Mayfield to Gatwick Airport Taxi

From Mayfield it is a fixed £80 with Mayfield Airport Taxis, covering up to four passengers in a saloon or estate to either terminal. The price is confirmed at booking and does not move afterwards. Gatwick's own drop-off charge, from £7, is collected separately at the barrier.

Roughly 29 miles, which works out at about 40 to 55 minutes by road depending on the hour. That makes Gatwick comfortably the closest of the five London airports to Mayfield — Heathrow, Stansted, Luton and London City all mean going north to the M25 first.

A pre-booked taxi is usually cheaper on this route, because ride-hailing raises prices with live demand and airport runs happen at peak demand hours. Mayfield Airport Taxis holds the fare at £80 whether you leave at 4am or midday, and whether your inbound flight is on time or three hours late.

We cannot quote another operator's price, because app fares change minute to minute with demand, weather and driver supply. Ours is £80, fixed at booking. If you are comparing, check the app quote at the actual hour you would travel rather than in the middle of the afternoon.

Ride-hailing serves Gatwick, but the weak point for Mayfield passengers is the village end rather than the airport. Apps advertise nationwide coverage; driver density in a village of under four thousand people before dawn is a different matter. A pre-booked car is assigned to you in advance instead.

By pre-booked car. A 6am departure means being at Gatwick by around 4am, which puts the Mayfield pickup near 3am — hours before anything else is running in the village. Mayfield Airport Taxis charges the same £80 at that hour, with no night rate.

Both. North and South are the same £80 with no surcharge either way. Tell us which when you book, because they are separate buildings linked by a shuttle and being dropped at the wrong one costs time you may not have. Your terminal is on the booking confirmation.

No. The drop-off charge is set and collected by Gatwick Airport, not by us, and starts from £7 depending on how long the vehicle stays in the drop-off zone. Your £80 covers the journey itself. Gatwick publishes the current rate on its own website.

Yes. We run minibuses for group transfers from Mayfield to Gatwick, typically six to eight passengers with a case each. Group fares are quoted individually because passenger numbers and luggage volume change the vehicle needed. Call 01892 308080 or WhatsApp 07741 041293 with your numbers.

There is a rank, but you queue, the fare is metered and it climbs if the roads are slow. Booking the return alongside the outbound leg fixes it at £80, ties the pickup to your flight number, and puts a driver inside the terminal rather than you hunting one outside.

Yes, particularly from a village this size. Same-day cars are not guaranteed in rural East Sussex, especially before dawn. Booking ahead secures the vehicle and locks the £80. Mayfield Airport Taxis takes bookings 24 hours a day on 01892 308080.

Shuttles cost less per seat but none serve Mayfield, so you would first have to reach a pickup point in a larger town, at your own cost and at whatever hour. For two or more passengers the fixed £80 door-to-door fare usually works out cheaper once that leg is counted.

Look for a fixed fare quoted before you travel, flight tracking included rather than sold as an extra, and a real person on the phone. Compare on the total, not the headline — cheaper quotes often exclude waiting time, luggage help or the return leg.

Nothing you need to manage. Give us the flight number at booking and we monitor it, then move the pickup ourselves so your driver arrives when you actually land. The £80 does not change because of a delay, and no waiting charge is added for it.
