Fixed-fare Gatwick to Heathrow transfers with flight tracking, meet & greet and 24/7 cover — your price confirmed before you book.

Quick answer

Airport Move connects Gatwick and Heathrow with a fixed-fare Gatwick to Heathrow taxi, agreed up front, a licensed driver, and door-to-door service around the clock — with free flight tracking on any leg that starts or ends at an airport.

Our private Gatwick to Heathrow taxi and minicab service covers around 45 miles and is one of the journeys we are asked for most, so we know it well. Book ahead to lock your fare and, on the airport end, your driver tracks the flight and adjusts to your real arrival time.

At roughly 45 miles, usually via the M25, the Gatwick to Heathrow journey — and the return Heathrow to Gatwick — is planned around the day's traffic by a driver who knows the route. One-off or regular, this Gatwick to Heathrow airport transfer stays a fixed price with no meters or surge pricing.

Heathrow lies roughly to the north-north-west of Gatwick, a journey of about 45 miles by road.

Local Knowledge

About the Gatwick to Heathrow journey

Gatwick lies to the south of London off the M23, with separate North and South terminals linked by a shuttle.

The Gatwick to Heathrow journey covers around 45 miles, typically via the M25. 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.

Good to Know

What actually is a minicab?

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 route, Heathrow lies to the north-north-west of Gatwick, around 45 miles by road — and whichever direction you are travelling, the licensed, pre-booked model is identical.

Planning Ahead

Planning your Gatwick to Heathrow journey

Gatwick to Heathrow sees its heaviest traffic on weekday mornings and early evenings, when the M23 and M25 are shared between commuters and airport travellers. If your journey falls in one of those windows, building in some extra time is sensible; outside them, and at weekends, the roads are typically quieter. Either way, the route is planned around the traffic on the day, not around a fixed schedule that ignores it.

We confirm where your driver will meet you well before travel day, and for airport connections the flight is tracked so the pickup follows your actual landing time. The normal airport routine still sits either side of the drive — check-in and security if you are departing, passport control and baggage reclaim if you are arriving — and both are covered by the waiting time built into the fare.

Telling us your group size and luggage at booking, rather than leaving it to the day, means the right vehicle is waiting: a saloon for up to four people and two large cases, or an estate, MPV or 8-seater for more bags, buggies or equipment. Journeys like this get busier in school holidays and summer, so booking ahead is the simplest way to secure the size of car you need.
