Helpful airport transfer information from Airports Taxi UK, with private booking support for journeys across the UK.
If you’re in Kingston and searching “taxi near me” for a Gatwick run, here’s the honest version: it’s about 22 miles away and takes roughly 35-50 min depending on traffic. Kingston is a relatively short, straightforward run, though most local operators focus on Heathrow given the proximity and don’t give Gatwick the same attention.
35-50 min covers it in normal conditions, running via the A3 then A24/M25 to the M23. Early mornings and late evenings are consistently the quickest; weekday rush hour on the M25 section is where most of the variability comes from.
We collect from all over Kingston, including around Kingston town centre, the Bentalls Centre and Kingston University, plus the surrounding residential streets. Wherever your postcode sits, the fixed fare is the same — no extra charge for being a few streets further out.
Priced by pickup postcode and vehicle size like every route on our network, fixed at booking. Whatever the traffic does on the day, it doesn’t change what you pay.
Standard saloons cover most couples and small families; if there are more of you or you’re travelling with extra luggage, our 8 seater and 7 seater options keep everyone together in one car rather than splitting into two.
From Kingston upon Thames, Gatwick is about 29 miles by road. Drivers usually take the A243 south through Chessington to the M25 at junction 9, then head east to junction 7 and down the M23.
Going across through Sutton and Banstead to the M23 is the alternative. It avoids the M25 entirely and can be quicker when the motorway is busy.
For most departures, a pickup two and a half to three hours before your flight is right from Kingston. We’ll suggest a time when you book.
We cover Kingston town centre, Surbiton, New Malden, Tolworth, Chessington and Norbiton.
