Minicab from Heathrow to Gatwick
Estimate for a saloon, one way, in the daytime, based on the road distance. Your exact price is confirmed when you request a booking.
The Heathrow-to-Gatwick transfer is the classic airport-to-airport connection, looping anticlockwise around the southern M25 for about 45 miles between London’s two biggest hubs. Travellers with a self-connection between flights lean on it heavily, because a single door-to-door minicab is far simpler than dragging luggage through trains or coaches.
The catch is the M25 itself, which can be heavily congested and turn a straightforward drive into a slow crawl. For a tight connection, allowing generous time and comparing an estimate in advance is essential.
Heathrow Airport to Gatwick Airport minicab FAQs
How long does the Heathrow to Gatwick minicab take?
Typically 60–90 minutes for the roughly 45-mile M25 loop, but the M25 is prone to delays. For a flight connection, allow much more time than the best-case figure.
Is a minicab better than the coach between Heathrow and Gatwick?
For a tight or late connection with luggage, a door-to-door minicab is more flexible and direct. Coaches are cheaper but less frequent and slower. Compare the estimate for your timing.
Should I give both terminals when booking?
Yes — note your Heathrow terminal and your Gatwick terminal (North or South) so we pick up and drop off in the right places.
