Fixed-Price Minicabs, Not Metered Fares
A traditional minicab or local taxi firm often quotes on the day, which means the price can vary with demand, traffic or which controller you speak to. Every minicab to Gatwick Airport booked through us is priced in advance based on your pickup address, drop-off terminal and vehicle type, so you know the exact cost before you book — not an estimate that changes on arrival.
Booking Your Minicab to Gatwick Airport
Book online in a couple of minutes with your pickup address, travel date, flight details and passenger numbers, or call our team 24/7. We recommend booking as early as possible for early morning departures and peak holiday dates, when demand for minicabs to Gatwick Airport is highest.
On the Day
Your driver will arrive at your pickup address in good time for your check-in window, allowing extra time for traffic on the way to Gatwick Airport. If you’re catching an early flight, we factor in typical traffic conditions at that time of day when confirming your pickup time.
Vehicle Options
- Saloon & estate cars for 1-4 passengers
- Executive cars for business travel — see our VIP & executive transfers
- MPVs and minibuses for larger groups — see our Gatwick Airport minibus hire
Why Choose Onward Travel Solutions
We run fixed-price airport and port transfers across Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City, plus Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover, for individual travellers, families, groups and corporate accounts. Every booking carries the same standard: a price agreed before you travel, free flight tracking, meet & greet as standard, and drivers who are licensed, insured and DBS-checked.
We’d rather earn repeat bookings by being reliably on time and correctly priced than compete purely on the cheapest headline fare — which is why our pricing is transparent from the first quote rather than adjusted once you’re at the airport.
What Affects Your Price
Your fixed price is based on a small number of factors agreed at booking: pickup and drop-off location, vehicle class, time of travel and passenger numbers. Once confirmed, that price doesn’t change because of traffic, a longer route on the day, or your flight landing later than scheduled.
This is different from a metered taxi, where the fare keeps running if you’re stuck in traffic, or a ride-hailing app, where the price can rise sharply during surge periods such as early mornings, late nights or bad weather. Booking in advance with a fixed price removes both of those risks.
Peace of Mind, Start to Finish
You’ll receive a booking confirmation with all the details of your journey as soon as you book, and a reminder with your driver’s details ahead of travel. If your plans change — a different flight time, an extra passenger, a different pickup address — just get in touch and we’ll update your booking, usually at no extra cost provided you give us reasonable notice.
How Booking Works

What’s Always Included
- A fixed price agreed before you travel — no meter, no surge pricing
- Free flight tracking on every journey involving a flight
- Meet & greet with a name board at every airport pickup
- 60 minutes of free waiting time on international arrivals (30 minutes domestic)
- Child seats available on request at no extra charge

Licensed, Insured & DBS-Checked
Every driver providing this route is licensed and DBS-checked, and every vehicle is fully insured for private hire and maintained to the standard required for licensed passenger transport. You’ll receive your driver’s name and vehicle details ahead of travel, so there’s no uncertainty about who to expect.
As a licensed private hire operator, every journey is pre-booked rather than hailed — which is what allows us to confirm your price, driver and vehicle in advance, rather than leaving any of that to chance on the day.
Coverage Area
Alongside airport transfers, Onward Travel Solutions also covers UK seaport transfers to Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover cruise terminals, plus event and venue travel across London and the South East. Whether you’re travelling to a terminal building, a cruise port or a conference venue, the same fixed-price, meet & greet standard applies.
