Why a taxi beats the train

The clincher for this route: there is no direct train between Heathrow and Gatwick. By rail you have to ride into central London, cross the city between mainline stations, then come back out — three trains and three fares. A private car is a single leg, door to door.

How much is a Heathrow to Gatwick taxi?

A fixed Saloon fare starts at £64, agreed when you book — the price you see is the price you pay, with the M25, meet & greet and flight tracking included and no surge if your flight lands late. Bigger vehicles cost more in total but far less per head — an 8-seater works out at about £13 a person.

Taxi vs train vs coach

An honest comparison so you can pick what suits your trip. Figures are approximate.

OptionDoor-to-door timeApprox. costBest for
Private taxi60–90 minFrom £64 per carGroups, luggage, tight connections
Coach (direct)1h15–1h30 (scheduled)~£25–35 ppLowest budget, no rush, light bags
Train (via London)1h45–2h15 inc. changes~£35–55+ ppSolo travellers, no heavy luggage

A direct coach runs between the airports; the train does not — it routes through central London. For two or more people with bags, a fixed taxi fare is usually the easiest and often the best value — split between four, the £64 Saloon is about £16 each.

The route, journey time & meet and greet

~45 miles on the M25

Heathrow (J15) to Gatwick (J9a), almost entirely on the M25. We plan your pickup around real traffic, not a best-case time.

60–90 minutes

Typical door-to-door time; rush hour and the M23 interchange can add to it, so late and early transfers run quickest.

Meet & greet

Your driver waits in arrivals with a name board across Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5, with 60 minutes' free waiting from landing.

Flight tracking

We track your inbound flight and adjust the pickup automatically — an early or delayed landing is covered at no extra cost.
