A taxi from Cobham to Gatwick costs £85.19 in a saloon to the South Terminal and £82.13 to the North Terminal with Onward Travel Solutions. That’s a fixed price for up to three passengers with three large cases, agreed when you book and paid to the driver on the day. The trip back from Gatwick to Cobham is priced on distance and comes out within a few pounds of the same.
Cobham is right next to junction 10 of the M25, where the A3 meets the motorway, so few places in Surrey are better placed for a quick run to Gatwick. It’s roughly 22 miles and usually 30 to 40 minutes door to door. Whether you’re in the village centre, out towards Fairmile and Downside, or in one of the private roads around Stoke d’Abernon, a fixed-fare taxi is the simplest way to the airport.

The Drive From Cobham to Gatwick
From Cobham your driver joins the M25 at junction 10 and follows it anticlockwise to junction 7, then the M23 spur into Gatwick. That’s motorway almost all the way, with no town centres to get through. Off-peak the drive is about 30 minutes. The section of the M25 between junctions 10 and 9 is one of the busiest in the country at rush hour, so for flights in the morning peak we build extra time into your pickup.
If there’s a closure on the M25, the alternative is the A245 and A24 through Leatherhead and Dorking, then across to the airport. The fixed fare stays the same.
Planning an Early Flight
Plan to be at Gatwick around two hours before a short-haul flight and three hours before long-haul. Because Cobham is so close to the motorway, very early pickups are quick:
| Flight time | Suggested pickup in Cobham |
|---|---|
| 6:00am short-haul | 3:20am to 3:35am |
| 8:30am short-haul | 5:30am to 5:45am |
| 11:00am long-haul | 6:45am to 7:00am |
| 4:00pm short-haul | 12:45pm to 1:00pm |
Taxi or Train?
Cobham & Stoke d’Abernon station is on the New Guildford Line into Waterloo, so the rail route to Gatwick involves a change, usually at Clapham Junction, and takes over an hour. Services are less frequent than on the main line, especially early in the morning and on Sundays. With luggage, or for a dawn flight, a taxi from your door is the more practical option.
Cobham Pickups
We pick up from anywhere in Cobham, including the gated estates and private roads around Fairmile Lane and Stoke d’Abernon. Add gate codes or directions in the booking notes. If you’re near Painshill Park or the A3 side of the village, your driver will plan the quickest way onto the motorway.
Cobham is home to many families who travel during the school holidays, and to business travellers who fly frequently. For regular flyers, booking each trip with the same details takes a couple of minutes, and the fixed fare means you know exactly what to expense.
Leaving Your Car at Home
Driving yourself from Cobham and parking at Gatwick for a week or two in the long-stay car park often costs as much as a return taxi, before you add fuel and the shuttle bus at each end. With a taxi there’s no parking to pre-book, no hunting for your car after a long flight, and nobody has to drive home tired.
Areas Around Cobham We Cover
Our fixed fares to Gatwick also cover Stoke d’Abernon, Oxshott, Downside, Fairmile, Ockham, Wisley, Ripley and Byfleet. Enter your full address in the booking form to see the price for every vehicle.
Gatwick or Heathrow From Cobham?
Heathrow is about the same distance from Cobham as Gatwick, around 15 to 20 minutes up the M25 in the other direction, so it really comes down to where your flight goes from. Long-haul British Airways and Virgin flights mostly use Heathrow. Gatwick has easyJet’s largest UK base, TUI, Jet2 and many European and holiday routes. We run fixed-fare transfers from Cobham to both.
Coming Home: Gatwick to Cobham
For the trip home, give us your flight number and terminal. Heading home from Gatwick to Cobham usually takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on the time of day. We track the flight, so an early or late landing simply moves the pickup, and you get one hour of free waiting from the time it actually lands. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall; their name and number come with your confirmation.
Getting the Terminal Right
Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, about two minutes apart on the free shuttle train. If you’re dropped at the wrong one, you can switch easily, but it’s better to get it right first time. Check your airline’s terminal before you travel; the flight number on your booking lets us confirm it. When you land, your driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight uses.
Which Vehicle Do You Need?
- Up to three people: saloon at £85.19 to the South Terminal.
- Four people or golf bags and extra cases: estate at £96.47.
- Families of six: people carrier at £113.76, or £18.96 each.
- Up to eight people: 8-seater minivan at £151.37, or £18.92 each.
- Business travel: the Executive car at £113.63.
Children, Mobility Aids and Extra Stops
Add child seats in the booking form and give the children’s ages so the right seats are fitted. If anyone uses a folding wheelchair or walking aid, add a note and choose the estate or people carrier so it travels with the cases. If you need to collect someone in Oxshott or Esher on the way, add an extra stop when you book and it will be in your quote.
If Your Flight Is Delayed
On the way home, your pickup follows the real landing time, and the first hour after landing is free, so a late flight costs you nothing extra. On the way out, if roadworks or an accident close part of the route, your driver will reroute, and the OTS team will keep you updated. For very early flights we plan a little extra time into the pickup.
Paying and Changing Your Booking
Nothing is paid online. The fare is fixed when you book and you pay the driver on the day. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup through Manage My Booking; inside 24 hours, call the OTS team.
