Need a Gatwick to Southampton taxi? Airport Move quotes one fixed price before you travel, sends a licensed driver, and tracks your flight free of charge whenever the journey touches an airport.
Our private Gatwick to Southampton taxi and minicab service covers around 70 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.
Covering around 70 miles, typically via the M27, the Gatwick to Southampton run is one we know well, and we also handle the reverse Southampton to Gatwick taxi. Traffic on the day is factored into the timing, and this private Gatwick to Southampton transfer never changes price once it is quoted.
Southampton lies roughly to the west-south-west of Gatwick, a journey of about 70 miles by road.

Gatwick lies to the south of London off the M23, with separate North and South terminals linked by a shuttle.
The Gatwick to Southampton journey covers around 70 miles, typically via the M27. 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.
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, Southampton lies to the west-south-west of Gatwick, around 70 miles by road — and whichever direction you are travelling, the licensed, pre-booked model is identical.
The busiest times for Gatwick to Southampton are weekday rush hours, when the M23 and M25 carry commuter traffic alongside airport and local journeys. If you are travelling before 8am or after 5pm on a weekday, it pays to leave a little earlier; evenings, weekends and school holidays tend to move more freely. We plan the timing either way, so the fixed fare and the pickup time both hold.
Nothing about the pickup is left to chance: the meeting point is agreed in advance, and on airport legs we track the flight so the timing matches your real arrival, not the timetable. Plan for the usual airport process around the journey itself — security and check-in outbound, passport control and baggage inbound — which is exactly what the free waiting allowance in your fare is there for.
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.
Booked this as a single taxi ride? The same fixed fare, driver and vehicle are available for more than one journey:
An executive car with a professional driver for business trips and special occasions.
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.

Yes. Book the outbound and return together and we hold both fixed fares. For the Southampton to Gatwick taxi and any airport return, we factor in traffic and check-in times so you arrive in good time.
Saloons, estates, MPVs and 8-seaters, plus executive cars. Tell us your group size and luggage when booking and we will recommend the right vehicle for the journey.
A saloon suits up to four passengers with two large cases; for more, choose an estate, MPV or 8-seater. Let us know your bags at booking so the vehicle has room for the whole trip.
Yes. Add the number and type of infant, child or booster seats when you book and we will fit them before pickup, at no extra charge.
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.
Three ways to pay: online at booking, by card in the car, or on a corporate account — all at the same fixed fare.
