Gatwick to Chelsea: common questions
How long does a taxi from Gatwick to Chelsea take?
The drive is about 30 miles, typically 58 minutes to 1 h 18 min door to door: at the quicker end late at night or early in the morning, and at the slower end in the weekday peaks of roughly 7 to 10am and 4 to 7pm.

Gatwick Express trains leave the South Terminal twice an hour and reach London Victoria in about 30 minutes. You would still need to get from Victoria to Chelsea with your luggage. A Rushxo car goes straight to the door for a fixed £153, and for a group that is one fare instead of several tickets plus an onward journey.

Can I pre-book Gatwick to Chelsea for a late-night arrival?
Yes. Rushxo runs 24/7; give us your flight number and we follow the landing time, so a late flight does not mean a missed pickup.

Gatwick Airport to Chelsea: how this direction works
Landing at Gatwick Airport: your driver tracks the flight, so a late arrival moves the pickup rather than losing it.

Dropped in Chelsea: to the door of the address you give, with nothing to settle on arrival. The fare, £153 for the car, was agreed when you booked, and a return booked together is about 10% less.

The small print, in one line: the free hour of waiting at Gatwick Airport counts from actual touchdown; cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup; child seats are fitted free when you give ages at booking; an executive saloon or chauffeur-driven car can be chosen at booking; and Christmas and New Year supplements are shown in your quote before you book (seasonal fares).
