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 joint-highest at any UK airport, level with Stansted — 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.

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 £101 MPV-6 works out at £17-£25 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? Check current London black cab prices or estimate the trip with a black cab taxi fare calculator.

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 £79 for a saloon (3 passengers, 2 bags); Victoria is a similar £79. Estate cars are £85, executive £104, and 6-seater MPVs £101. Larger groups start at £134 for an 8-seater. Every fixed fare includes meet and greet, 60 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 joint-highest at any UK airport, level with Stansted, is built into every fare, so nothing is added at pickup. Your price also covers the 30-minute stay rule, congestion charge, meet and greet, and 60 minutes free waiting.

How much is a taxi from Gatwick to Victoria or King's Cross?

Gatwick to Victoria starts at £79 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 £79 (30 miles, 70 to 90 minutes). Both include the £10 drop-off charge, meet and greet, 60 minutes free waiting, and congestion charge where applicable.

How much is a taxi from Gatwick to Brighton and other Sussex destinations?

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 £79 saloon split three ways is £26.33 each, and a £101 MPV-6 is £17 to £25 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 60 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 £80 or £102 (45 miles), London City £79 or £101 (50 miles), Luton £101 or £123 (75 miles), and Stansted £120 or £142 (70 miles). Every price includes parking at both airports and live flight tracking.

All include parking, tolls, meet and greet, and 60 minutes free waiting, with MPV-6 fares roughly 30 percent higher.
