Transfers to Gatwick Airport
Travelling to Gatwick Airport for a flight? A pre-booked transfer lets you arrange your pickup before your travel day and travel directly from your home, hotel, office or another address to the airport.
Gatwick Airport is connected to the M23 and M25, so road journey times can vary considerably depending on traffic, time of day and your starting location.
For an airport departure, allow enough time for:
- Your journey to Gatwick
- Traffic delays
- Airport drop-off
- Check-in
- Security
- Luggage
For example, passengers travelling from Crawley or Horley will normally need less road travel time than passengers travelling from Central London or further across Surrey and Sussex.
For an early flight, we recommend allowing additional time rather than planning your pickup around the minimum possible journey time.
Gatwick North and South Terminal Drop-Offs
Gatwick Airport has two passenger terminals:
- North Terminal
- South Terminal
Your booking should specify the correct terminal so that your driver knows where you need to be dropped off.
If you are unsure which terminal your airline uses, check your booking or the latest information provided by the airline before travelling.
