One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the North Terminal to a house in Ashtead, the South Terminal to an office near the M25 junction, or a family home in Fetcham to the North Terminal for an evening flight. 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 in Leatherhead for a week of meetings near Junction 9, and back to the airport on the Friday afternoon. For a stay that covers Derby weekend or a summer holiday, reserve the car once your flight times are clear. 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 Leatherhead: Route and Drive Time

Leatherhead is north-west of Gatwick, on the River Mole where the M25 meets the A24 at Junction 9. From the terminals to the town it is 23 miles, normally 40–55 minutes. The distance is longer than to Dorking, yet the time is similar, because most of it is motorway: north to the M25, then west to Junction 9.

After the junction, the A24 runs straight into the town and on towards Dorking. Fetcham is on the far bank of the Mole, Ashtead is up the road towards Epsom, and the office buildings close to the motorway are reached before the town centre.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. On a motorway route, the morning and evening peaks make the biggest difference.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Gatwick Airport

Which terminal you land at depends on the airline. easyJet, Gatwick's largest carrier, is based in the North Terminal; the South Terminal serves British Airways on short-haul routes plus various long-haul and holiday airlines. Allocations have changed in the past, so look at your ticket again shortly before you fly; then give your terminal in the booking and the car goes there.

On arrival, 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.

Pick-up is from the Short Stay car park by your terminal. If you come out of the wrong building, the inter-terminal shuttle links the two, but a message to the chauffeur first saves a trip.

Arriving at Your Address in Leatherhead

Leatherhead, in Mole Valley, has a station close to its centre with trains to Waterloo and Victoria, and the homes of Fetcham and Ashtead spread out on either side.

Send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop. On a business visit, add the company name and the building, especially if the office is one of those near the motorway junction.

Polesden Lacey, a National Trust estate with a house and gardens in the hills south-west of the town, is 4 miles from the centre, 20–30 minutes by car. A visitor who lands in the morning can leave the bags at the hotel and still reach the gardens in good time.

From Leatherhead Back to London Gatwick Airport

Heading back, allow 40–55 minutes in usual traffic, the M25 being the main part. Count back from your check-in by that drive length, not by a fixed hour, and add a margin at peak times. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Put your departure terminal in the booking, as Gatwick's North and South Terminals have their own drop-off zones nearly a mile apart.

Epsom is a near neighbour, and Derby weekend, Friday 4 and Saturday 5 June 2027, brings racegoers into the area. A departure on either date deserves a wider margin, in case racegoers' cars slow the local roads before the motorway.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the drive time from Gatwick to Leatherhead?

The trip is 23 miles, normally 40–55 minutes, and the M25 to Junction 9 covers the larger part. At peak hours it can take longer, so give yourself a margin for meetings on the day you land.

If my flight into Gatwick lands early, will the car be ready?

The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, which works for an early arrival just as it does for a delay. Check the flight number you entered.

I fly easyJet. Where do I meet my chauffeur?

easyJet uses Gatwick's North Terminal, and pick-ups there are made from the North Terminal Short Stay car park. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Which junction of the M25 is Leatherhead?

Junction 9. The A24 leaves the motorway there, runs through Leatherhead and continues south to Dorking. From Gatwick, the car stays on the M25 until this junction.

Our garden group of fourteen wants one vehicle. Is that possible?

Not in a van: a Sprinter has room for up to 12, so fourteen people need more space. Book two vans, or a coach if the group grows; list cases and walking equipment so the vehicles fit the load. Write to support if the tour covers several days.

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

Gatwick raised its drop-off charge on 6 January 2026; any car that sets down passengers at the terminal drop-off zones pays it, online or through AutoPay, no later than midnight the following day. Collecting passengers is handled in the Short Stay car parks. The rules and current rates of each charge are published by the authority or airport that runs it.
