How much notice do you need to book? None, if you’re flexible, though we’d always recommend booking a Caterham to Gatwick taxi at least a day ahead for peace of mind. How long does the journey take? Usually 25 to 30 minutes down the A22 onto the M25, then across to the M23 spur into the airport. And how much will it cost? Whatever we quote you at booking — that figure doesn’t change, whichever direction you’re travelling.
The Route From CR3
Caterham sits on high ground along the North Downs, which means the drive down towards the M25 has a bit of a descent to it before flattening out for the motorway stretch. Outside of rush hour this is a smooth run; during weekday peak times we’ll usually route via the quieter approach to avoid the worst of the M25 congestion near the M23 junction.
What “Fixed Price” Actually Means
It means the number you’re quoted when you book is the number you pay — for the drop-off at Gatwick and for the return collection. It doesn’t rise if traffic is heavier than expected, and it doesn’t rise because your flight lands late, because we’re already tracking that flight and adjusting your pickup accordingly.
Which Terminal?
Gatwick has North and South Terminals connected by an internal shuttle, but you don’t want to discover you’re at the wrong one after landing. Confirm yours when you book and we’ll get you there without the detour.
Room for Everyone
Bigger groups — school trips, sports teams, extended family holidays — are common out of Caterham, and for those we’d usually recommend our 16 seater minibus hire or the more compact 8 seater minibus, depending on numbers and luggage.
Arrivals Made Simple
Landing back at Gatwick after a long flight is tiring enough without hunting for your ride. Our meet and greet service means your driver is already inside arrivals holding a name board, having tracked your flight the whole way in.
Local Knowledge, Not Guesswork
A quick search for “Caterham taxi” or “taxi near me” throws up a long list, but not all of them are actually based nearby. Every driver we send on a “Caterham minicab” job to Gatwick is licensed, DBS-checked and genuinely familiar with the A22/M25 route, not following it for the first time via satnav.
Where We Pick Up
Regular collection points include Caterham railway station, addresses around Caterham on the Hill, and homes near the North Downs — all within our standard CR3 coverage area.
Three Steps to Book
First, share your pickup address and flight details. Second, we confirm your fixed fare and vehicle. Third, your driver arrives on time and manages the rest of the journey, including any last-minute flight changes.
