Gatwick lies to the south of London off the M23, with separate North and South terminals linked by a shuttle.
The Gatwick to Eastbourne journey covers around 35 miles, typically via the A27. Your driver plans the route and the timing around the traffic on the day, and on airport legs we track your flight so the pickup matches your real arrival time. The fare stays fixed whether the roads are quiet or busy.
In everyday London speech, people say “taxi” for almost any hired car, but a licensed minicab is legally distinct from a black cab: it cannot be hailed on the street and must be booked in advance, with the driver and vehicle separately licensed for private hire. A pre-booked transfer like this one works on exactly that basis — agreed in advance, licensed throughout, with the fare fixed before you travel. On this route, Eastbourne lies to the south-east of Gatwick, around 35 miles by road — and whichever direction you are travelling, the licensed, pre-booked model is identical.
the M23 and M25 are at their busiest on weekday mornings and early evenings around Gatwick to Eastbourne, as commuter traffic overlaps with airport and local trips. Early or late weekday journeys benefit from extra time in the schedule; quieter periods fall on evenings, weekends and school holidays. Whatever the traffic, your driver plans the route in advance and the fare does not change.
Your pickup point is confirmed ahead of time, removing any guesswork on the day, and flight tracking on airport journeys means the car adjusts to when you actually land rather than when the schedule says you should. The usual airport steps still apply either side of your drive — check-in and security, or passport control and baggage reclaim — and the included waiting time is there to cover them.
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.
Booked this as a single taxi ride? The same fixed fare, driver and vehicle are available for more than one journey:

A company account for corporate airport travel.
Airport meet & greet, if you would rather be met inside arrivals.
A bigger group travelling together with minibus transfers.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
A day out further afield with a private tour.

At about 35 miles, typically via the A27, the exact time depends on traffic. Airport legs have check-in time built into the planning.

Any airport leg of your Gatwick to Eastbourne journey is flight-tracked by number, with the pickup adjusted automatically and no charge for delays.
Yes. Book the outbound and return together and we hold both fixed fares. For the Eastbourne to Gatwick taxi and any airport return, we factor in traffic and check-in times so you arrive in good time.
We run saloons, estates, MPVs, 8-seaters and executive cars. Share your group size and bags at booking and we will suggest the best fit.
A saloon comfortably takes four people and two large cases; for more bags, an estate, MPV or 8-seater is the better fit. Mention your luggage when you book.
Yes, at no extra cost. Specify infant, child or booster seats at booking and they will be ready before the driver arrives.
The further ahead you book, the more certain your vehicle and fare, though same-day and last-minute bookings are available 24/7 where possible.
Choose to pay securely online, by card with the driver, or on account for regular and corporate trips — the fare does not change either way.
