Flown into Luton and need to reach Gatwick for an onward flight or your journey home? You’re crossing London north to south, and a private transfer is by far the simplest way to do it. I’m Matty from DM Airport Transfers — here’s how the Luton to Gatwick route works.
The Route
Luton is north of London in Bedfordshire; Gatwick is to the south in West Sussex. The drive is around 50 to 55 miles, usually taking the M1 down to the M25, round the western arc, and then the M23 south to Gatwick. It steers clear of central London throughout.
Journey Time
In good traffic, around 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes. The M25 can be busy at peak times, so I keep an eye on live conditions and your flight, adjusting the pickup and route to keep things smooth.
Skip the Train Hassle
Getting from Luton to Gatwick by rail means a journey into central London and back out south — long, with multiple changes and your bags throughout. A private transfer takes you straight from the Luton terminal to your Gatwick terminal, with luggage help and no timetables.
Connecting Flights
On separate tickets, leave a comfortable buffer — three to four hours between landing at Luton and your Gatwick departure is sensible. Give me your flight details and I’ll build the timing around them.
Fixed Pricing
Luton to Gatwick transfers are quoted on distance and fixed at booking — no meters, no surge pricing. Saloons start from £60 and MPVs from £90; message me with your details for the exact quote.
Book in Minutes
Send me your flight numbers, terminal, and passenger count and I’ll meet you at Luton arrivals. Child seats free on request.
