Terminal Guide — London Gatwick (LGW)

Gatwick Airport — North Terminal & South Terminal Transfer Guide

Gatwick has two terminals connected by a free monorail. Tell us your terminal when booking and your driver will take you to exactly the right drop-off or pickup zone.

South

The South Terminal is Gatwick’s original and larger terminal, serving the majority of the airport’s traffic. A taxi to Gatwick South Terminal drops off at the dedicated vehicle forecourt. For arrivals pickups, your driver meets you just past baggage reclaim in the South Terminal arrivals hall.

North

Not sure which terminal? The North and South Terminals are connected by a free monorail service. If you are unsure which terminal your airline uses, check your booking confirmation or your airline’s website before booking your Gatwick airport transfer.

Bidirectional Service

Taxi from Gatwick to London — Arrivals Transfer Service

We serve both directions equally. Pre-book a taxi from Gatwick to London and your driver will be waiting in arrivals when your flight lands — not when it was scheduled to land.

Taxi from Gatwick to London

Just landed at Gatwick? Your driver tracks your flight in real time and adjusts their arrival to match your actual landing time. There is no extra charge for reasonable delays — it is all included in your pre-booked fare.

Whether you are arriving at the North or South Terminal, your driver will be in the arrivals hall with your name on a board, ready to assist with luggage and get you on your way.
