Redhill to Gatwick Taxi, about 15 minutes door to terminal
Redhill is one of the closest towns to Gatwick, about seven miles north of the airport, and the drive typically takes 15 to 20 minutes. That makes a taxi the simplest option, especially for early flights when trains are infrequent or when you are carrying holiday luggage.
Our drivers know the A23 through Salfords and Horley and the M23 alternative from Merstham, and will pick the quicker one on the day. Choose a saloon for a quick solo trip or an MPV or minibus for the whole family, all at a fixed price.

Route, Distance and Journey Time
A taxi from Redhill to Gatwick Airport covers roughly seven miles and takes about 15 minutes in clear traffic, or 20 to 25 minutes at busy times.
From central Redhill, most journeys follow the A23 south through Earlswood and Salfords, past Horley and on to the Gatwick roundabouts for the North or South Terminal. From Merstham and the north of the town, joining the M23 at Junction 8 and leaving at Junction 9 can be quicker. Your driver chooses the best route on the day.
Typical traffic patterns
Early morning and late evening runs can take as little as 15 minutes.
Weekday rush hours: the A23 through Salfords and Horley can queue, and the Redhill one-way system slows at peak times.
Holiday weekends: Gatwick’s approach roads are busiest on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings in summer.
Redhill has a direct train to Gatwick, but early-morning services are limited and you still have to get to the station and carry your bags to the terminal. A door-to-door Redhill to Gatwick taxi is simpler with luggage, children or a very early flight.

Gatwick Terminals We Serve
Our taxi from Redhill to Gatwick Airport covers both terminals: North and South. A free shuttle links them, but check your terminal on your airline booking before you travel so your driver takes you straight to the right one.
Departures: drop-off at the terminal
Your driver takes you to the drop-off forecourt at the North or South Terminal. Have your bags ready and we will get you to the doors quickly.
Arrivals: meet and greet at Gatwick
On the way home, your driver tracks your flight and meets you in arrivals. You have 60 minutes of free waiting after landing, which covers most passport queues and baggage reclaim.
Planning your Gatwick Journey From Redhill
Give us your flight number and departure time when you book. With a journey this short, a pickup two and a half to three and a half hours before departure usually works, depending on your airline’s check-in advice.
For a 10:00 long-haul flight with a three-hour check-in window, a pickup from Redhill at around 06:30 gives a comfortable buffer.
What to tell us when you book
- Your flight number and terminal
- How many passengers are travelling, including children
- How many large suitcases and hand luggage items you have
- Any oversized items such as golf bags, skis or a pushchair
- Whether you need a child seat

Your full address and postcode set the route.

February 8, 2026I booked Plus Ride for my airport transfer and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Their communication was clear and prompt, giving me confidence that everything was well organised ahead of time. The driver was right on schedule and very professional, helping with luggage and ensuring a smooth, comfortable journey. The car was spotless and the ride itself was relaxed and efficient, which is exactly what you want when travelling to or from the airport. Overall, Plus Ride delivered a reliable and high-quality service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future.
