Gatwick to Stansted Taxi
Gatwick and Stansted are London's two biggest low-cost bases, but they're on opposite sides of the capital with no shared ticketing and no direct train. It's the longest of the six airport-to-airport routes we run — around 71 miles, over an hour by road.
Who Actually Needs A Gatwick–Stansted Transfer
Gatwick (home to a large easyJet base) and Stansted (Ryanair's biggest UK base) are the two largest low-cost airports serving London, but they sit on almost opposite sides of the M25 with no shared ticketing between them. Open-jaw itineraries, self-transfers and crew repositioning between the two bases are common — and because there's no direct train, road transfer is the only realistic option.
At around 71 miles, this is the longest of the six London-area airport-to-airport routes we cover. The fastest route crosses the Thames via the tolled Dartford Crossing on the eastern M25; an alternative via the M11 avoids the toll but takes slightly longer. Either way, book with a realistic time buffer — this is not a short hop.
Timing Your Gatwick–Stansted Transfer
The longest of the six routes
At roughly 71 miles, allow well over an hour and build in extra buffer for a tight connection — this isn't a route to cut close.
Dartford Crossing toll
The fastest route uses the tolled Dartford Crossing; your fixed fare already accounts for this, so there's nothing extra to pay on the day.

Gatwick to Stansted Taxi — Fare & Journey Time
Why book this route ahead
Airport-to-airport transfers aren't served by any train or shuttle — you're relying entirely on road transport, so a fixed, pre-agreed price beats hailing a cab outside a terminal you're not familiar with, especially with connecting flight timing on the line.
Gatwick to Stansted Taxi Questions
Is there a direct train between Gatwick and Stansted?
No — there's no direct rail link between the two, and any train route would mean crossing London with at least one change. A direct taxi covers the same ground in one vehicle, without the changeovers.

£110 for a standard saloon, one way, fixed regardless of traffic or the Dartford Crossing toll — both are already built into the price.

Around 1 hour 10 to 22 minutes depending on the exact route, covering roughly 71 miles — the longest of the six London-area airport-to-airport transfers we run. Build in extra buffer if you're connecting to a flight.
Does the fare include the Dartford Crossing toll?
Yes — the fastest route between Gatwick and Stansted crosses the Thames via the tolled Dartford Crossing, and that cost is already included in your fixed fare.
Why would I need to travel between Gatwick and Stansted?
Most commonly because both are major low-cost bases (easyJet at Gatwick, Ryanair at Stansted) with no shared ticketing, so self-connecting passengers and crew repositioning between the two need a direct road transfer.
