Getting Around Horley
Horley is a town in the borough of Reigate and Banstead, Surrey, and it sits directly north of Gatwick Airport. The county border with West Sussex runs between the town and the runway, so the airport itself is in Sussex while Horley is in Surrey.
Horley station is on the Brighton Main Line, with trains north to London Victoria and London Bridge; the next station south is Gatwick Airport. Add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival.
If you are staying in a hotel here the night before an early flight, or coming back late to a house in town, send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop.
For a day of meetings at offices around the airport, in Crawley and in Redhill, book by the hour: one chauffeur and one vehicle stay with you for the time you reserve.
Airport Transfers in Horley
Gatwick is only 4 miles from the centre of Horley, 15–20 minutes by car. It has two terminals, North and South, almost a mile apart. In 2026 easyJet flies from the North Terminal, while British Airways short-haul and several other airlines use the South Terminal; allocations change, so check your ticket on the day. Pick-ups at Gatwick use the Short Stay car parks at each terminal.
Heathrow is 45 miles away, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes. London City Airport is 46 miles, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 5 minutes, and Southend Airport 62 miles, 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 55 minutes. The right one depends on your airline and route.
Book with your flight number. For an arrival, your chauffeur checks the flight status and times the pick-up to when you actually land, and your booking confirmation shows where to meet the chauffeur. For a departure from Horley, what counts is the length of the drive, not the time on the clock: Gatwick is close, but a Heathrow flight means a long run on the M25 that has to fit your check-in time. Journey times vary with traffic and weather. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Long-Distance & Day-Trip Travel from Horley
Dorking, the market town below Box Hill, is 12 miles west, 35–50 minutes. Hampton Court Palace is 29 miles north, 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes, and Windsor is 43 miles, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, so both royal palaces fit into a day.
Winchester, England's old capital with its great cathedral, is 72 miles south-west, 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 10 minutes. Stonehenge is further on: 95 miles, 1 hour 55 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes.
If you land at Gatwick with a day or two before your next flight, any of these trips starts a few minutes from the terminal. For an outing with a return the same day, book by the hour; for a single trip, the car takes you to the address you name and the way back is booked separately.
Groups & Event Travel in Horley
If your family party spends the night in Horley before a long-haul flight from Gatwick, the morning starts minutes from the terminal. For a group like that, with suitcases and pushchairs, a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats; the vehicle is matched to the load.
When you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation. If relatives return on several flights, every arrival gets a transfer of its own, timed to its own landing.
Local vehicles and drivers are booked up early for the school holidays. If your plans go beyond a standard booking, write to support with the dates, addresses, number of passengers, flights and luggage, and the team will arrange it.
