  • 🛬Arrivals pickup: Your driver meets you in the main arrivals hall, ground floor, name board in hand. Free parking is not available — meet-and-greet zones are used.

Everything you need to know before booking your inter-airport transfer.

For a group of 4–6 people, an MPV is £135, making the per-person cost very competitive versus public transport.

Every public transport option requires travelling into Central London (Liverpool Street or similar) and back out to Gatwick, typically involving 2 changes and 2.5–3+ hours total journey time.

Note that some easyJet routes operate from North Terminal and others from South — always check your boarding pass.
