London City Airport is small, and that works in your favour. Arrivals sit on the ground floor, and the walk from gate to exit rarely takes more than ten minutes. Your driver monitors your landing time and heads to the meeting point once your plane touches down. Your airport pickup happens quickly, without phone calls, confusion, or standing around wondering where to go.

Your driver offers luggage assistance from the terminal to the car, including heavy bags.
Quick Departure from LCY
The airport's compact size means we are on the road within minutes of you clearing arrivals.
Gatwick Airport Drop-Off Guide
Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, and airlines split between them. Tell us your airline or terminal when booking and your driver drops you at the correct forecourt. Not sure which terminal you need? We check it for you before the journey begins. Drop-off zones sit close to the check-in halls, so you walk straight from the car to your desk with no shuttle rides and no long treks with suitcases.
Gatwick North Terminal Drop-Off
Home to British Airways and easyJet flights. We drop you steps from the terminal entrance.
Gatwick South Terminal Drop-Off
Serves Vueling, Norse, and most long-haul carriers, with direct forecourt access beside check-in.
Convenient Terminal Access
Both drop-off zones connect straight to departures, keeping your walk with luggage as short as possible.
Smooth End-to-End Transfer
From LCY arrivals to Gatwick check-in, one car and one driver handle the whole journey.
London City Airport to Gatwick Distance, Route & Journey Time
The drive from City Airport to Gatwick Airport covers roughly 33 miles. Most journeys take 60 to 90 minutes, though early mornings often run quicker. Drivers usually head south through the Blackwall Tunnel, join the A2, then follow the M25 round to the M23 for Gatwick. Once you clear east London, it is mostly motorway travel, which keeps the second half of the ride smooth and predictable.
Fastest Route via A2 and M25
The A2 to M25 route offers steady motorway driving and avoids central London congestion entirely.
Alternative Routes During Busy Periods
During M25 delays, drivers cut through south London on the A205 and A23 instead.
Typical Journey Duration
Expect 60 to 90 minutes in total. We always suggest adding buffer time before flights.
Choose the Right Vehicle for Your Transfer
Your vehicle choice depends on group size and luggage. A solo traveller with a carry-on needs nothing more than a saloon. A family of six with holiday suitcases needs an MPV. We ask about passengers and bags at booking so the right car turns up, not one you have to squeeze into. Child seats are fitted on request at no extra charge.

Airport Transfers for Every Traveller
No two passengers travel the same way. A consultant on a business trip wants quiet and punctuality. A tourist wants a friendly driver who can point out landmarks along the way. Parents need child seats fitted before pickup, not promised at the kerb. We have carried all of them between these two airports for years, and the service adapts to whoever sits in the back seat.

London City Airport to Gatwick Taxi Fare

Our saloon fare of £75 undercuts both while still including flight tracking and waiting time. For most passengers, the saloon is the best value on this route.

Benefits of Choosing a Private Taxi Over Public Transport
There is no direct rail link between these two airports. Public transport means the DLR, then a Thameslink train, with at least one change and plenty of stairs in between. Add luggage and a check-in deadline, and the cheap option stops feeling cheap. A private car gives you reliable transport from terminal to terminal without a single platform announcement.
Door-to-Door Convenience
One car, terminal to terminal. True door-to-door service with zero changes along the way.
No Train Changes or Delays
Skip the DLR, the Underground, and Thameslink delays. Your journey runs on your schedule.
Ideal for Heavy Luggage
No dragging suitcases up station staircases. Your driver loads and unloads every single bag.

Comfortable Private Travel
A quiet, private car beats crowded carriages, especially after a long flight or before one.
