V Class Executive Taxi Transfers

London Gatwick is currently experiencing its most significant expansion in a decade. With nine new airlines launching routes in 2026—including the arrival of Jet2, Air France, and Air Arabia—the airport is busier than ever. Whether you are flying into the North Terminal for a business meeting in Frankfurt or heading to the South Terminal for a family holiday in Tenerife, navigating the UK’s second-largest airport requires a solid plan.

At DM Airport Transfers, we specialise in taking the stress out of your journey. Here is everything you need to know about getting to and from Gatwick this year.

Why Choose a Private Transfer in 2026?

With the surge in passenger numbers, public transport options like the Gatwick Express and local trains are facing increased pressure and rising costs. A private transfer offers:

  • Fixed Pricing: Unlike ride-sharing apps that use “surge pricing” during peak flight times, our rates are fixed at the time of booking.
  • Door-to-Door Service: No navigating stairs at Victoria Station or dragging luggage through terminal shuttles.
  • Flight Monitoring: We track your flight in real-time. If your plane is delayed, your driver will adjust the pickup time automatically.

Navigating the Terminals

Gatwick operates two main terminals: North and South. Knowing where to meet your driver is key to a smooth exit.

Gatwick North Terminal

As of April 2026, the North Terminal is the hub for many new carriers, including Condor and Eurowings.

  • Pickup Point: Most private hires meet at the Short Stay Car Park 6, Level 4.
  • Meeting your driver: Your driver will typically meet you in the Arrivals Hall with a name board, or coordinate a quick pickup in the designated express area.

Gatwick South Terminal

The South Terminal remains the primary base for many long-haul flights and the newly launched Jet2 routes.

  • Pickup Point: Private transfers generally operate from Short Stay Car Park 3, Ground Floor.
  • Note: If you land at one terminal but need to get to the other, the free monorail shuttle runs every few minutes and takes only two minutes.

New Airlines at Gatwick for 2026

If you are flying with one of these new additions, be sure to book your transfer in advance to avoid the long taxi terminal queues:

  • Jet2: Now flying to 29 sunshine destinations.
  • Air France: Daily links to Paris CDG.
  • Beijing Capital Airlines: New direct flights to Qingdao.
  • Pegasus: Starting June 2026 with daily flights to Istanbul.
