Airport Transfers
The run from Paddington to Gatwick Airport covers about 32.5 miles and is quoted as a fixed price from £65. Off-peak the drive takes around 1h; in traffic allow 1h 30m. Drivers come in via M23 J9a, then the terminal approach, reaching Gatwick Airport from the due north. The price is agreed when you book, so it does not move with the meter, the traffic or the time of night.
A pre-booked taxi from Paddington to Gatwick Airport costs from £65 for up to 4 passengers and takes about 1h off-peak, covering roughly 32.5 miles. The price is fixed before you travel and includes tolls, waiting time and luggage.

From Paddington (W2) the natural line out is the A40 and the A404, joining M23 J9a, then the terminal approach for the last part of the journey. Door to door it works out at roughly 32.5 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 1h off-peak becomes 1h 30m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
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.
Any address in Paddington works, along with the wider W2 area of Central London. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.
Paddington has a rank, but it empties the moment a train unloads. A car booked to meet your service waits on W2 instead of you waiting on the pavement.
For a short-haul departure, allow 2 hours at the airport plus 1h 30m 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.
Coming back the other way, the driver meets you in arrivals with a name board and the fare is the same £65. We track the flight, so a delay costs you nothing.
