A fixed-price taxi to Gatwick Airport (LGW) costs an average of £181, from £75 for nearby towns (the cheapest fare in the list) up to £779 for long-distance cities. Below are real fixed fares from 47 UK towns and cities, with the £10 Gatwick drop-off charge already included. Tap any price to lock it in and book in under a minute.
The single biggest factor is distance. The fares below run from £75 for the closest towns to £779 for cross-country cities, because the price reflects the mileage and time on the M23 and M25. Gatwick is the most expensive London airport to reach on average, partly because it sits south of the M25 and most of our coverage area is to the north and west, adding motorway miles.
The second factor is vehicle size. Every price here is for a standard saloon carrying up to four passengers; a 6 or 8 seater MPV for a larger group or extra luggage costs a little more but is shown before you book. Crucially, the fare is fixed: there is no meter, no peak-time surge and no airport surcharge bolted on at the end. Gatwick has two terminals linked by a shuttle, so telling us North or South at booking means the driver takes you to the correct one rather than a generic drop-off.
The Gatwick drop-off charge of £10 is the one cost many travellers forget. Drive yourself and you pay it every visit; book a fixed transfer and it is already inside the quoted fare.
For a solo traveller the train is often the cheaper option. But the moment you are two, three or four people, the maths flips. An average fixed fare to Gatwick of £181 split between four works out at roughly £45 each, door to terminal, with no changes and no luggage to drag across a concourse.
Add up the parts of the rail route, a ticket per person, station parking or an onward taxi, the £10 no longer matters because you are not driving, and the gap narrows or disappears entirely for groups and families. The fixed taxi also removes the timetable: it leaves when you do.

“Umar was a responsible and safe driver, communication was great throughout, and when my son left his toy penguin in the car after a very late pick up, Umar returned it the very next day. So professional and efficient, I would absolutely use them again.”
