The journey between Gatwick and Westminster is roughly 30 miles by road, typically via the M23 and M25. In normal conditions allow about 40–60 minutes, though the real time depends on traffic, roadworks and the time of day. Because your fare is fixed, a longer run on the day costs you no more than the price you were quoted.
Westminster sits roughly to the north of Gatwick. By distance across all the areas we cover from Gatwick, this route is an average-length transfer by our usual Gatwick standards — the 29th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from Gatwick, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Westminster 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, Westminster is about 30 miles from Gatwick, generally via the M23 and M25, and lies to the north of the airport itself. Westminster sits at the heart of central London, home to Parliament, Whitehall, Victoria and the West End.
Gatwick lies to the south of London off the M23, with separate North and South terminals linked by a shuttle.
The word “taxi” gets used for almost any hired car in everyday conversation, but a licensed minicab is a genuinely separate, regulated category from a black cab — it must be pre-booked rather than hailed, and both the driver and vehicle carry their own private hire licence. That is exactly how this transfer is arranged: booked in advance, licensed throughout, and priced before you travel. On this specific route, Westminster lies to the north of Gatwick, a journey of around 30 miles — an average-length transfer by our usual Gatwick standards compared with our other Gatwick routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
Gatwick to Westminster 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.
The pickup point is settled in advance so there is no confusion on the day, and any airport leg is flight-tracked, meaning the car follows your real landing time rather than the original schedule. Either side of the drive, expect the usual airport process — check-in and security outbound, or passport control and baggage reclaim inbound — both allowed for in the included waiting time.
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:
An executive chauffeur car 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.

Every time. Give us the flight number and we track it into Gatwick, moving the pickup to match reality rather than the original schedule, at no extra cost for delays.
With meet & greet, your driver waits in arrivals with a name board. For a standard pickup, the driver waits nearby and calls you once you have your luggage and have cleared arrivals.
We do — any Westminster home, hotel or office, for pickup or drop-off. Give the full address and postcode at booking so your driver reaches you without delay.
Fully fixed. Once you accept the quote for Gatwick to Westminster, that is the amount charged — traffic, weather and time of day do not change it.
You can — book both directions together and both fixed fares are held. Heading back to Gatwick, we build in traffic and check-in time so you arrive with room to spare.
Choose from saloons, estates, MPVs, 8-seaters or an executive car for the Westminster journey — just tell us your group size and luggage when you book.
We do, free of charge. Note how many infant, child or booster seats you need at booking and they are fitted before the driver arrives.
We include free waiting time after your Gatwick landing to cover passport control and baggage reclaim. You see the exact allowance at booking.
However you prefer: securely online at the time of booking, by card in the car, or on a standing account for regular travellers — the fare does not change either way.
Westminster is roughly to the north of Gatwick, at around 30 miles by road — an average-length transfer by our usual Gatwick standards. Your driver takes the most direct route on the day, typically via the M23 and M25, and the fixed fare covers whichever way the traffic runs.
