatwick arrivals
After a long flight, your name is on a board just past customs. The first 60 minutes from landing cost nothing.
One fare for the whole car
The price is for the car, not each traveler. Three people and 2 large cases fit an E-Class; seven and 7 fit a V-Class. Child seats are free.
Where does the chauffeur collect me, and where at Gatwick?
Pickup is the Oxford door you choose: a college porter’s lodge, a hotel entrance or your home. College gates are often narrow, so name the entrance a car can reach. Guests based in London can see those colleges on a private Oxford tour from London.
At the Gatwick end, the car stops at departures for the North or South Terminal. Your flight number tells us which one; our Gatwick North and South Terminal guide shows which airlines use which side.
Landing at Gatwick for the drive up to Oxford? Clear customs and look for your name board in the arrivals hall. If you cannot spot it, phone the number in your confirmation before you leave.
How long is the drive from Oxford to Gatwick?
Allow 1 hour 45 minutes on clear roads, and up to 150 at a weekday peak, for about 85 miles. The chauffeur takes the M40 out of Oxford, follows the M25 round the west of London and turns south on the M23 to the airport. Our booking form measures the run at about 1 hour 40 minutes on a weekday morning.
The M25 decides the time. Weekday peaks between the M40 and the M23 add up to 45 minutes, so for a departure we build that margin into the pickup.
Day or night, the fare stays the same. An early flight is the easy case: the motorways are clear before 06:00 and the drive sits at the short end.
| Route | Road distance | Typical drive time |
|---|---|---|
| Oxford city centre to Gatwick South Terminal | about 85 miles | 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes |
| Gatwick South Terminal to Oxford city centre | about 82 miles | allow the same window |
| Gatwick North Terminal, or another Oxford address | shown in the form | allow the same window |
Our booking form gives the weekday-morning mileage. The times allow for normal traffic on the M40, the M25 and the M23.

What does a private car from Oxford to Gatwick cost?
The E-Class fare is from £330, Oxford city centre to the South Terminal, and the seven-seat V-Class from £395. Price follows the mileage for the whole car. The North Terminal or another Oxford address changes it by a few pounds; the booking form shows the exact amount first.

Coming back, South Terminal to Oxford city centre is from £320 in an E-Class and from £380 in a V-Class. We track the flight and the chauffeur waits in arrivals with your name. The first 60 minutes after landing are free.
How long does the Oxford to Gatwick drive take?
Plan on 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes for roughly 85 miles: the M40 out of Oxford, the M25 around west London, then the M23 south. Clear roads give the shorter time. A weekday M25 peak can add 45 minutes, which we include in departure pickups.
Which Gatwick terminal will you drop me at?
North or South, depending on your airline. The flight number in your booking tells us which, and we stop at that terminal’s departures entrance. If your airline switches terminals, let the chauffeur know on the day.
Is the price per person or per car?
Per car. Four friends sharing a V-Class for the 85 miles pay the same one-way fare as two. The headcount never changes it; the car, the terminal and your Oxford address do.
Are child seats included, and can I cancel?
Seats for children cost nothing when you list their ages under extras. Cancel up to 24 hours before pickup at no charge. You pay by card online and receive an emailed receipt. Tripyana Ltd is a UK-licensed company — private hire operator licence PHOP950 · Company No. 16308293.
When should I leave Oxford for a morning flight from Gatwick?
We work it out from your flight. Start from the time your airline wants you at the terminal, then allow up to 2 hours 30 minutes for the drive, which already includes the margin for M25 traffic. Before 06:00 the motorways are clear and the run is quicker, so an early flight is the easiest case. Tell us if you prefer extra time at the airport.
Can a student under 18 travel alone from Gatwick to Oxford?
Yes. A student under 18 flying in alone is booked with our meet-and-greet package for Gatwick arrivals, with a supplement on top. Before the flight we need written consent from a parent or guardian, naming the person who authorises the pickup. The chauffeur then drives the student to the college or host address in Oxford that you give us.
