Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice 2026From a Luton Arrival to a Gatwick Departure
A private taxi removes the need to reach Luton Airport Parkway, carry luggage between rail services or wait for a scheduled coach. The same vehicle takes the booked party from the Luton meeting point to the required Gatwick terminal.
The road distance is roughly 70–75 miles. A typical drive is around 90–120 minutes, although congestion on the M1, M25 or M23 can make the journey longer.

Plan Your Luton-to-Gatwick Airport Connection Change
Allow for the steps on both sides of the road journey rather than working only from an estimated drive time.
Leave Luton arrivals
Account for disembarking, border formalities where applicable, baggage reclaim and the walk to the meeting location.
Cross the motorway network
The usual corridor runs south on the M1, around the M25 and onto the M23, but the driver may adapt to live conditions.
Reach the correct Gatwick terminal
North and South Terminal have separate approaches, so the onward flight details should be supplied in advance.
Complete departure formalities
Leave enough time after drop-off for unloading, check-in or bag drop, security and reaching the gate.
Luton Airport Collection After Landing
Submit the arriving flight number so the booking can be monitored. Once you have cleared the necessary arrival procedures and collected every bag, follow the confirmed instructions to the pre-booked meeting point.
General information about collection arrangements and other Luton Airport transfers is available on the main airport page.

Which Gatwick Terminal Do You Need?
London Gatwick operates North Terminal and South Terminal. Check the onward flight or airline’s current information before the taxi leaves Luton; a previous journey is not a reliable guide.
The main Gatwick Airport taxis page covers the wider transfer service. Airline allocation, the inter-terminal shuttle and facilities are explained separately in our Gatwick North and South Terminal page.
Gatwick North Terminal
Select North when it is shown for the onward flight.
Gatwick South Terminal
Select South when it is shown in the latest departure details.
Taxi, Train or Coach to Gatwick?
Consider luggage handling, station transfers, service times and the Gatwick terminal—not only the scheduled travel time.
Pre-booked taxi
Direct from the airport meeting point to the chosen Gatwick terminal, useful when travelling as a family, group or with substantial luggage.
Train
Rail can be efficient, but Luton passengers first use the DART to Luton Airport Parkway before a Thameslink service toward Gatwick Airport station.
Coach
Scheduled coach travel may cost less, but journey times and departure frequencies must fit the onward flight.
Choose the Vehicle Around the Bags
Seat count alone does not confirm that a vehicle can carry the whole booking. Include suitcases, cabin bags, pushchairs, wheelchairs and oversized items so the appropriate luggage capacity can be checked.
Elite uses licensed and insured private-hire drivers and provides flight monitoring, 60 minutes of complimentary waiting after landing, free cancellation up to three hours before collection, and 24/7 assistance.
For travel in the other direction, the Gatwick Airport to Luton Airport taxi page is organised around Gatwick collection and arrival at Luton departures.
