Airport Transfers
Book a private transfer from Gatwick Airport (LGW) to your hotel in London, Brighton or anywhere in Sussex, Surrey and Kent, with your driver waiting in arrivals.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from London Gatwick Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
About 45 km south of central London in West Sussex, Gatwick is the UK's second-busiest airport and easyJet's biggest base, with two terminals, North and South. From either one we take you to London, Brighton and the south coast, Surrey, Kent and the cruise ports, with Gatwick airport transportation booked before your flight.
Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall of your terminal, North or South, with a name sign, helps with your luggage and walks you to the car. We track your flight, so a delay moves the pickup instead of cancelling it, and the price for the whole vehicle is fixed before you fly.
Gatwick airport transfers go door to door, which matters when holiday flights land early in the morning or late at night: to hotels and apartments across London, to Victoria, London Bridge, King's Cross St Pancras and London's other main stations, to Brighton, Eastbourne and the towns of Surrey, Sussex and Kent, to the cruise ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover, and to Heathrow, Stansted, Luton and London City for connecting flights. Saloons, SUVs and minivans are available for every party size.
The Gatwick airport shuttle is a private minivan for your party only, with no stops at other hotels on the way. It has room for holiday luggage, strollers and cruise bags, and suits families coming back from a holiday, groups heading to Brighton and anyone on an early or late flight.

Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, linked by a free shuttle train that takes about two minutes. Several airlines are moving between the two terminals during 2026, so check your booking and give us your flight number.
