Arriving at Gatwick or Leaving from Horley — Both at £18

Horley RH6 is a town in the Borough of Reigate and Banstead in Surrey, sitting at the county boundary where Surrey meets West Sussex — less than 3 miles south of Gatwick's North Terminal. The borough's proximity to Gatwick makes Horley one of the most frequent origins for pre-booked airport transfers in Surrey. For passengers arriving into Gatwick, the driver collects inside the terminal and brings you home. For departures, collection is from your Horley front door and drop-off at the terminal kerbside. Same £18 both ways.

flight_land
Gatwick Airport → Horley (Arrivals)
It is 23:10. Your Ryanair from Faro has landed. You clear passport control, collect your bags, and walk out of South Terminal arrivals. Your driver is already inside the arrivals hall — not outside at the rank — with your name on a board. The drive to your Horley door takes under 10 minutes. This is the sequence:
£18 saloon
Fare fixed at booking — Gatwick charge inside
  • where_to_voteDriver inside South or North Terminal arrivals — confirmed from your flight number before you land — holding a board with your surname
  • track_changesFlight tracked from the departure airport — if your Ryanair from Lanzarote pushes back, the driver adjusts automatically. Free waiting: 45 minutes from wheels-down — most competitors offer only 30 minutes
  • luggageDriver helps load luggage. Private vehicle — no sharing
  • routeA23 southbound to Massetts Road — your Horley door in 8–12 minutes from the terminal
  • paymentsPay on arrival: cash, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Nothing extra
flight_takeoff
Horley → Gatwick Airport (Departures)
It is 04:30. Your TUI departs at 06:50 from North Terminal. You could walk to Horley station and catch the 04:51 train — two minutes to Gatwick. Or your driver collects from your door at 05:00, has you at the terminal entrance in 10 minutes, and handles the forecourt charge. This is what happens:

  • homeDriver collects from your confirmed Horley address. South Terminal (Ryanair, BA) or North Terminal (easyJet, Jet2) confirmed at booking
  • routeMassetts Road northbound → A23 → Gatwick terminal approach. 8–12 minutes at any hour. Morning peak adds 3–5 minutes on Massetts Road, nowhere else
  • local_parkingDriver enters the correct terminal forecourt — ANPR charge pre-settled via GTT operator account. Your £18 is the total paid
  • door_frontStopped at the terminal entrance kerbside. Luggage out of the boot at the departure doors — no walk from a remote bay
  • airplane_ticketYou walk directly into the check-in hall. From Horley, 1 hour 50 minutes before short-haul departure is realistic — the taxi removes the 15-minute station walk that the train option requires
🌟 Horley-Specific — The Gatwick-Adjacent Town

Horley RH6: Gatwick's Closest Surrey Town — Why the Fare is £18 and Not £46

Horley RH6 sits at the Gatwick perimeter. The town centre is 2.2 miles from Gatwick North Terminal by road. Massetts Road northbound runs directly to the A23 without entering a town centre, crossing a level crossing, or passing through a retail zone. That geography gives Horley drivers two facts they can guarantee: the journey is short, and it is predictable. The only variable on this route is the Massetts Road / A23 junction between 08:00 and 09:00 on weekday mornings — a section that adds 3–5 minutes at most. The rest is A23 dual carriageway. Several websites quote £46–£57 for this 2.2-mile run. Those prices are generated algorithmically by companies that do not run this corridor. The correct pre-booked fare, including the Gatwick £10 ANPR forecourt charge, is £18.

Getting to Gatwick from Horley — What the Distance Actually Means

Horley is 2–3 miles from Gatwick Airport. That is the shortest road distance of any residential town in Surrey. Here is what that means in practice.

🏠 Horley RH6 — Specific Pickup Notes

  • placeHorley town centre — High Street, Victoria Road, Albert Road. Driver approaches from Massetts Road northbound. Most Horley Town pickups take under 2 minutes from the A23 turnoff.
  • placeMeath Green / Ryelands — Western Horley. Driver approaches via Bonehurst Road. Add "Meath Green" to address notes for clarity.
  • placeHorley station area — Court Lodge Road, Station Road. For passengers considering the train from Horley station to Gatwick, the taxi is an alternative that goes directly from your address. Both Court Lodge Road and Station Road addresses are covered at the standard £18.
  • hotelGatwick hotel pickups — Sofitel, Hilton, Crowne Plaza, Bloc, Premier Inn — all within the RH6 Gatwick estate. Confirmed from £15 from any hotel address. See our fleet for vehicle options including executive cars for business hotel pickups.
  • placeCharlwood / Smallfield — Village addresses south-east of Horley. Driver routes via Povey Cross Road or County Oak. Specify the village at booking.

🚌 Train vs Taxi from Horley — The Honest Numbers

Southern Rail and Thameslink from Horley station to Gatwick Airport: 2 minutes. That is not a typo. The numbers below put this in the context of a full door-to-terminal journey.

  • trainHorley station → Gatwick: 2 minutes. Every 15–20 min. Southern and Thameslink services. Fare: £3–5 single. But you walk 10–15 min to Horley station first, then Gatwick station to terminal.
  • directions_carPre-booked taxi (door to terminal): 8–12 minutes total. No station walk, no luggage on a train, driver at your door. £18 including the Gatwick £10 charge.
  • paymentsTwo adults, two suitcases: Train costs £6–10 for both plus luggage management. Taxi costs £9 per head. The train wins by £3–4 for fit passengers with light bags — the taxi wins on comfort, luggage, and when it's raining at 04:30.
  • warningNight trains: Horley station has limited late-night services. The taxi runs at 03:00, 04:00, any hour — same £18.
Bottom line: For a single adult with light bags in daytime, the train is faster and cheaper. For families, heavy luggage, or early morning/late night travel, the taxi wins.
East Surrey Hospital (RH1): Horley passengers connecting at East Surrey Hospital before flying — or returning from medical trips abroad — can book a two-stop journey: East Surrey Hospital pickup, then Gatwick drop. Specify both addresses at booking.
flight_takeoffDepartures — Horley to Gatwick

From Your Horley Door to Gatwick Security — What Happens at Each Stage

Horley is so close to Gatwick that passengers sometimes underestimate the time needed at the airport itself — not the journey. Here is the realistic sequence.

1

Pickup from Your Horley Address

Your driver arrives at your named Horley address at the confirmed time. For Horley town centre addresses on the High Street or Victoria Road, pickup takes under 2 minutes from the A23. Driver details — name, vehicle plate, direct mobile — are sent the evening before your journey. For Charlwood or Smallfield addresses, the driver routes via Povey Cross Road for the quickest approach to Gatwick from those locations.

2

The Drive — 2–3 Miles, Under 12 Minutes

Massetts Road runs 1.1 miles north from Horley town centre to the A23 junction. From that junction, the A23 dual carriageway takes you 1.4 miles directly to the Gatwick terminal spur. The entire route from a Horley High Street pickup to the South Terminal kerbside: 2.5 miles, 8–10 minutes off-peak. North Terminal requires an additional 600 metres on the airport perimeter road. At 03:00 the full run takes 7 minutes. At 08:30 on a weekday morning, the Massetts Road section can add 4–5 minutes — the A23 itself does not back up on this route.

3

Which Gatwick Terminal?

Horley passengers mostly fly from South Terminal (Ryanair, BA, Virgin Atlantic) — South Terminal is the first terminal reached from the A23 approach. North Terminal (easyJet, Jet2, TUI) requires continuing past South Terminal on the approach road. Confirm from your boarding pass — the driver goes directly to whichever terminal you specify.

4

The £10 Forecourt Charge — Already in Your Fare

Every vehicle entering the Gatwick terminal forecourts is charged £10 for the first 10 minutes — there is no physical barrier, just ANPR cameras logging the plate on entry. The charge is settled online by midnight the following day; the Penalty Charge Notice for non-payment is £100. GTT holds a Gatwick operator account and settles this automatically on every Horley booking. Your confirmed £18 includes it. The Gatwick transport page confirms this applies to all private hire vehicles.

5

Drop-Off at Terminal Entrance

The driver pulls into the designated private hire drop-off bay at the correct terminal entrance and stops at the doors. Luggage out of the boot, directly at the terminal kerbside. From here you walk straight into the check-in hall. The Horley to terminal kerbside journey is typically complete in under 12 minutes from departure.

6

Time at the Airport — Don't Underestimate It

Because the taxi journey from Horley takes under 12 minutes, some passengers book too close to departure. Gatwick check-in for easyJet closes 40 minutes before departure. Security lanes can run 20–30 minutes at peak times. Even from Horley, allow 2 hours before departure for short-haul, and 2 hours 45 minutes for long-haul. The journey is short — the terminal is not.

Which Gatwick Terminal?

NORTH North Terminal

easyJet, Jet2, TUI, Norwegian, Vueling. Horley passengers flying budget airlines mostly use North Terminal.

  • easyJet
  • Jet2 / TUI
  • Norwegian (some)
  • Vueling

SOUTH South Terminal

Full-service and Ryanair. South Terminal is the first terminal you reach from the A23 Horley approach.

  • British Airways
  • Ryanair · Wizz Air
  • Virgin Atlantic
  • Emirates · Qatar
Always confirm from your boarding pass. South Terminal is physically closer from Horley — but if your easyJet is from North Terminal, the driver needs to know. If unsure, WhatsApp us your flight number and we confirm before pickup.

Horley ↔ Gatwick — Route & Journey Details

The Horley to Gatwick route is one of the shortest airport transfers in the South East. From Horley town centre, Massetts Road runs north to the A23 dual carriageway. The A23 carries you directly to the Gatwick approach — no motorway needed, no roundabout maze. South Terminal is the first you reach from the A23 — 600 metres further along the airport perimeter road is North Terminal. Total: 2–3 miles, 8–12 minutes. At 03:00 on a Tuesday, the run can be done in 7 minutes flat.

Taxi, Train, or Gatwick Rank from Horley — What Actually Works?

Horley is the only Surrey town where a 2-minute train makes the comparison genuinely interesting. For passengers asking "what is the cheapest way to get from Horley to Gatwick Airport" — the answer depends on group size. This section breaks it down.

train
Train from Horley Station — 2 Minutes, Every 15 Min
Southern Railway and Thameslink run from Horley station to Gatwick Airport every 15–20 minutes, 24 hours. Journey: 2 minutes. Fare: £3–5 single on contactless.

When the train makes sense: One adult, hand luggage only, flexible daytime travel. Horley station to Gatwick Airport is 2 minutes on the train — but that clock starts from the platform, not your front door. Add 10–15 minutes walking to the station and 5–8 minutes from Gatwick station to the terminal departure desk.

When it doesn't: Families with cases (train is public transport). Late-night arrivals with heavy bags. Passengers who cannot walk 15 minutes to the station. The train also requires knowing which platform, which direction, and which terminal your stop is closest to.
local_taxi
Gatwick Taxi Rank — Metered, No Price Guarantee
The Gatwick rank operates metered vehicles. On a 2–3 mile run to Horley, the meter typically reads £15–£22 during the day and £20–£30 after 20:00 under the night tariff — before the journey even begins, you have queued 10–25 minutes.

Rank vehicles do not confirm your fare before travel. They do not track your flight. The driver may or may not know Horley's residential streets well.

Several competitor websites quote £46–£57 for a Horley to Gatwick taxi. That is not the correct fare for 2–3 miles. The pre-booked GTT saloon at £18 — including the £10 Gatwick charge — is the accurate fixed price for this journey.
emoji_transportation
GTT Pre-Booked — £18 Fixed, Door to Terminal
Driver confirmed the night before. Price locked at £18: both directions, all hours, all days. For arrivals, driver in the hall with your name board — no rank queue, no meter surprise.

Works best for: Families with luggage (no station walk), two or more passengers (£9 per head vs £4–5 each on the train — close enough for the door-to-door convenience), early morning or late-night travel, anyone with mobility requirements or oversized luggage, and passengers who simply prefer not to carry cases on public transport.

Train wins for: Fit solo adults with one bag, daytime travel, who are happy with the 15-minute walk to Horley station. The £3–5 train is genuinely cheaper for that specific use case.

🚘 Driving to Gatwick vs Taking a Taxi from Horley

At 2–3 miles, some Horley residents consider driving themselves. The journey takes 8–12 minutes — but Gatwick parking is where the cost rapidly overtakes the taxi.

£36
GTT return (2 × £18) — any trip length
£45–£60
Gatwick long-stay 3 nights pre-booked
£85–£130
Gatwick long-stay 7 nights

From 3 nights onwards, the pre-booked taxi return is cheaper than parking. Book both directions together — two confirmed £18 journeys, no parking fees, no shuttle bus from the car park.

Beyond Gatwick, Horley and RH6 passengers regularly use these services — Heathrow for long-haul connections, Southampton for P&O and Cunard departures, and corporate accounts for Reigate and Redhill businesses with regular airport requirements.

Six Reasons Horley Passengers Book GTT — Not the Rank, Not the Competitors

Things Horley residents notice after their first GTT booking. Verified by passengers who use this corridor regularly — rated 4.9/5 across 52 reviews.

lock
£18 at Booking — Not £46 at the Rank
Several competitor websites advertise Horley to Gatwick taxi at £46–£57. The correct fare for 2–3 miles — including the Gatwick £10 forecourt charge — is £18 for a saloon. The price you see when you confirm your GTT booking is the price you pay when you arrive home. No meter, no night-rate uplift, no variable pricing. See all confirmed fares.
local_parking
The £10 Forecourt Charge — Already Settled
Every vehicle entering the Gatwick terminal forecourt is charged £10 for the first 10 minutes by ANPR camera. This applies to all private hire vehicles, rank taxis, and rideshare cars equally. GTT settles this charge via our operator account before the vehicle enters the forecourt. Your £18 is the total. Nothing else is owed at the terminal.
satellite_alt
Flight Tracked — Even When It's Late from Lanzarote
A Horley passenger's TUI flight from Lanzarote pushed back 75 minutes. Tracking began at Lanzarote Airport. By the time the aircraft landed at Gatwick, the driver had adjusted without being contacted. The free 45-minute waiting window began from actual wheels-down. Home to Horley in 9 minutes. The £18 did not change. This is how the service works on every booking — the flight number activates tracking, not a phone call.
verified_user
TfL PCO Licensed — Required for All Gatwick Collections
Gatwick Airport Byelaws require a current TfL PCO licence for any private hire vehicle collecting passengers at the terminals. This is especially relevant for Horley residents, Gatwick airport staff, and aviation workers who use the terminal regularly — a Surrey-issued private hire licence alone does not meet the Byelaw requirement. All GTT drivers hold TfL PCO certification alongside enhanced DBS clearance and commercial airport insurance. Without PCO certification, a Gatwick terminal collection is not permitted. Before booking any Horley taxi for a Gatwick pickup, verify the operator's PCO licence number.
child_care
Child Seats — All Types, No Extra Charge
Infant seats (Group 0+), forward-facing child seats (Group 1), and booster seats (Group 2–3) are available at no charge from Horley. Specify ages and weights at booking — the correct seat is fitted before the driver leaves for your address. Horley families heading to Gatwick for package holidays commonly use the MPV with child seats for the whole family in one vehicle.
nights_stay
Same Price at 03:00 as at 13:00
Booking an early morning taxi from Horley to Gatwick Airport is one of the most common requests on this route. The 04:45 easyJet, the 05:20 TUI, the 06:00 Ryanair — all need a departure from your RH6 door between 03:30 and 04:30. The confirmed £18 saloon fare applies at those hours as it does at 14:00 on a Wednesday. No overnight rate, no bank holiday premium, no Friday-evening surcharge.

How Booking Works — and When to Book

Book at gatwicktaxitransfer.com, WhatsApp +44 20 3617 7825, or call at any hour. For Horley and Surrey businesses with regular Gatwick needs — staff arrivals, client pickups, hotel runs — our Corporate Account provides monthly VAT invoicing and a dedicated portal without per-trip card payments. For standard Horley to Gatwick bookings, 24 hours advance notice is sufficient. For peak summer weekends, bank holiday travel, and Christmas/New Year runs, book 48–72 hours ahead. Same-day and last-minute bookings (under 4 hours) are accepted subject to availability — call rather than book online for fastest confirmation.

1
Enter Your Horley Address
For arrivals into Horley: Gatwick Airport as pickup, your RH6 full address as destination. For departures: your home address — street and postcode — as pickup. Gatwick North or South Terminal as destination. For Victoria Road and Massetts Road area addresses, the system recognises the postcode and prices automatically. For Charlwood, Burstow, or Smallfield addresses, include the village name in the address field to ensure correct routing.
2
Add Your Flight Number
Flight number — e.g. EZY2417 (North Terminal), BA2755 (South Terminal), FR2045 (South Terminal) — locks the terminal and activates tracking from the origin airport. Horley passengers flying Ryanair to Lanzarote use South Terminal. Those on easyJet to Amsterdam use North Terminal. If your number is not available at booking time, add it via the link in the confirmation email before the journey date.
3
Select Vehicle & See the £18 Confirmed
Saloon £18 (1–3 passengers, 2 bags), estate £22–£25 (extra luggage capacity), executive Mercedes £30–£35, MPV £28–£38 (up to 7 passengers). The total displayed includes the Gatwick £10 ANPR forecourt charge. What you see at this step is what you pay at journey end — no separate invoice, no airport surcharge added later.
4
Confirm Booking — Driver Contacts You the Evening Before
Confirmation by email and SMS within 60 seconds. The evening before travel, a second message arrives with driver name, vehicle make and registration, and a direct mobile number. For Horley departures, the driver arrives at your RH6 address at the confirmed time — they do not call ahead unless there is a problem. For Gatwick arrivals, your surname appears on a board in the arrivals hall as you exit baggage reclaim.

East Surrey Hospital — Local Transfers
East Surrey Hospital in Redhill (RH1 5RH) is the primary NHS hospital serving Horley residents. A taxi from Horley to East Surrey Hospital runs approximately 12–16 minutes via the A23 northbound to Redhill town centre. Confirmed fare from £14–£18. For patients with mobility requirements, specify at booking. Return journeys — including post-appointment pickups — can be pre-booked with a specific collection window. The hospital car park charges £3.50–£7 per visit; the taxi return is competitive and drops to your Horley door.

Shopping Trips — Victoria Road, Redhill & The Belfry
For Horley residents without a car, or for those who prefer not to drive to town on weekends, a local taxi covers the main shopping options: Horley High Street (Victoria Road shops, Morrison's, Waitrose), Redhill town centre (The Belfry shopping centre, 12 min via A23), and Crawley (County Mall, 10 min via A23 southbound). Confirm pickup and return times at booking — the driver waits or returns at an agreed time. Same confirmed fare structure, same professional driver.

School Runs — Court Lodge Road & Local Schools
Regular school run taxis from Horley to local schools — including Horley Infant School (Court Lodge Road), Horley Junior School, and Oakwood School — can be arranged on a recurring daily booking. Fixed morning pickup time, confirmed driver, direct drop-off at the school gate. For families where both parents work and public transport timings don't fit the school day, a regular morning taxi from Horley addresses this without per-day admin. Contact +44 20 3617 7825 to discuss regular booking rates.
celebration
Nights Out — Ye Olde Six Bells, Il Sorriso & Town Centre
Horley has a compact but lively town centre on Victoria Road and High Street — the Ye Olde Six Bells pub, Il Sorriso restaurant, and several other venues draw evening visitors. A return taxi — one booking for the outward journey, WhatsApp for the return — means no parking, no driving limit concerns, and no waiting at a rank. For Horley residents heading to Crawley, Redhill, or Reigate for the evening, the confirmed fare structure applies to evening and late-night runs at the same rate as daytime.
business_center
Business Travel — Redhill, Crawley Manor Royal & London
Horley's position between Gatwick and the M25 makes it a base for commuters working in Redhill, Crawley's Manor Royal, or London. For business days that require an early start or late finish — where the train is impractical — a fixed-fare taxi from your Horley door to Redhill station (12–15 min), Crawley Manor Royal (10–14 min), or Central London (50–60 min via A23/M23/M25) provides a cost-confirmed alternative. Corporate accounts with monthly invoicing available.
train
Horley Rail Station — Taxi to Platform
For Horley passengers who want to travel by rail but need a taxi to the station — particularly those on the western side of town where the walk is 20+ minutes — a short local transfer from your door to Horley station (£8–£10) connects you to the full Southern and Thameslink network. London Victoria in 34–38 minutes. Gatwick Airport in 2 minutes. This covers the gap for residents who want train pricing but can't walk to the station with luggage.

The correct pre-booked fare from Horley RH6 to Gatwick Airport is £18 for a saloon — including Gatwick's mandatory £10 ANPR forecourt charge. If a site is quoting more than £25 for this specific run, the forecourt charge is likely being added separately on arrival, or the operator is simply applying an incorrect rate. Always confirm the total at booking.
The train from Horley station to Gatwick Airport takes 2 minutes — but the total door-to-terminal journey is 20–28 minutes including the walk to Horley station (10–15 min depending on your address) and the walk from Gatwick station to the terminal desk (5–8 min). The pre-booked taxi from your front door to the terminal kerbside: 8–12 minutes. For one adult with a shoulder bag, the £3–5 train makes clear sense. For two adults with checked luggage — or anyone whose Horley address is more than 5 minutes from the station — the taxi is faster door-to-terminal.
Yes. All Horley addresses are door-to-door. Lumley Road and Balcombe Road pickups approach via Station Road. Victoria Road and High Street addresses come via Massetts Road. For properties with shared entrances, gates, or specific access notes, add these in the booking notes field — the driver reads them before departure. Driver name, vehicle plate, and direct mobile are sent the evening before so you know exactly what to look for.
For a 06:45 easyJet from North Terminal: bag drop closes at 06:05. Allow 10 minutes for the A23 run from Horley at that hour. Leave Horley by 05:40–05:45 — you arrive at North Terminal by 05:55, giving 10 minutes before bag drop closes. Most Horley passengers on early easyJet departures book a 05:30 pickup — this provides a 15-minute buffer at the terminal, which is useful as North Terminal bag drop and security desks can have short queues even at 06:00.
Yes — all covered at confirmed fixed fares. Salfords RH1: £18, 10–14 minutes. Meath Green RH6: £18, 10–14 minutes. Charlwood RH6: £20, 12–16 minutes. Smallfield RH6: £20, 14–18 minutes. Newchapel / Blindley Heath RH7: £22, 16–20 minutes. Lingfield RH7: £22, 18–22 minutes. For any other Surrey or West Sussex postcode: +44 20 3617 7825 for an immediate quote.
Free waiting of 45 minutes begins from actual touchdown — not the scheduled arrival time. If your Ryanair from Alicante lands at 23:15 and baggage reclaim takes 35 minutes, you are still within the free window when you exit at 23:50. The driver is in the arrivals hall with your name board throughout. Beyond the 45-minute free window, additional waiting time is charged at £10 per 30 minutes. The base £18 fare is not affected by delay length. The drive home to Horley from South Terminal is 9 minutes.
For very short trips (1 night), parking and taxi are close in cost. For anything longer: 3 nights Gatwick long-stay: £45–£60. Return taxi (two × £18 = £36): cheaper. 1 week: £85–£130 parking vs £36 taxi return — saving of £50–£95 by taking the taxi. Horley's proximity to Gatwick makes self-driving feel natural, but the car park shuttle and daily rate erode that logic quickly. For a week abroad, the taxi return costs less than two nights of Gatwick parking.
Yes — specify "pet travelling" in the booking notes with at least 24 hours notice. A pet-friendly driver is allocated. Small to medium dogs travel in the footwell or on a blanket. Larger dogs are accommodated in the estate boot. Cats in carriers are accepted. Horley passengers returning from holidays who need to collect a dog from boarding kennels near RH6 can add a secondary stop to the return journey at booking.
Yes — infant seats (Group 0+, rear-facing), forward-facing child seats (Group 1), and booster seats (Group 2–3) are all available at no charge. Specify ages and approximate weights at booking — the driver fits the correct seats before leaving for your Horley address. For a family of four heading to Gatwick South Terminal for a summer package, a 5-seat MPV with two child seats and four cases travels as one booking at £28–£38. Full guidance: Taxi with Baby Seat in UK.
Yes. The GTT Corporate Account covers all RH6 Horley, RH1 Salfords, and RH2 Reigate addresses. Staff book via an online portal — no per-trip card required. Monthly VAT invoice sent to the company. Multiple staff profiles on one account. Horley is well-placed for corporate Gatwick runs: A23 direct, no toll roads, consistent journey times. Call +44 20 3617 7825 to set up an account.
Yes. Taxi from Horley to Heathrow Airport is approximately 28–32 miles via the M25 and M4 — 45–55 minutes off-peak. Fixed fare from £55. Same booking process: price confirmed at booking, driver confirmed the night before, meet and greet at arrivals. Horley is equally well-placed for Heathrow transfers — M25 access from the A23/M23 at Junction 8. Also covered: Stansted and Luton from the same Horley address.
Gatwick Airport charges £10 for any vehicle using the terminal drop-off forecourts — enforced by ANPR cameras 24 hours a day. The charge applies to every vehicle type: private hire, rideshare, and self-drive drop-off. Payment is made online by midnight the following day; the Penalty Charge Notice for non-payment is £100. GTT holds a Gatwick operator account and settles this charge automatically before entry on every trip. Your confirmed £18 is the total paid. Nothing is added at the terminal. See Gatwick Airport's vehicle charges page.
