A taxi from Gatwick to Crawley costs £33 in a saloon. It is a fixed route price, the same from the North and South Terminals and at any hour, with the airport fee already included.
Crawley starts where the airport ends. The town centre is about 6 miles away, with the Manor Royal business district in between, so the drive itself is short. What makes the difference on this trip is being met inside the terminal and having a car big enough for your bags.

Train, bus or taxi?
Crawley is well served from Gatwick. Frequent direct trains run to Crawley and Three Bridges stations, and local buses link the airport with the town. If you are travelling alone with a small bag and live near a station, they are the cheapest option.
A pre-booked car is worth it when:
- You have more than one suitcase each. Stations and buses are hard work with a family’s holiday luggage.
- You land late. Our fare is the same at 1am as at 1pm, and the driver is waiting when you come through.
- You are going to Manor Royal for work. The executive car is £45 and goes to the door of your office or hotel.
Which car?
A saloon carries three people and three suitcases. Four people with a case each need the estate (£38). A family with a pushchair or car seats is better in the people carrier (£45, 6 seats and 5 cases). The 8-seater (£66) suits two families sharing.
Meeting your driver
Your driver waits for you inside the arrivals hall at the North or South Terminal, holding a name board. We follow your flight number, and you have one hour of free waiting after the flight lands. Our flight delays and waiting time page explains what happens if the delay runs longer.
You can check your flight and terminal on Gatwick’s official flight information page.
North or South Terminal?
The fare is the same from both, but your driver needs to know where to wait. easyJet flies from both terminals, so check your booking rather than guessing. British Airways, Ryanair, Wizz Air and Jet2 use the South Terminal; Emirates, Qatar Airways and most long-haul carriers on the North side. If you land at the wrong one, Gatwick’s free shuttle between terminals runs every few minutes, 24 hours a day, and takes about two minutes.
Going back to Gatwick
For the outbound trip, the fare is the same £33. Your driver waits 10 minutes free at your door, which on a run this short is the main thing to plan around: have the bags ready before the car arrives. If you book both directions at once, put the return flight number in the notes so we can follow that flight too.
Business travel around Manor Royal
Manor Royal is Crawley’s main business district and sits between the airport and the town. If you are visiting a company there, put the company name and unit number in the booking notes. Many sites have their own gatehouse or visitor entrance, and a precise note saves a lap of the estate.
