Heathrow to Gatwick Taxi: Route Snapshot

How Does the Heathrow to Gatwick Taxi Transfer Work?

Changing airports can become difficult when you are unsure where to meet the driver, which terminal you need, or how much time baggage reclaim will take. Transfers 247 keeps the process clear from booking until drop-off.

1. Share Your Flight and Terminal Details

Book your transfer with your Heathrow arrival terminal, Gatwick departure terminal, flight number, travel date, passenger count, and luggage details. This helps us send the right vehicle and plan the correct pickup point.

2. Receive Booking Confirmation

You receive confirmation with your journey details and pickup instructions. For airport pickups, the flight number matters because it helps the driver follow your arrival time rather than relying only on the scheduled landing time.

3. Meet Your Driver After Arrival

After baggage reclaim, customs, and immigration, follow the meeting instructions sent with your booking. Your driver will meet you at the agreed point and help you with your luggage.

4. Travel Directly to Gatwick

Your driver takes the M25 and M23 route toward Gatwick. You are dropped at the correct terminal, either North Terminal or South Terminal, based on your airline and booking details.

About the Heathrow to Gatwick Route

The usual road route from Heathrow to Gatwick follows the M25 before joining the M23 toward Gatwick Airport. From the M23, drivers follow airport signs for either North Terminal or South Terminal. The exact route can change when there is heavy congestion, roadworks, or an incident on the motorway.
In clear traffic, the journey often takes around 45 to 60 minutes. Morning traffic, late-afternoon traffic, bad weather, or accidents on the M25 can extend that time. For a connecting flight, plan for the slower end of the range rather than the best-case journey time.
This route is common for passengers changing between airlines, traveling on separate tickets, starting a holiday from Gatwick after landing at Heathrow, or moving between airport hotels. It is also useful for families with children, travelers carrying checked baggage, and business passengers who need a direct car instead of several public transport changes.
If you land at Heathrow Terminal 2, Terminal 3, Terminal 4, or Terminal 5, tell us the correct terminal when booking. At Gatwick, confirm whether your airline departs from North Terminal or South Terminal before travel.

Frequently Asked Questions — Heathrow to Gatwick Taxi

How much is a taxi from Heathrow to Gatwick?

A Heathrow to Gatwick taxi price depends on your travel date, pickup terminal, vehicle type, passenger count, and luggage requirements.

Is three hours enough to transfer from Heathrow to Gatwick?

Three hours can be tight, especially when you are arriving from an international flight or traveling on separate tickets. You may need to clear immigration, collect checked bags, meet your driver, travel on the M25, and check in again. Four hours or more gives you a safer buffer.

What happens if my Heathrow flight is delayed?

Transfers 247 uses your flight details to follow airport arrival changes. If your flight is delayed, the driver can adjust the pickup plan based on the updated arrival time. Contact us as soon as possible if there is a major delay, diversion, cancellation, or terminal change.
