Terminal to terminal
What the Heathrow–Gatwick transfer covers
You land at one London airport and fly out of the other. The car covers the gap between them, from the arrivals hall where you come through to the terminal you are leaving from.
Gatwick North or South
The two Gatwick terminals are several minutes apart by shuttle, so we confirm which one before the day.
Your flight, tracked
The pickup follows the flight you are arriving on, so a delay on the first leg does not strand you.
Free waiting time
Airport collections include 45 minutes of free waiting for immigration and the baggage belt.
Bags from a long flight
Tell us how many bags you are bringing when you book and we will confirm the right vehicle.
Any hour
Overnight arrivals and early departures are booked the same way, because the office line is answered 24/7.
Who books it

How long does a taxi from Heathrow to Gatwick take?
Typically 55–70 minutes for a drive of about 45 miles, measured over the road network. The lower figure is a clear road; the upper one allows for typical traffic. Leave generous time for your second check-in on top of that.
Do you also go from Gatwick to Heathrow?
Yes, the transfer runs both ways. Gatwick to Heathrow is about 45 miles, typically 55–75 minutes. Tell us whether you land at the North or South terminal so the driver goes to the right one.

Can a group transfer between the airports together?
Yes. The large MPV carries up to 8 passengers. Tell us how many bags you are bringing when you book and we will confirm the right vehicle, or arrange two if the luggage needs it.
