Putney to Gatwick Airport Taxi

Putney to Gatwick Airport Taxi With Fixed Quotes and Meet and Greet

The cases are by the door, the passports are in your bag, and your flight leaves Gatwick in a few hours. All you need now is a car that turns up on time.

A Putney to Gatwick Airport taxi does that job. You get a fixed quote before you travel and a driver who knows the roads south of SW15. This page answers the questions people ask most, from price and journey time to terminals, drop-off rules and how to book.

How Much Is a Taxi From Putney to Gatwick?

Fixed quotes for Gatwick taxis

Your price is agreed when you book. That's a fixed quote, so a slow M25 can't push the fare up while you sit in the back.

The quote depends on your pickup point, time of day, terminal, and car size. It only changes if the journey changes, for example, an extra stop in Wimbledon or a switch from the South Terminal to the North. Ask what the quote includes, especially the airport drop-off charge, to avoid surprises at the forecourt.

Budget taxi tips and a low price that stays safe

Looking for a budget taxi to Gatwick? Sharing is the easiest way to save. A standard car carries up to four passengers, so splitting the fare between friends or family often works out cheaper per head than separate train tickets, particularly once you add the trip to Clapham Junction or Victoria with heavy cases.

A few habits help too. Book early, travel off-peak where you can, and tell us the right number of passengers so you don't pay for a bigger car than you need. A low price should never mean a risky one, so every booking goes to a licensed Private Hire minicab operator.

How Long Does a Cab From Putney to Gatwick Take?

The A3 and M25 route

Gatwick is about 25 miles south of Putney. The usual route climbs Putney Hill to the A3, runs out past Kingston, joins the M25 at junction 10 and follows it round to the M23 for the airport.

It's the longer way in miles, but it tends to keep moving. Allow 50 to 70 minutes in normal traffic.

The Wimbledon and Sutton route

The second option heads south through Wimbledon and Sutton, then joins the M25 near Reigate. It can be handy when the A3 is slow around Kingston.

Your driver checks live traffic and picks whichever looks better on the day. You don't have to choose.

Busy days to plan around

Summer Saturdays, the start of the school holidays and the Friday before a bank holiday are the busiest times on the road to Gatwick. Early mornings can also mean long security queues once you arrive.

Allow plenty of time and book your cab as soon as your flights are confirmed.

Which Gatwick Terminal Do Our Minicabs Use?

Gatwick has two terminals, and airlines are split between them. A few have moved in recent years, so check your booking confirmation before you set off. Give us your flight number when you book, and we'll make sure the car heads to the right one.

Putney to Gatwick North Terminal taxi

For the North Terminal, your driver will take the M23 spur and pull up at the drop-off area outside departures. Have your bags ready and your passport to hand.

If you're returning here, tell us your pickup terminal too, so your driver waits in the right arrivals hall.

Putney to Gatwick South Terminal taxi

The South Terminal is the older of the two and sits closer to the railway station. Our cars drop at the forecourt outside departures, the same as at the North.

Which terminal do you need? Send us your flight number, and we'll sort it before the day.

Moving between terminals

The two terminals are a few minutes apart by the free shuttle train. If you do end up at the wrong one, you can still get across without paying extra.

It's best to avoid the scramble, though. Check the terminal before you travel.

Gatwick Airport Drop Off Details for Taxis and Cars

Taxis, minicabs and private cars drop passengers at the forecourt outside the departures entrance at each terminal. Gatwick charges for forecourt drop-offs, and the rules can change, so check the airport's website for current details.

• Drop-offs happen outside departures at the North and South Terminals.
• Ask whether your fare covers the airport drop-off charge.
• Stays at the forecourt are short, so have your luggage ready.
• Your driver can only stop where it's allowed, so follow their lead.
• Give us your terminal and flight number when you book.

Airport hotel drop-offs and early flights

If you'd rather sleep near the airport before a dawn departure, we link hotels directly to both terminals. We can drop you off at either one the evening before.

It beats a 3 am start across London, and you walk to check-in in the morning. Give us the hotel name when you book.

Gatwick Airport Pickups With Meet and Greet

Meet and greet inside arrivals.

Landing after a fortnight away, the last thing you want is to hunt for a car. With meet and greet, your driver waits inside arrivals with your name, helps with the luggage and walks you to the car.

Ask for it when you book your Gatwick to Putney taxi. It's the simplest way to start the journey home.

Flight tracking for late and delayed landings

We track your flight in real time, so the pickup follows your actual landing time. A delay at the gate won't leave you without a cab, and we treat late-night arrivals the same as any other.

We run around the clock, seven days a week.

Booking your return at the same time

You can book both journeys together. Just add your return flight number and terminal, and we'll plan the pickup before you leave home.

Plans change, so if your return flight moves, ring or message us and we'll adjust.

Is a Gatwick Airport Transfer Better Than the Train?

Getting from Putney to Gatwick by train usually means going into Clapham Junction or Victoria first, then changing, all with your cases. If you'd rather take the Gatwick Express, see our Putney to Victoria taxi page.

For families, groups and early charter flights, a door-to-door car saves effort and often money once everyone's fare is added up. It also beats a week in an airport car park, and you don't have to drive home tired after a night flight.
