Portsmouth to Gatwick: Distance, Drive Time & A27 Route
Portsmouth sits on Portsea Island, and every airport run starts by clearing the island onto the A27. Your driver follows the A27 east along the coastal plain, skirting Chichester and Arundel, before turning north onto the A24 and A29 towards Gatwick and dropping onto the airport approach roads for the North or South Terminal. Because so much of the journey is fast dual carriageway, the timing is predictable outside the morning peak, and an early start clears the worst of the Chichester congestion. Drivers who know the route will watch the coast-road traffic and, when the A27 is heavy around the junctions, adjust the approach through the Arun valley to keep you moving.

Gatwick Airport Taxi Routes Across Hampshire and Sussex
Our A27 coverage reaches right along the south coast. Heading east towards the airport, our Chichester to Gatwick taxi picks up the same fixed-fare, no-changes run through the cathedral city, while an Arundel to Gatwick taxi joins the A27 and A29 for the climb north to the terminals.
To the west and along the coast we look after the wider region too. Gatwick transfers from Southampton take the M3 and M25 for the longer run east with the same transparent pricing, and for travellers on the West Sussex coast our Bognor Regis airport cab service handles the journey with meet-and-greet on the return leg.
Wherever your journey begins in Hampshire or West Sussex, every fare is fixed in advance and every driver is licensed and DBS-checked. Check your town against our full list of areas we serve.

Portsmouth to Gatwick Transfers for Every Kind of Trip
Business & Commuter Travel
Portsmouth's naval base, dockyard and defence employers send travellers out through Gatwick all year round, and a fixed-fare car beats timing a slow coastal train with a laptop bag. There is no change to worry about and the fare is locked when you book. For early departures the driver arrives before dawn so you reach check-in with the buffer a connecting rail journey can never guarantee.
Family Holidays
Travelling from Southsea or Cosham with children and a boot full of cases is far simpler door to door. The driver loads the luggage, fits any child or booster seats you asked for at booking, and on the way home meets you inside the correct arrivals hall with a name board so nobody is hunting for a pickup point after a long flight.
Cruise, Ferry & Continental Connections
Portsmouth International Port and the Isle of Wight and Continental ferry terminals bring passengers into the city who need to fly onward from Gatwick. We time the pickup around your sailing or docking, take the whole party and its luggage in one vehicle, and run the fixed-fare journey east on the A27 straight to your terminal, so a cruise-to-flight or ferry-to-flight connection stays simple.
Students & University of Portsmouth
The University of Portsmouth draws students who fly through Gatwick at the start and end of each term, often with more luggage than a train comfortably allows. A pre-booked car from halls or a Fratton address takes the whole load in one run, with the fare agreed up front so there are no surprises on a student budget.

Portsmouth to Gatwick Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our Portsmouth to Gatwick taxi service including pricing, journey times, coverage areas, and what is included with every booking. Visit our FAQ page for more.
How much does a taxi from Portsmouth to Gatwick cost?
Your fare is fixed and shown in the price table above, starting with the saloon and rising by vehicle size. It is an all-in figure with no surge pricing, so the number you see when you book is the number you pay, whatever the traffic on the day.
How long does the Portsmouth to Gatwick journey take?
Allow roughly the drive time shown above. Most of the route is fast dual carriageway along the A27, A24 and A29, so outside the morning rush the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for the coast-road section around Chichester and Arundel.
What is the best route from Portsmouth to Gatwick?
The standard run clears Portsea Island onto the A27 east, then turns north on the A24 and A29 to the airport approach roads. When the A27 is congested around the Chichester junctions, an experienced driver may adjust the approach through the Arun valley to keep you moving.
Do you pick up from Southsea, Fratton and Cosham?
Yes. We collect from every Portsmouth neighbourhood including Southsea, Fratton, Cosham, North End, Copnor and Old Portsmouth, as well as the wider PO postcodes such as Havant, Waterlooville and Emsworth.
Can I book the return, Gatwick to Portsmouth?
Yes, the same fixed fare applies in both directions. For the return leg the driver tracks your inbound flight, so if you land early or late the pickup adjusts automatically and you are met in arrivals with no extra waiting charge for normal delays.
What happens if my flight into Gatwick is delayed?
We monitor your flight number, so the driver knows the real landing time before setting off to meet you. There is no charge for waiting caused by a delayed flight, and your car will be there when you clear the arrivals hall rather than to the original schedule.
Can you collect from Portsmouth International Port or a cruise terminal?
Yes. The service runs twenty-four hours a day, and we regularly connect cruise and ferry passengers from Portsmouth International Port and the Isle of Wight and Continental terminals onward to Gatwick. Give us your sailing or docking time when you book and the driver times the pickup around it.
Which Gatwick terminal do you cover, North or South?
Both. Gatwick has only the North and South terminals, linked by a free shuttle, and we drop at whichever your airline uses. Tell us the terminal and airline when you book; on the return your driver meets you inside the correct arrivals hall with a name board.
