One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the North Terminal to a bed and breakfast near Dorking Deepdene, the South Terminal to the Denbies estate for a tasting, or a cottage below Box Hill to the North Terminal for a flight after lunch. 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 South Terminal to a hotel in Dorking for a weekend of walks and tastings, and back to Gatwick when the visit ends. In summer and in December, cars in the area are in demand, so book once your flights are set. 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 Dorking: Route and Drive Time

Dorking is west of Gatwick, at the point where the A24 from London crosses the A25 at the foot of the North Downs. From the terminals to the town centre it is 14 miles, normally 40–55 minutes. The usual way runs north-west to Reigate and then west along the A25 under the hills, through the villages between the two towns.

Your address inside Dorking shapes the last few minutes. The Denbies vineyards spread over the hillside west of the A24, Box Hill rises to the north-east of the town, and the old centre lies around the High Street and West Street. Each of these is reached from a different side of the town.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. The A25 passes through Reigate town centre, so a weekday rush hour there can lengthen the ride by more than the distance suggests.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Gatwick Airport

At Gatwick, passengers land at one of two terminals, North or South; give your terminal in the booking and the car goes there. Pick-ups use the Short Stay car park on the side of the terminal you arrive at.

For arrivals, 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.

Dorking also has a rail link with the airport. Great Western Railway trains on the North Downs line run from Gatwick via Redhill and Reigate towards Guildford and Reading, and Dorking Deepdene is on the route. The stopping pattern varies through the day, and not every train calls at every station, so the car is the simpler choice with luggage or a late arrival.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Gatwick Airport

Arriving at Your Address in Dorking

Dorking is a market town with three stations: Dorking, with trains to Waterloo and Victoria, Dorking Deepdene a short walk from it, and Dorking West, further along the same line towards Guildford. If you are staying near one of them, the station name helps the driver.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For a visit to Denbies, one of England's largest vineyards, give the name of the building you are going to, as the estate is large.

With a morning landing and a tasting or lunch at Denbies later on, you can go to the hotel first and drop the bags there, so you reach the estate without luggage.

From Dorking Back to London Gatwick Airport

The return trip takes 40–55 minutes on a normal day, back east along the A25 through Reigate. Choose your pick-up by counting back that drive length from check-in, with extra time at the morning peak. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Each Gatwick terminal has its own drop-off, so look up the departure terminal on your ticket and enter it in the booking.

Box Hill, on the edge of town, has a zig-zag road that carried the London 2012 Olympic cycling road races. If a cycling event is running on the roads around Box Hill on the day you fly, plan for diversions and leave earlier.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How far is Dorking from Gatwick Airport?

14 miles by road, normally 40–55 minutes, mostly along the A25 through Reigate. Add a little time at the weekday rush hours, and give your terminal in the booking.

My flight into Gatwick has been delayed. Should I phone to let you know?

No call is needed. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so the delay is taken into account. If the airline gives the flight a new number, change it in your booking.

Is the car outside the arrivals door at Gatwick?

No. Gatwick asks drivers to collect passengers from the Short Stay car parks next to each terminal. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Can I get a train from Gatwick to Dorking?

Yes. Great Western Railway runs North Downs line trains from Gatwick via Redhill towards Guildford, and Dorking Deepdene is on the route, but not every train calls there. If you want a car from the station, add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival.

Our wine club is twelve people with suitcases. Will one vehicle do?

Yes, twelve is the most a Sprinter van seats, so with ordinary luggage the whole club travels together. List every suitcase when you book, and tell support about any boxes of wine for the way home.

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

Gatwick's security scanners now let you keep liquids of up to 2 litres per container in your hand luggage, a change reported in summer 2026; check the rule of any other UK airport you use, as some still keep 100 ml. In 2026 the airport also raised its maximum to 57 scheduled movements per hour, from 55 in 2025.
