Driving route map

Gatwick and Heathrow driving route

The usual airport connection runs north from Gatwick towards the M25 and then west towards Heathrow. The map is useful for orientation, but the sensible route can change when there is congestion or an incident on the motorway network.

Planning note: Google Maps shows current route conditions when you open it. It is not a guaranteed airport connection time. Your airline check-in deadline, baggage reclaim time and terminal handover still need a realistic buffer.

Plan the connection properly

The terminal matters at both ends of the M25 journey

The usual road route connects the M23 and M25, but the terminal choice changes the final approach. Do not book a tight connection based only on a perfect traffic estimate: M25 congestion and incidents can change the journey quickly.

Confirm both terminals

Gatwick has North and South terminals. Heathrow has Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. Put both terminal details into the booking so your driver uses the correct pickup and drop-off areas.

Allow for M25 conditions

Most journeys use the M23 and M25. Congestion near the M25 junctions and unexpected incidents can add time, especially during commuter peaks and holiday travel days.

Plan for luggage and immigration

If your first flight is international, leave time for passport control, baggage reclaim and the walk to the agreed collection point before the road transfer begins.

Licensed operator and human dispatch

A real airport connection needs more than a map pin

Prime Airport Transfer is a trading name of Rapid Airport Transfers, a licensed private hire operator regulated by Three Rivers District Council under operator licence PHOP019. Your booking is handled as a planned airport journey, not passed into an anonymous last-minute marketplace.

Route guidance reviewed by the Prime Airport Transfer dispatch team in June 2026. If the connection is tight, call 01923 88 2220 before booking so the timing can be discussed honestly.

Common questions

Heathrow and Gatwick transfer FAQ

How much is a taxi from Gatwick to Heathrow Airport? Open

The quote depends on the date, pickup time, terminal details and vehicle required. Use the Gatwick to Heathrow quote button to open the live booking form with both airports prefilled. You will see the fixed quote before confirming the booking.

How long does a Gatwick to Heathrow transfer take? Open

The road route normally uses the M23 and M25. Journey time changes with traffic, the terminal combination and incidents on the motorway, so leave a sensible connection buffer rather than relying on the quickest possible estimate.

Is there a direct train from Gatwick Airport to Heathrow Airport? Open

There is no single direct train between Gatwick and Heathrow. Rail options involve changes, often with luggage through central London. A pre-booked private hire transfer travels directly between the agreed terminals.

Can you collect me from Heathrow and take me to Gatwick? Open

Yes. Use the Heathrow to Gatwick quote option and add your Heathrow terminal, arriving flight number and Gatwick terminal. Manual flight tracking helps dispatch adjust the pickup plan when an arriving flight is delayed.

Which Gatwick terminal should I enter for a Heathrow to Gatwick transfer? Open

Enter North Terminal or South Terminal according to the airline operating your onward flight. Gatwick has two terminals, so the correct choice prevents an avoidable terminal change after a time-sensitive road journey.

How much connection time should I allow between Gatwick and Heathrow? Open

There is no single safe buffer for every booking. Allow time for immigration, baggage reclaim, the driver handover, motorway conditions and your onward airline check-in deadline. Open the live Google Maps route for current conditions and call dispatch before booking if the connection is tight.

Are airport drop-off and pickup fees included in the fixed quote? Open

The live booking engine shows the fixed quote before you confirm. Airport fees for the selected journey are included in that quote, so the terminal transfer is not priced by a running meter while you sit in traffic.

Can I request a child seat for a Gatwick and Heathrow transfer? Open

Yes. Add the required child-seat type when you book so the correct vehicle setup can be arranged. Also state the number of passengers, suitcases and buggies because an airport connection with family luggage may need a larger vehicle.

What happens if my arriving flight into Gatwick or Heathrow is delayed? Open

Add the arriving flight number to the booking. Dispatch can check official airport arrival information and confirm any material collection change with you. Keep the onward flight deadline in mind because a delayed arrival reduces the road-transfer buffer.

Can I book from an airport hotel instead of the terminal? Open

Yes. Edit the pickup or drop-off field before checking the fare. Heathrow hotel pickups such as Sofitel T5 or Hilton Garden Inn T2/T3 are not the same as a terminal forecourt pickup, and Gatwick hotels such as Premier Inn North Terminal or Bloc Gatwick can change the exact approach and meeting point.
