4.8 out of 5 based on 1257 reviews

I have used this company for airport transfers for a number of years now and I continue to use them because the service provision is professionally managed, always punctual and safely driven in every respect. The administrative side of the operation is effective and efficient and easy to follow, providing a telephone and email service for notification, payment, booking reminder and arrival alert. The last two trips have been with the same driver - Mr Kamran - for whom I have great regard. His driving is safe, efficient, always an early arrival and always with a clean, modern, hi-specification motor car. Many thanks, - you will continue to be my airport transfer company of first choice.

Egle Damkauskaite

We used UK airport taxi from Leamington Spa to Luton and was very happy with their service from the start right to the end. I can not fault them. Even when our flight was cancelled they phoned us to reschedule before I had chance to phone them :) I would definitely recommend and use them again.

I had a wonderful experience with UK Airport taxi. I used them 2 days in a row and both times, the driver showed up early! Their prices are great and so is the communication from the driver. I highly recommend them for your airport travel needs.

Booked 12 hrs prior to needing the taxi, requested two car seats on online form and double checked quickly via email. The taxi was really easy to find and on time, the car was super clean and the car seats were for the correct ages, clean and ready to use. Good safe drive home and really friendly driver, will be using the service again. Thank you for a safe, reliable and good service! I would highly recommend!

Pickup and drop-off points covered along the route

A Gatwick to Heathrow taxi with us collects from Gatwick North or South Terminal arrivals and drops at your Heathrow departures terminal. Both Gatwick terminals are covered at the same £92 fixed fare.

Driver meeting passengers with luggage at Gatwick Short Stay car park for a Gatwick to Heathrow taxi transfer

Tell us your arrival terminal at booking. The two are separate buildings linked by a free shuttle, so the right one saves you time.

Gatwick South Terminal — British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, JetBlue, Emirates, Saudia. Postcode RH6 0NP.
Gatwick North Terminal — easyJet, TUI, Norwegian, Vueling, Wizz Air. Postcode RH6 0PJ.

Standard pickup: once you have your bags, call or WhatsApp your driver on the number in your confirmation. The driver waits in the Short Stay car park and tells you the level and bay. The Gatwick pickup fee is already in your £92.

Prefer not to walk to the car park? Add meet & greet at booking and your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board.

Eight-seater taxi dropping a family with luggage at a Heathrow terminal departures forecourt from Gatwick

Heathrow drop-off - all four terminals

We drop directly at the departures forecourt of your Heathrow terminal. The £7 Heathrow drop-off charge is included in your fare, not added at the kerb.

Heathrow terminal	Airlines
Terminal 2	Star Alliance, Aer Lingus, ITA Airways
Terminal 3	Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, Qantas, Cathay Pacific
Terminal 4	SkyTeam, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Malaysia Airlines
Terminal 5	British Airways, Iberia

Tell us your Heathrow departure flight number at booking. We confirm the right terminal, including for codeshare flights that may leave from a different terminal than your ticket shows.

Route - M23 north then M25 clockwise

The standard route is M23 north from Gatwick (Junction 9), onto the M25 at Junction 7, then clockwise to Junction 14 or 15 for Heathrow. Around 38 miles, typically 54 minutes off-peak.
Heavy M25 traffic between Junction 7 and Junction 14 can stretch the drive to 75–90 minutes at peak times or after an incident. Drivers watch live traffic and reroute when the M25 is blocked.
No Congestion Charge and no ULEZ apply. Gatwick sits outside the ULEZ, and the M23/M25 route stays clear of London's charging zones the whole way.

Gatwick to Heathrow taxi fare

A pre-booked Gatwick to Heathrow taxi is £92 fixed for a saloon, the same price from either Gatwick terminal. The figure you see at quote is the figure you pay.

Vehicle options

The £92 fare covers a saloon for up to 4 passengers. For larger groups or extra luggage, executive, 6-seater and 8-seater quotes appear on the booking form. Passenger and luggage limits are shown on each vehicle card.
The 8-seater is the usual pick for families arriving on a long-haul flight with full luggage and connecting onward from Heathrow.

What's already in your £92 fare

Your fixed quote includes every charge you would otherwise pay separately:

The Gatwick Short Stay pickup fee
The £7 Heathrow terminal drop-off charge
45 minutes free waiting time after your Gatwick flight lands
Flight tracking, with your pickup time adjusted automatically
No Congestion Charge or ULEZ on the M23/M25 route

Time of day does not change the fare. A 6am pickup costs the same £92 as a 6pm one. A bank holiday matches a Tuesday.

How £92 compares to the alternatives

Black cab from the Gatwick rank: metered, and on a long inter-airport run with M25 traffic the meter can pass £100. A rank cab is not guaranteed to accept the Heathrow job.
Ride-hailing app: surge pricing on early-morning and weekend slots routinely lifts the fare well above a fixed quote, with no flight tracking.
Train: there is no direct rail link between Gatwick and Heathrow. The trip means two trains via central London, around 90 minutes with changes and full luggage.
National Express coach: cheaper per person, but slower, and it will not wait if your Gatwick flight lands late.

Pre-booking is the only way to lock in £92 before you fly.

Why pre-book your Gatwick to Heathrow taxi with us

A missed connection at Heathrow costs more than the fare. Your onward flight is often non-refundable, and the next one may be a day away. A fixed £92 transfer with flight tracking is protection against that.

What's included in every transfer

Flight tracking from your Gatwick inbound flight, with pickup time adjusted automatically
45 minutes free waiting time after your Gatwick flight lands
Gatwick pickup fee and the £7 Heathrow drop-off charge, both built in
A named, licensed driver — TfL or Luton Borough Council licensed, DBS-checked, mobile number sent before pickup
Saloon, executive, 6-seater or 8-seater, your choice at booking
Free child and booster seats for ages 1–12

Connecting from Gatwick to a Heathrow flight

If you land at Gatwick and fly out of Heathrow the same day, allow a minimum of 5 hours between your scheduled Gatwick landing and Heathrow departure. That covers immigration and baggage, the drive with an M25 buffer, and Heathrow check-in. Tighter connections work but raise the risk if your inbound flight runs late.

Flexible booking and the return leg

Cancel free of charge up to 3 hours before pickup for a full refund. Travelling the other way as well? Book your Heathrow to Gatwick return journey on the same fixed-fare basis. For full fleet options, all pricing and our wider service, you can pre-book a Heathrow Airport taxi from the main hub.
