The route

From Cambridge (CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5) the natural line out is the M11 and the A14, joining M23 J9a, then the terminal approach for the last part of the journey. Door to door it works out at roughly 123.0 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 2h 35m off-peak becomes 3h 05m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.

Where we meet you at Gatwick Airport

Meet and greet in the North or South Terminal arrivals hall. North and South terminals are a shuttle apart, so we confirm which one you land at before the day.

Address: Gatwick Airport, Crawley, RH6 0NP.

Pickups across Cambridge

Pickups cover the whole of Cambridge and the CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5 districts across Cambridgeshire. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.

Cambridge sits on the M11, A14 corridor, which is what makes this journey predictable rather than a gamble on the day.

When to leave

For a short-haul departure, allow 2 hours at the airport plus 3h 05m on the road; for long-haul make that 3 hours. We watch your flight, so an early or late landing does not change the price.

Getting back from Gatwick Airport

Coming back the other way, the driver meets you in arrivals with a name board and the fare is the same £210. We track the flight, so a delay costs you nothing.
