One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the South Terminal to an office unit on Manor Royal, the North Terminal to a house in Three Bridges, or the Caterham Cars site to the South Terminal after a factory visit. For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for a departure, you set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: from the North Terminal to a hotel close to Manor Royal when a working week begins, and from the hotel to Gatwick for Friday's flight out. If several colleagues come for the same week, book them early. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pick-up times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.
Hourly Service
Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at LGW, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

London Gatwick Airport to Crawley: Route and Drive Time

Gatwick is part of Crawley: the airport sits inside the borough boundary, at its northern end. The ride to the town centre measures 5 miles, normally 20–30 minutes, the nearest airport run a Crawley resident can book.

Between the runway and the centre lies Manor Royal, the town's main business district, and the M23 runs down the eastern side of Crawley with Junctions 10 and 11 serving it. Whether the car uses the motorway or the local roads depends on where you are going: a unit on Manor Royal, a home in Three Bridges near the main-line station, or a hotel in the town centre.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. In the booking, include the terminal and the Crawley street with its neighbourhood or estate.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Gatwick Airport

In 2025 Gatwick handled 42.8 million passengers, second in London only to Heathrow, through two terminals, North and South. Each terminal has a Short Stay car park where Gatwick wants collections to happen; give your terminal in the booking and the car goes there.

Before landing, check which terminal your airline uses. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

For airline and airport staff who live in Crawley and come back as passengers after a trip, the car means the last part of the journey home is short and fixed to the landing, not to a bus timetable.

Arriving at Your Address in Crawley

Crawley was planned as a new town after the Second World War, so it is laid out in neighbourhoods around a central shopping area. Three Bridges, on the east side, has the station on the Brighton Main Line; Crawley station serves the town centre.

On Manor Royal, the road name alone may not identify the building, as offices and works share the estates. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up; add the company name and unit number for an office.

Since 2013 Crawley has been home to Caterham Cars, builder of the Caterham Seven. A visitor flying in to collect a car or meet the company can go from the terminal straight to the factory address.

From Crawley Back to London Gatwick Airport

Going back, allow the same 20–30 minutes on an ordinary day, then check-in and security time at the terminal on top. Count from the drive itself, not from a set hour. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

The departure terminal matters even on a short ride, since almost a mile separates the North Terminal from the South. Look up the terminal on your ticket shortly before the day and put it in the booking.

If you leave from Manor Royal in the evening rush hour, set the pick-up a little earlier to allow for traffic at the M23 junctions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your airport transfer with Bookinglane.

How far is Crawley town centre from Gatwick?

5 miles, normally 20–30 minutes by car from either terminal. Manor Royal, between the airport and the centre, is closer still; give the exact address and your terminal when you book.

My airline says the flight into Gatwick will land two hours late. Is my Crawley transfer still on?

Yes. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so the delay is taken into account. Adding the flight number when you book is all that is needed.

On landing at Gatwick, where is my chauffeur?

At your arrival terminal; Gatwick points collecting drivers to the Short Stay car park there. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Where is Manor Royal?

Manor Royal is Crawley's main business district, between the town centre and Gatwick. Its offices and works stand on several estates, so give the company name and unit number with the road, and the chauffeur heads for the right building.

Six of us fly in with sample cases for a week of meetings. Which vehicle fits?

One Sprinter van is enough: it has room for up to 12 passengers, so six of you travel with the cases on board. List every case and display stand in the booking, so the vehicle is matched to the load.

What do you need to know about London Gatwick Airport in 2026–2027?

The government approved the Northern Runway in September 2025, and since the Court of Appeal turned down a further challenge in August 2026 no legal step remains; the airport has named no construction start. Its hourly cap on scheduled flights went up from 55 to 57 for 2026.
