Gatwick to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Gatwick to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much does a taxi from Gatwick to London City Airport 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 price shown above when you book is the price you pay, whatever London’s traffic does on the day.
How long does the Gatwick to London City transfer take?
Allow roughly the drive time shown above. Almost the whole route is motorway and dual carriageway along the M23, M25 and A13, so outside the peaks the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for the M25 around the Dartford approach and for the connection at the London City end.
What is the best route from Gatwick to London City Airport?
The standard run is the M23 north to the clockwise M25, then off onto the A13 into the Royal Docks and up to the terminal. When the eastern M25 is congested near Dartford, an experienced driver may weigh the A20 and Blackwall Tunnel approach instead to keep you moving toward your onward flight.
Can you collect from both the North and South Terminals and the Gatwick hotels?
Yes. We meet arrivals at both Gatwick North and South Terminals with a name board, collect from the official pick-up zones for each terminal, and run early transfers from the airport hotels including the Sofitel, Hilton, Bloc and the Premier Inn cluster around Lowfield Heath and Horley.
