What Our Customers Are Saying About Us on Tripadvisor

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.

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

Heathrow pickup — all four terminals

We collect from T2 (Star Alliance, Aer Lingus, ITA), T3 (Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, Qantas, Cathay Pacific), T4 (SkyTeam, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Malaysia Airlines) and T5 (British Airways, Iberia).
Heathrow does not allow private hire pickups on the terminal forecourts. Every taxi collects from the Terminal Parking car park attached to your terminal — a 2–5 minute signposted walk from arrivals. The Heathrow Terminal Parking fee is already in your fixed quote.

Connecting between flights — what we need to know

Connecting traveller checking a phone beside a taxi during a Heathrow to Gatwick airport transfer

Tell us your Heathrow arrival flight number and your Gatwick departure flight time at the booking stage. We track your inbound flight from departure to landing, so if your Heathrow flight is delayed, the pickup time shifts automatically with no extra charge.
For tight inter-airport connections (under 4 hours between your Heathrow landing and Gatwick departure), book the earliest pickup window and consider adding meet & greet to skip the walk to Terminal Parking.

Gatwick drop-off — North or South Terminal

Tell us which terminal you're departing from at booking. The two terminals are physically separate buildings 2 minutes apart by free monorail, with different drop-off forecourts and different access roundabouts off the M23 J9.

Gatwick North Terminal — easyJet, TUI, Norwegian, Vueling, Wizz Air. Postcode RH6 0PJ. Drop-off on the lower-level forecourt between the Sofitel and the multi-storey car park.
Gatwick South Terminal — British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, JetBlue, Emirates, Saudia. Postcode RH6 0NP. Drop-off on the lower-level forecourt.

Your driver knows which junction off the M23 J9 roundabout to take. Going to the wrong terminal at Gatwick can cost 15–20 minutes of inter-terminal transit.

Route — M25 anti-clockwise → M23

The standard Heathrow to Gatwick route is M25 Junction 14 (Heathrow side) → M25 anti-clockwise → exit at Junction 7 → M23 south → exit at Junction 9 for Gatwick. Around 38 miles, typically 54 minutes off-peak.
Heavy M25 traffic between J11 (Chertsey) and J9 (Leatherhead) can extend the journey to 75–90 minutes during rush hour or after an incident. Drivers monitor live traffic and may route via the M23 → A23 if the M25 is gridlocked.

Heathrow to Gatwick taxi fare

A pre-booked Heathrow to Gatwick taxi is £92 fixed for a saloon, regardless of which Gatwick terminal you're departing from.

Route	Saloon fare	Journey time
Heathrow to Gatwick North Terminal	£92	54 mins
Heathrow to Gatwick South Terminal	£92	54 mins

Vehicle options

The £92 fare is for a saloon (up to 4 passengers + 2 large cases + 2 small bags). For larger groups, executive, 6-seater and 8-seater quotes appear at the booking form.
The 8-seater is the standard pick for connecting families with full long-haul luggage — common for passengers landing at Heathrow T3 (Emirates, Qantas, Cathay Pacific) or T4 (Etihad, Qatar Airways, Malaysia Airlines) and connecting onwards from Gatwick.

Why our fare is fixed at £92

Two things set this route apart from other Heathrow journeys:

The Gatwick £10 drop-off charge at North and South Terminal — included in your £92, not added at the kerb
The Heathrow Terminal Parking pickup fee — included in your £92, not added at the kerb

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

How a fixed price beats the alternatives

Two factors set the price:

Black cab from the Heathrow rank: runs on the meter. A Heathrow → Gatwick meter can hit £120–£150 with traffic on the M25, plus the £2.40 rank surcharge.
Ride-hailing app: surge pricing on inter-airport routes (especially 5am and weekends) routinely doubles the standard fare.
Public transport: there is no direct rail link between Heathrow and Gatwick. Options involve a train into Central London plus the Gatwick Express — around 2 hours total with two changes and full luggage.

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

Why pre-book your Heathrow to Gatwick taxi with us

A missed inter-airport connection costs more than a missed Heathrow-to-London journey. Your onward flight is non-refundable, your hotel at the destination is non-refundable, and the next flight may be 24 hours away. A pre-booked £92 fixed-price transfer is insurance against all of that.

The risks of not pre-booking

Black cab from the rank: £120–£150 metered, plus the £2.40 rank surcharge. Subject to availability — at 5am or 11pm you may wait 20 minutes for a cab that can handle the inter-airport run.
Ride-hailing app: surge pricing on weekends and pre-dawn slots can double the fare. No flight tracking, no inter-airport experience.
National Express coach: £25 per person and runs every 1–2 hours, but adds 90 minutes to the journey and won't wait if your Heathrow flight is delayed.
Public transport: no direct rail. Two trains + two changes via Central London = around 2 hours with full luggage.

What's included in every Heathrow to Gatwick transfer

Flight tracking from your Heathrow inbound flight's departure to landing — pickup time adjusts automatically
45 minutes free waiting time after your Heathrow flight lands
Heathrow Terminal Parking pickup fee included
Gatwick £10 drop-off charge included
Named, licensed driver — TfL or Luton Borough Council licensed, DBS-checked, mobile number on confirmation
Vehicle choice — saloon, executive Mercedes, 6-seater MPV or 8-seater minibus
Free child and booster seats for ages 1–12

Recommended minimum connection time

For a Heathrow inbound + Gatwick outbound on the same day, we recommend a minimum of 5 hours between scheduled Heathrow landing and Gatwick departure. That covers:

45–60 minutes for immigration, baggage and walking to Terminal Parking
60–90 minutes drive (with realistic M25 buffer)
60 minutes for Gatwick check-in (or 90 minutes for non-Schengen long-haul)
A 60-minute contingency for delays

Tighter connections work but increase the risk of missing your Gatwick flight. If your Heathrow flight is consistently late or unreliable, build in more buffer.

Booking ahead for connecting flights

Pre-book any time before your Heathrow inbound flight — most inter-airport bookings come in 1–2 weeks ahead. Confirmations arrive by email and SMS, with your driver's name and mobile number sent before pickup.

Free cancellation up to 3 hours before pickup

Plans change — a flight gets cancelled, a connection is rebooked, your travel dates shift. Cancel free of charge any time up to 3 hours before your scheduled pickup — full refund. Cancellations within 3 hours or no-shows may attract a charge to cover driver dispatch costs.

Frequently asked questions about Heathrow to Gatwick taxis

How much is a Heathrow to Gatwick taxi?

A fixed-price saloon taxi from Heathrow to Gatwick is £92 for up to 4 passengers — same price for both North and South Terminal. The Heathrow Terminal Parking pickup fee and Gatwick £10 drop-off charge are both included. No surge pricing, no kerbside top-up.

How long does a Heathrow to Gatwick taxi take?

Around 54 minutes off-peak, covering 38 miles via the M25 (anti-clockwise from Junction 14 to Junction 7) and the M23 south to Junction 9. Allow 75–90 minutes during weekday rush hour (7–9am, 3–6pm) or after an M25 incident between J11 and J9.

What's the minimum time I should leave between my Heathrow and Gatwick flights?

We recommend a minimum of 5 hours between your scheduled Heathrow landing and Gatwick departure. That covers 45–60 minutes for immigration and baggage, 60–90 minutes drive with M25 buffer, 60–90 minutes for Gatwick check-in, plus a 60-minute contingency. Tighter connections work but increase risk.

Do you cover both Gatwick North and South Terminals?

Yes, both. Same £92 fare to either terminal. Tell us which terminal you're departing from at booking — North (easyJet, TUI, Norwegian, Vueling, Wizz Air) or South (British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, JetBlue). Drivers use the correct M23 J9 roundabout exit to avoid the 15–20 minute inter-terminal monorail detour.

What happens if my Heathrow inbound flight is delayed?

We track your inbound flight from departure to landing. If you land late, the pickup time shifts automatically — no extra charge, no phone call needed. For tight Gatwick connections, dispatch contacts you directly if a major delay puts your onward flight at risk, so you can rebook if needed.
