The journey between Gatwick and Ealing is roughly 30 miles by road, typically via the M23 and M25.

Because your fare is fixed, a longer run on the day costs you no more than the price you were quoted.
Ealing sits roughly to the north-north-west of Gatwick. By distance across all the areas we cover from Gatwick, this route is a fairly typical distance for one of our airport transfers — the 30th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from Gatwick, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Ealing against a nearby postcode for the same trip.
Distance and time are approximate, measured by road and intended as a guide only. For airport pickups we track your flight and time the journey to your landing, building in extra for traffic so you are not left waiting.
By road, Ealing is about 30 miles from Gatwick, generally via the M23 and M25, and lies to the north-north-west of the airport itself. Ealing, "the Queen of the Suburbs", is a green, family-friendly part of west London with good rail links including the Elizabeth line.
Gatwick lies to the south of London off the M23, with separate North and South terminals linked by a shuttle.
Plenty of people use “taxi” loosely for any hired car, but a licensed minicab is a distinct, regulated category from a black cab: no hailing on the street, a booking made ahead of time, and separate private hire licensing for both car and driver. This transfer runs on that same basis — booked ahead, fully licensed, fare fixed before you set off. On this specific route, Ealing lies to the north-north-west of Gatwick, a journey of around 30 miles — a fairly typical distance for one of our airport transfers compared with our other Gatwick routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
For Gatwick to Ealing, the roads are predictably busier on weekday mornings and early evenings, when local commuters and airport traffic both use the M23 and M25. Booking an early or late weekday slot is where a little extra time helps most; outside peak hours and on weekends, journeys tend to run more smoothly. Our drivers watch the traffic and adjust the route, not the price.
On the day, your driver confirms the pickup point in advance so there is no last-minute searching, and for airport legs the flight is tracked so the car is ready whether you land early or late. Allow the usual airport routine either side of the drive itself: security and check-in on the way out, and passport control or baggage reclaim on the way in, both of which our free waiting allowance already covers.
Groups and luggage are worth mentioning at booking rather than working out on the day: a saloon suits up to four people and two large cases comfortably, while an estate, MPV or 8-seater gives more room for extra bags, buggies or sports kit. School holidays and the summer season tend to bring more group and family travel on this kind of journey, so booking a little further ahead helps guarantee the right-sized vehicle at a time that suits you.
