Fixed-fare quotes — Gatwick Airport to London.

Pre-book a Gatwick to London taxi with CabsOn for a fixed fare from £70 saloon. Both Gatwick terminals (North and South) covered with flight tracking on your inbound flight, up to 60 minutes free waiting on arrivals, and meet and greet at the terminal exit.

Gatwick is 28 miles south of central London via the M23 and M25. A pre-booked taxi is typically 60 to 90 minutes door-to-door, which compares favourably to the Gatwick Express plus onward taxi or tube combo once you factor in the time to transfer at Victoria.

Gatwick terminal pickup process

Gatwick operates two passenger terminals:

  • North Terminal — TUI, BA short-haul, Vueling, Norwegian
  • South Terminal — easyJet, BA long-haul, Wizz Air, Ryanair

Both terminals are covered at the same fixed fare. Confirm your terminal at booking — drivers wait in the short-stay car park or at the designated pickup zone for your terminal.

Gatwick to London — taxi vs Gatwick Express

Gatwick Express to Victoria is 30 minutes by direct train but you still need onward transport from Victoria — typically 10 to 25 minutes by tube or another taxi. For solo travellers with light luggage, the train wins on time. For families, groups, or anyone with multiple cases, a pre-booked taxi is door-to-door and saves the Victoria transfer hassle.
