A GUIDE TO LONDON GATWICK
Your Gatwick journey starts with the right details
London Gatwick (LGW) is near Crawley in West Sussex and has two passenger terminals: North and South. The terminal matters when booking a pickup, meeting a driver or deciding where to be dropped off before a flight.
For an airport arrival, tell us the flight number and choose a pickup time that allows for landing, passport control and luggage collection. For departures, allow time for traffic and the check-in advice from your airline. We show vehicle choices for your passenger and luggage requirements before you book.

Travelling to Gatwick or arriving in the UK?
A departure needs a different plan from an arrival. Here is what to check before you request your quotation.
Taxi to Gatwick Airport
Confirm your departure terminal and airline check-in requirements. Choose a collection time from your home, hotel or other UK address that leaves a practical allowance for road conditions.

What to know about a Gatwick airport pickup
Keep the flight number accurate
Providing the correct flight number helps us monitor the arrival and adjust planning for normal flight delays. If your flight changes number, is diverted or is cancelled, contact support.
Know when waiting starts
Airport pickups include an initial 30 minutes of free waiting, including the initial parking allowance. Waiting or parking charges may apply after the included period under your booking terms.
Choose for luggage, not just seats

ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BOOK
Gatwick Airport transfer questions
Practical information about terminals, meeting your driver, booking changes and journey preparation.
Do I need to know whether my flight uses Gatwick North or South Terminal?
Yes. Gatwick has North Terminal and
South Terminal, so the correct terminal matters for
both arrivals and departures. Check your airline or flight information
before booking and let us know if the terminal changes later.
How does Meet and Greet work for a Gatwick pickup?
Gatwick Airport pickups are arranged as
Meet and Greet collections. After leaving baggage
reclaim and completing the necessary arrival formalities, proceed into
the arrivals area and follow the meeting instructions for your terminal.
Where should I go after arriving at Gatwick to meet my driver?
Check the current terminal meeting points on this page
and follow any instructions your driver sends for your specific booking.
North and South Terminal collections may use different landmarks. If you
cannot locate your driver, call the number provided for your booking or
contact our team before leaving the airport.
What happens to my Gatwick pickup if my flight is delayed?
When valid flight details are supplied, we monitor the flight and use
updated arrival information when planning the airport pickup. If your
flight number changes, the flight is diverted or your travel plans
change materially, please contact us as soon
as possible.
How much time should I leave between landing and my Gatwick pickup?
Allow enough time for the aircraft to reach its stand, passengers to
disembark, passport control where applicable, baggage collection and
customs. The right pickup time depends on your flight and circumstances,
so avoid selecting a collection time that leaves too little time to
reach Arrivals.
Can I arrange an early-morning transfer to Gatwick?
Yes. Gatwick departures operate throughout the day, including early
morning periods. Choose your pickup time with enough allowance for the
road journey, possible traffic and the check-in or airport arrival time
recommended by your airline.
What vehicle should I choose for a Gatwick family or holiday journey?
Use both the passenger capacity and
luggage capacity displayed during booking. Holiday
journeys can involve several suitcases, pushchairs or other bulky
items, so choose the vehicle for the actual luggage travelling rather
than passenger numbers alone.
Can I book my Gatwick departure and return airport pickup together?
Yes. You can arrange outward and return Gatwick journeys together.
Each leg has its own date, pickup time, route and terminal or flight
information where relevant.
Can I change the terminal or other details after booking?
Eligible booking details may be changed before the applicable amendment
deadline. Customers with an account can make eligible changes through
their customer dashboard. Otherwise,
contact us before the deadline. Changes
requested after the deadline may not be possible.
What should I do if I cannot locate my driver at Gatwick?
Check that you are at the correct terminal and meeting point and look
for any calls or messages from your driver. If driver details have
been supplied, contact the driver first. If you still need assistance,
contact our support team before leaving the
airport.
