FAQ
Gatwick ⇄ Guildford — common questions
How much is a taxi from Gatwick to Guildford?
From £55 in a saloon, £70 in an MPV 6-seater, £85 in an 8-seater — fixed at booking, same both directions, with meet-and-greet, flight tracking, 60 minutes free waiting and free child seats included. No meter, no surge.
How long does the journey take?
Typically 40–55 minutes for the ~28 miles via M23, M25 (J8–J10) and A3 — up to 60–75 in weekday M25 peaks, with the A25 via Dorking as the live alternative when the motorway is blocked.
Isn't there a direct train?
There is — the North Downs line runs Gatwick–Guildford direct in roughly 40–50 minutes, and it's a fair option travelling light. It's roughly hourly, thins out late evening, has modest luggage space, and ends at the station rather than your door. Woking has no direct service at all — the train there means a change with all your luggage.
Can I get a car today, last minute?
Usually — dispatch is 24/7 and same-day bookings go at the standard fixed prices with no premium. Typical lead time is 30–90 minutes subject to availability, tighter in school-holiday peaks. WhatsApp is the fastest channel; child seats at short notice are confirmed before you commit.
Do you provide child seats on this route?
Free, in every vehicle class — infant carriers, child seats and high-back boosters, fitted before the car reaches your door or before you land. Full details on the child seats guide.
Do you cover Woking, Godalming and the villages?
All of West Surrey — Woking, Godalming, Cranleigh, Farnham and every village around Guildford — at fixed fares both directions. Anywhere not in the table is quoted in minutes by phone or WhatsApp.
What if my flight into Gatwick is delayed?
We dispatch to your actual landing time, not the booking time — the driver adjusts automatically at no charge, with 60 minutes free waiting from touchdown.
