Gatwick Airport Taxis
Gatwick, south of London on the Surrey/Sussex border, is the UK’s second-busiest airport and runs from two terminals — North and South — linked by a shuttle. Its position off the M23 makes it the natural gateway for the South East and the south coast, as well as a long but common transfer to and from central London. MiniCabFinder lets you compare an estimated fare before booking.
Because the two terminals are a shuttle ride apart, telling your we the right one matters. Journeys split between the London run up the M23/M25 and shorter hops to Brighton, Crawley and the Sussex towns — each with quite different fares.
Terminals & taxi pickups
North and South terminals each have their own taxi provision and are connected by a free inter-terminal shuttle. Confirm your terminal when you book: being dropped at the wrong one means an extra shuttle trip with your luggage.
