What the Guildford to Gatwick transfer includes
Gatwick is the second-nearest airport to Guildford after Heathrow, and most of the route is motorway. Each booking, in either direction, comes with the same essentials.
The usual route
Out of Guildford on the A3 to the M25, anticlockwise to the M23, then the airport spur.
Flight tracking
Collections from Gatwick follow the live arrival time, so an early or late landing moves the pickup.
Waiting time
45 minutes' free waiting on Gatwick pickups, for passport control and the baggage hall.
Your choice of car
Standard saloon, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, medium MPV, or the large MPV for up to 8 passengers.
Early flights
Book ahead for any departure before about 6am; early flights are a large part of our work.

How your fixed price works
Your Guildford to Gatwick fare is set when you book, not when you arrive. A slow stretch of the M25 is our problem rather than an extra on your bill, because the price is agreed before the journey starts.

The return leg
Gatwick to Guildford
LGWGLDComing home through Gatwick is the same booking in reverse: we collect you at the airport and drive you back to Guildford, about 36 miles by road. North and South terminals are linked by a free shuttle train of about two minutes, so we confirm which one you land at before the day. Meet-and-greet can be added on request.
Your Guildford driver works from the live flight status rather than the timetable, with 45 minutes' free waiting on the pickup. If there are more of you than a saloon suits, book the 8 seater taxi for the Gatwick to Guildford run and tell us how many bags are coming so we can confirm the right vehicle. As with the outward trip, the Gatwick fare is agreed before you travel.

FAQ
Guildford to Gatwick taxi questions
What people ask before booking the Guildford to Gatwick run, answered from the measured route and from how the office takes bookings. Anything else, ask on WhatsApp.
How long does a taxi take from Guildford to Gatwick?
Typically 45–60 minutes. The lower figure is quiet, off-peak running; the higher one allows for normal weekday traffic on the M25 and the M23. For an early flight, plan around the upper end.
How far is Gatwick from Guildford?
About 36 miles by road. That is the driving distance rather than the straight-line distance, so it reflects the route a car actually takes from Guildford to the terminal.
How much is a taxi from Guildford to Gatwick?
We quote a fixed price before you travel rather than running a meter, so the figure you are given is the figure you pay. Send the date, time, terminal and vehicle on WhatsApp, or call 01483 830830, for a price.
Can you pick me up from Gatwick and take me to Guildford?
Yes. Your driver parks in the short-stay car park at your terminal and can meet you in arrivals with a name board. We track the inbound flight, so a delayed landing does not mean a missed pickup, and 45 minutes' free waiting time is included.
Which terminal do you use at Gatwick?
Both. Gatwick has a North Terminal and a South Terminal, linked by a free shuttle that takes about two minutes. Tell us which one you fly from when you book, and we drop you at that terminal or meet you in its arrivals hall.
Do you run this journey at night?
Yes. The office takes bookings 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and early-morning departures from Guildford are a large part of what we do. Book ahead for anything before about 6am so a car is allocated to you.
Is Gatwick or Heathrow closer to Guildford?
Heathrow is closer, about 27 miles, 35–50 minutes, against 36 miles, 45–60 minutes for Gatwick. Both are straightforward runs, so the choice usually comes down to where your flight goes from. We quote either at a fixed price.
