CabsOn runs Gatwick Airport taxi transfers from across London at a fixed fare quoted before you book. North and South terminals both covered, with flight tracking on every inbound transfer and 60 minutes free waiting on arrivals — your driver is in position before you land, no matter how delayed the flight.

Gatwick terminals — North & South

Gatwick has two passenger terminals connected by an inter-terminal shuttle. We drop off and pick up at both:

  • North Terminal — easyJet, Norwegian, Tui, Virgin Atlantic, Wizz Air
  • South Terminal — British Airways, Ryanair, Aer Lingus, Vueling

The drop-off charge at each terminal is included in your fixed fare. For pickup at arrivals, choose meet & greet (driver waits with name board at arrivals exit) or standard collection (driver mobile + registration sent by SMS).

How early should I leave London for Gatwick?

Gatwick recommends arriving 3 hours before long-haul flights and 2 hours before short-haul. From central London, factor in 1.5 hours journey time + 30-minute traffic buffer at peak hours. So: long-haul departure — leave 4.5 hours before; short-haul — leave 3.5 hours before; off-peak overnight (after 22:00) — 2.5 hours is fine.
