Heathrow to Gatwick: taxi vs other options
For inter-airport transfers, most travellers weigh up three options:
| Option | Journey time | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-booked taxi (this service) | 75 min door-to-door | From £75 for up to 4 | Groups, luggage-heavy trips, early/late flights |
| National Express coach | ~2h 15min | From £30 per person | Solo travellers on a budget with time to spare |
| Train via central London | ~3 hours | From £40 per person | Not recommended for connecting flights |
The taxi is the only option that goes directly between airports without passing through central London. For passengers with tight connection times, this is often the difference between making or missing the next flight.
