Gatwick airport chauffeur transfers are the second most popular route we operate after Heathrow. Gatwick handles over 30 million passengers a year across two terminals, and the 30-mile journey to Central London makes a professional chauffeur service the most comfortable and reliable option -especially for business travellers and families.
This guide covers both terminals, pickup logistics, journey times, and pricing for Gatwick chauffeur transfers with Klass.
North Terminal
Gatwick North Terminal serves British Airways (long-haul), easyJet (some routes), Turkish Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, and several other carriers.
- Arrivals -your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals hall exit on the ground floor, holding a name board with your name.
- Pickup vehicle -parked in the North Terminal short-stay car park, directly connected to the terminal. Walk time: 3-4 minutes from the meet point.
- Drop-off (departures) -your chauffeur drives directly to the terminal forecourt drop-off zone. Closest point to check-in.
South Terminal
South Terminal handles easyJet (most routes), Wizz Air, Norwegian, and British Airways (short-haul).
- Arrivals -similar setup to North Terminal. Your chauffeur is inside the arrivals hall near the exit barrier.
- Pickup vehicle -South Terminal short-stay car park, attached to the terminal via a covered walkway. Walk time: 3-5 minutes.
- Note -if you land at South but need to collect someone from North (or vice versa), the inter-terminal shuttle takes 2 minutes. Your chauffeur will coordinate both pickups.
Gatwick to London: Journey Times & Routes
Gatwick is approximately 30 miles south of Central London. Journey times depend heavily on the M23/A23 corridor and time of day.
| Destination | Distance | Off-Peak | Peak Hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central London (Mayfair) | 30 miles | 55-70 min | 75-100 min |
| City of London | 32 miles | 55-75 min | 80-110 min |
| Canary Wharf | 35 miles | 60-80 min | 85-115 min |
| Brighton | 28 miles | 35-45 min | 45-60 min |
| Surrey (Guildford) | 30 miles | 40-55 min | 55-75 min |
Your chauffeur knows the optimal routes and will use real-time traffic data to choose between the M23/A23 direct route, the M25 orbital, or local alternatives.

Why Not Take the Gatwick Express?
The Gatwick Express runs to Victoria Station in 30 minutes -but then you still need a taxi to your final destination. When you factor in the walk to the platform, the wait for the train, and the onward cab, the total journey time is similar to a direct chauffeur transfer. The cost difference is smaller than people expect.
With a chauffeur, you travel door-to-door in a private vehicle. No luggage on escalators, no standing on crowded trains, no queuing for a taxi at Victoria. For families with children, business travellers with equipment, or anyone arriving after a long flight -it is far better.
Gatwick Chauffeur for Departures
For outbound flights, we recommend booking your pickup 3.5 hours before departure for long-haul and 2.5 hours before for European flights. This accounts for the journey time plus a comfortable check-in window.
Your chauffeur will confirm the exact pickup time with you the evening before, factoring in real-time traffic forecasts for your travel window.
Connecting from Gatwick to Heathrow
Inter-airport transfers are one of our specialities. Gatwick to Heathrow takes approximately 60-90 minutes depending on traffic (via M25). We handle connections for passengers with tight schedules and coordinate timing with both flight arrivals and departures.
