Airport-to-airport transfer

Pre-booked transfer from Edinburgh Airport to Gatwick Airport

Plan a direct private hire journey from Edinburgh Airport to London Gatwick Airport. This airport-to-airport page keeps the arrival flight, agreed meeting point, passenger and luggage details, onward flight and required terminal arrival time together in one pre-booked transfer request.

This directional journey starts at Edinburgh Airport and ends at London Gatwick Airport. It is not a through-airline connection: the road transfer is a separate private hire booking, and passengers remain responsible for baggage collection, border procedures, terminal changes, airline check-in rules and allowing enough time for the onward flight.

Collection at Edinburgh Airport

Keep the passenger phone switched on after arrival at Edinburgh Airport. Large terminals, baggage delays and restricted vehicle areas can affect the collection sequence, so follow the meeting instructions recorded in the confirmed booking rather than moving to another area without notice.

Provide the arriving flight number
Confirm terminal and meeting method
Keep the passenger mobile available

Arrival at Gatwick Airport

A general reference to Gatwick Airport may not identify the required terminal. Add the onward flight number, airline and planned check-in time so the road transfer can be considered against the passenger's actual departure requirement.

Check the onward airline and terminal
Set a required airport arrival time
Allow for check-in and security

Passenger, luggage and return details

Include the final passenger total, checked and cabin luggage, child-seat requests, mobility needs and any unusually large items when asking for the quote. A vehicle is selected from the confirmed requirements rather than the route title alone.

Confirm passenger and luggage totals
List every requested stop
Book reverse travel as a separate leg

Planning the airport connection

This is a road transfer between two separate airports, not an airside connection. Passengers normally need to complete the arrival process at Edinburgh Airport, meet the driver, travel by road and complete departure procedures again at Gatwick Airport.

Allow a conservative road-transfer margin
Account for baggage and border procedures
Do not treat this as an airside connection

Frequently asked questions

Can I pre-book a taxi from Edinburgh Airport to Gatwick Airport?

Yes. Provide both flights, terminals where known, passenger and luggage totals, the Edinburgh Airport meeting details and the required arrival time at Gatwick Airport.

Is this an airline-protected connection?

No. It is a separate private hire road journey. The passenger is responsible for choosing enough time and complying with both airlines' requirements.

Do you guarantee the onward flight?

No. Flights, terminal processing and road conditions can change. The customer must allow an appropriate buffer and monitor the airline itinerary.

Will the passenger need to collect checked luggage?

That depends on the airline itinerary, but an airport-to-airport road transfer normally requires the passenger to complete the arrival process and meet the driver with their luggage.

Can I book the reverse journey from Gatwick Airport to Edinburgh Airport?

Yes. Supply the reverse leg's own date, time, arriving flight, departure flight, terminals and passenger requirements.
