Drop-off: Departing from Gatwick South Terminal

Our drivers use the free forecourt drop-off zone on the departures level. This allows up to 10 minutes free — more than enough to unload luggage. The South Terminal forecourt is directly outside the check-in area, so you're steps away from the easyJet, Wizz Air, and TUI check-in desks.

Gatwick South Terminal: Railway Station Connection

Gatwick South Terminal has the railway station directly connected to it — the Gatwick Express to Victoria, Thameslink to Kings Cross/St Pancras, and Southern trains to Brighton all stop here. However, arriving by taxi is significantly more comfortable — particularly with luggage, children, or after a long flight. No platform queues, no escalators, no standing on crowded carriages.

Late Night easyJet & Budget Carrier Arrivals

Budget airlines regularly operate late-night flights landing at Gatwick South Terminal after 10pm. By this time, the Gatwick Express has stopped running and train services are reduced. Our 24/7 taxi service ensures you can get home safely regardless of what time you land.
