A taxi from Farnham to Gatwick costs £107.88 in a saloon to the South Terminal and £104.82 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 Farnham is priced on distance and comes out within a few pounds of the same.
Farnham is on the western edge of Surrey, right on the Hampshire border, about 35 miles from Gatwick. There’s no direct train, and the rail route means a change at Guildford and around an hour and a half on the move, so most people flying from Gatwick book a taxi. The drive usually takes 55 minutes to an hour and 10 minutes, and a fixed fare means you know the cost before you set off, whatever the A3 and M25 are doing.

The Drive From Farnham to Gatwick
The usual route is the A31 over the Hog’s Back to Guildford, the A3 north to the M25 at junction 10, then anticlockwise to junction 7 and the M23 spur into the airport. When the A3 or the M25 is jammed, drivers sometimes go cross-country instead, along the A25 through Shere and Dorking and on towards Reigate and the airport. Both take roughly an hour at quiet times. In the weekday morning peak, the A3 into Guildford and the M25 around junction 10 are the slow points, so for a morning flight we build extra time into the pickup.
Planning an Early Flight
Airlines usually want you at Gatwick two hours before short-haul and three before long-haul. From Farnham we’d suggest:
| Flight time | Suggested pickup in Farnham |
|---|---|
| 6:00am short-haul | 2:45am to 3:00am |
| 8:30am short-haul | 5:00am (morning traffic) |
| 11:00am long-haul | 6:30am |
| 3:00pm short-haul | 11:30am to 11:45am |
Taxi or Train?
By rail you’d travel from Farnham towards Guildford, often with a change at Aldershot, then take the Great Western Railway service from Guildford that runs through Dorking and Redhill to Gatwick. Allow around an hour and a half, with at least one change. The Guildford to Gatwick service is useful in the daytime, but it runs roughly once an hour, so a missed connection costs you an hour. For an early flight, or with cases, a taxi from your door is far simpler.
Farnham Pickups
We pick up anywhere in Farnham, from the town centre streets around Castle Street and the Lion and Lamb Yard to the villages south of the town. Students and staff at the University for the Creative Arts and families flying out for the holidays are among our regular passengers. If you’re in a rural spot with a long drive or no clear house number, add directions in the booking notes.
Leaving the Car at Home
From Farnham, driving to Gatwick and leaving the car in the long-stay car park for a week or two often costs about as much as a return taxi once fuel is included, and you still need the shuttle bus at the airport. With a taxi there’s no parking to book and no long drive home after a night flight.
Areas Around Farnham We Cover
The same fixed-fare service to Gatwick covers Wrecclesham, Rowledge, Frensham, Tilford, the Bourne, Badshot Lea, Hale, Tongham, Ash and Seale. Enter your full address in the booking form to see the price from your door.
Gatwick or Heathrow From Farnham?
From Farnham, Heathrow and Gatwick are a similar distance away: Heathrow is about 30 miles up the M3, Gatwick about 35 miles east. Long-haul British Airways and Virgin flights mostly leave from Heathrow, while Gatwick handles a large share of holiday and short-haul travel, including easyJet’s biggest UK base, TUI and Jet2. We run fixed fares from Farnham to both, so it’s simply a case of where your flight departs.
Coming Home: Gatwick to Farnham
For the trip home, give us your flight number and terminal. The drive home to Farnham usually takes around an hour, longer in the evening rush. 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 £107.88 to the South Terminal.
- Four people or extra luggage: estate at £121.93, or £30.48 each.
- Five or six people: people carrier at £143.39, or £23.90 each.
- Up to eight: 8-seater minivan at £190.73, or £23.84 each.
- Business travel: the Executive car at £145.12.
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 Guildford or another village on the way, add an extra stop when you book and it’s included in the 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.
What’s Included in the Fare
The price you see covers the whole journey for the vehicle, including any airport fees shown in your quote. On airport pickups it also includes flight tracking and the first hour of waiting after landing. There are no extra charges for luggage that fits the vehicle you booked, and no surge pricing at busy times.
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.
Why Book With Onward Travel Solutions?
