New £10 Gatwick Drop-Off Charge & All Fees Included
From 6 January 2026, Gatwick raised its forecourt drop-off charge from £7 to £10 per visit — the highest at any UK airport — alongside a 30-minute maximum stay at both terminals. Where many operators quote a low fare and then add that charge at the kerb, we build it, and every other airport fee, straight into the price we quote. The number you see is the number you pay.

Gatwick Taxi vs Gatwick Express, Thameslink & Uber
Which way into Central London actually works out cheapest and fastest from Gatwick? Here’s an honest, side-by-side look at all five options so you can choose what suits your trip.
| Transport Option | Price (One-Way) | Total Time | Luggage | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
local_taxi Pre-booked Taxi (Us) Recommended | From £70 | 60-90 mins | Unlimited | Groups, families, late flights, luggage-heavy journeys, door-to-door service |
train Thameslink Train | From £10 | 45-75 mins | Carry yourself | Solo travellers, light luggage, direct to St Pancras/Blackfriars |
train Gatwick Express | From £25 | 30 mins | Carry yourself | Fastest to Victoria, business travellers, non-stop service |
local_taxi Uber / Bolt | £50-£120 | 60-90 mins | Limited | Flexible, but surge pricing can spike heavily after late-evening flights |
local_taxi Metered Black Cab | £100-£130 | 60-90 mins | Limited (5 pax) | Walk-up at taxi rank, but metered fare + traffic risk |
The honest breakdown: For solo travellers with light luggage, the Thameslink train from £10 is unbeatable on price. For premium speed solo, the Gatwick Express at £25 gets you to Victoria in 30 minutes non-stop. For groups of 3 or more, a pre-booked taxi works out similar per person (£23/person for 3 in a saloon) but adds door-to-door service, no luggage hauling, and fixed pricing. For families of 4-6 with luggage, a £92 MPV-6 works out at £15-£23 per person and is comfortably the best value. Pre-booked taxis also beat Uber and black cabs on price certainty—no surge, no meter, no £10 drop-off fee surprise. Prefer a metered ride into town?

Gatwick Taxi Prices – Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a taxi from Gatwick to Central London in 2026?
A Gatwick to Central London taxi starts at £70 for a saloon (3 passengers, 2 bags); Victoria is slightly closer at £68. Estate cars are £78, executive £90, and 6-seater MPVs £92. Larger groups start at £115 for an 8-seater. Every fixed fare includes meet and greet, 45 minutes free waiting, parking, and the £10 drop-off charge.
Does my Gatwick taxi price include the new £10 drop-off charge?
Yes. The £10 Gatwick Forecourt Drop-Off Charge, up from £7 on 6 January 2026 and now the highest at any UK airport, is built into every fare, so nothing is added at pickup. Your price also covers the 30-minute stay rule, M23 and M25 tolls, congestion charge, meet and greet, and 45 minutes free waiting.
How much is a taxi from Gatwick to Victoria or King's Cross?
Gatwick to Victoria starts at £68 for a saloon (26 miles, 60 to 80 minutes via the M23) and is the closest Central London terminus. King's Cross St Pancras is £75 (30 miles, 70 to 90 minutes). Both include the £10 drop-off charge, meet and greet, 45 minutes free waiting, and congestion charge where applicable.
How much is a taxi from Gatwick to Brighton and other Sussex destinations?
Gatwick to Brighton starts at £60 for a saloon, about 28 miles via the A23 in 35 to 50 minutes. Other Sussex fares: Crawley £25, Horsham £40, Worthing £70, and Eastbourne £80. All are fixed and include parking, meet and greet, and 45 minutes free waiting.
Is a Gatwick taxi cheaper than the Gatwick Express or Thameslink train?
For solo travellers the Thameslink (from about £10) and Gatwick Express (from £25, 30 minutes) are cheaper. A pre-booked taxi suits groups: a £70 saloon split three ways is £23.33 each, and a £92 MPV-6 is £15 to £23 per person. It also beats Uber (£50 to £120 with surge) and black cabs (£100 to £130).
Will the driver wait if my easyJet, BA, or Wizz Air flight is delayed?
Yes. We track every Gatwick flight in real time using live aviation data from easyJet, British Airways, Wizz Air, TUI, Ryanair, and others. If you land late your driver adjusts the pickup automatically at no extra charge, and you get 45 minutes free waiting from the moment your plane lands.
Where does my driver meet me at Gatwick North or South Terminal?
Your driver waits inside arrivals at your terminal, North or South, holding a name board. Once you land you receive a text with the driver's name, vehicle registration, and exact meeting point. For departures, drivers drop you at the terminal entrance, and full instructions are in your booking confirmation.
How much is a taxi from Gatwick to Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, or London City Airport?
Fixed inter-airport fares from Gatwick, saloon then MPV-6: Heathrow £95 or £117 (45 miles), London City £95 or £117 (50 miles), Luton £130 or £152 (75 miles), and Stansted £140 or £162 (70 miles). Every price includes parking at both airports and live flight tracking.

Gatwick across Surrey and Kent, saloon fares: Tunbridge Wells £55 (20 miles), Guildford £65 (25 miles), Portsmouth £95 (55 miles), Southampton £110 (65 miles), and Reading £120 (60 miles). All include parking, tolls, meet and greet, and 45 minutes free waiting, with MPV-6 fares roughly 30 percent higher.
