Fixed-price taxi from Haywards Heath, West Sussex to London Gatwick Airport, from £38. 17 miles · 25–40 minutes via A272/A23. Both terminals, TfL-licensed chauffeur, live flight tracking, meet and greet in arrivals. No surge pricing, ever.
A fixed-price taxi from Haywards Heath to Gatwick Airport starts from £38 for a standard saloon with Get London Transfer — the ideal door-to-door alternative to the rail service for Mid-Sussex residents, families and businesses heading to London's second airport. Haywards Heath is a town in West Sussex with a population of around 34,000, sitting in the RH16 postcode and functioning as the principal rail and commercial hub for Mid-Sussex. Gatwick is 17 miles north via the A272 and A23, typically a 25-40 minute journey. Our fare is locked in when you book; no meter, no surge pricing, no Gatwick airport drop-off surcharge, and no peak-hour uplift.
The route runs via the A272 eastbound from Haywards Heath town centre, joining the A23 southbound at Warninglid, continuing south past Crawley Down and Pease Pottage, then taking the A23 Gatwick slip-road directly into the airport terminal road network. We drop at either North Terminal (British Airways, easyJet, Virgin Atlantic, TUI, Norse Atlantic) or South Terminal (Jet2, Wizz Air, Ryanair Dublin services, Emirates to Dubai) based on your airline — tell us the flight number at booking and we confirm the correct terminal. The entire route is A-road or dual-carriageway, meaning traffic is predictable and our drivers monitor live conditions on the A23 and A272.
The main public-transport alternative is the Southern Railway / Thameslink train from Haywards Heath Railway Station to Gatwick Airport — 15-20 minutes, £8.90-£14.90 single. For a solo passenger travelling light during daytime hours, this is the cheapest option. However, the train doesn't run before 5am (first service) or after midnight (last service), cannot handle large families comfortably, adds platform-wait time plus walk-to-station time to the journey, and creates luggage-dragging problems that a door-to-door taxi eliminates entirely. For 2+ passengers our £38 fixed taxi shared is cheaper per head than two train tickets. For pre-dawn flights (6am and 7am Jet2, easyJet and Ryanair departures requiring 4am or 5am pickups) the taxi is the only option.
We collect from every RH16 postcode area — central Haywards Heath, Lindfield, Scaynes Hill — plus surrounding RH17 (Cuckfield, Ardingly, Handcross), RH15 (Burgess Hill, Hassocks), and rural Mid-Sussex addresses including country estates, private schools (Ardingly College, Worth School, Handcross Park Prep, Hurstpierpoint College), and weekend-hotel venues across the High Weald. Pre-dawn pickups from Haywards Heath for early Gatwick departures are a regular part of our service. Return Gatwick-to-Haywards-Heath pickups include flight tracking and meet-and-greet in North or South terminal arrivals with a name board. Book by phone on 020 8888 9988, via WhatsApp on +44 7427 249103, or online — confirmation within minutes, 24 hours a day.
