A taxi to North Terminal, without the South Terminal change
If your flight departs from Gatwick North, make North Terminal the end of your road journey. Gatwick Airport railway station is at South Terminal; arriving there adds a shuttle connection before you reach North. A direct taxi lets you plan around the terminal on your flight itinerary, rather than a station transfer with your cases.
The designated North Terminal drop-off is on the lower level, between the Sofitel hotel and the multi-storey car park. This is a short unloading stop. For a handover that needs more time, tell KUVER before booking so the arrangements can be checked.
From your front door or hotel entrance to North departures
The useful starting point for a Crawley to Gatwick North Terminal taxi is your collection address, not just “Crawley”. A flat entrance in Three Bridges, a house in Pound Hill and a hotel reception can each require different access instructions. Select the full address and check where you can wait with your bags.
For a hotel transfer, confirm the entrance with reception and allow time to check out. A hotel described as “Gatwick” may serve either terminal or sit away from the airport. Tell KUVER the hotel name and address, then check that North Terminal appears as the destination on your confirmation.
At home
Have the house number and an accessible collection point ready.
At a hotel
Bring the party and luggage to the agreed entrance after checkout.
At work
Use an entrance the driver can reach, with any access instructions agreed.
Early flights: make the pickup date as clear as the time
An early departure often starts with a journey during the previous night. Write down the airport arrival time your airline requires, then work backwards through the drive and a traffic allowance. Check bag-drop and boarding deadlines separately; an online boarding pass does not remove those deadlines.
For example, a taxi collecting you at 00:30 on Tuesday must be booked for Tuesday, even if you think of the trip as Monday night. Read the date and time together on the booking confirmation. Request overnight journeys ahead of travel where possible; availability must be confirmed for the actual collection.
Check the North Terminal fare for the trip you will take
Enter your collection address, North Terminal, date, time and travelling party to view available quotes. A taxi from Horsham, Horley or Brighton has a different starting point from a local Crawley journey. A previous fare or a price for the other terminal is not a substitute for your current quote.
Compare the displayed vehicle capacity with every passenger and bag. Include a pushchair, large cases or sports equipment before choosing. Review airport access, additional stops and waiting terms with the fare; ask KUVER about anything unclear before confirming. A quote lets you consider the journey, while a booking reference confirms the reservation.
Meeting rail passengers or changing terminals at North
If some of your party travel by train, they will arrive at the South Terminal station. Gatwick provides a free inter-terminal shuttle to North. Agree where the group will meet after the rail passengers complete that transfer; the shuttle ride alone does not account for walking and handling luggage.
A terminal change should also change your taxi instructions. Recheck the airline itinerary near your travel date, then contact KUVER with the reference if North is no longer the correct destination. Keep the revised confirmation rather than relying on an old terminal name in a message.
Flying back to North? Arrange the return as its own journey
An outward taxi to North Terminal does not automatically book a collection after your holiday. For the return, give the arrival date, flight details, terminal and destination. The terminal used on the way home may differ from the one used for departure.
Agree the airport meeting instructions and waiting arrangements for that booking. Landing time is not the same as being ready at the car: leaving the aircraft, passport checks where needed and baggage reclaim come first. Use KUVER’s confirmed collection details when you arrive.
North Terminal taxi questions
64 answers across 8 topics
Booking and availability
How do I book a taxi to Gatwick North Terminal?
Open Get a quote, enter your collection address and select Gatwick North Terminal as the destination. Add the date, pickup time, passengers and luggage, then review the available vehicles and fare before confirming.
How far ahead should I arrange my North Terminal taxi?
Book once your travel plans are settled, particularly for early flights, school holidays or a larger party. Availability is checked for your requested time and vehicle; KUVER does not promise a universal minimum-notice period.
Can I request a taxi at short notice?
Check the booking screen for your exact journey or call 01293 699909. Do not assume that sending an enquiry reserves a car: wait for a confirmed booking reference.
Can I book an overnight, early-morning or public-holiday journey?
Enter the actual travel date and collection time to check availability. For pickups after midnight, double-check the calendar date. A future-time booking request still needs confirmation for that specific journey.
Can I book without downloading the KUVER app?
Yes. Use the website or call 01293 699909. KUVER also has iPhone and Android passenger apps, but installing an app is not required to request a journey.
Do I need an account before checking the fare?
You can enter your route and view available quotes before signing in. Follow the account or sign-in steps offered by the booking flow when you are ready to confirm the ride.
What if my address is missing or I do not know its postcode?
Try the full street address, hotel or business name and check the selected location carefully. If you cannot identify the correct entrance or obtain a quote, call KUVER rather than selecting a nearby but incorrect address.
Can I arrange the journey from abroad or for another passenger?
Contact KUVER with the journey and passenger requirements. Make clear who will travel and which phone number will work on the day. Check the passenger details on the confirmation before relying on the arrangement.
Fares, charges and payment
How much does a taxi to North Terminal cost?
The fare depends on the starting address, date, time, vehicle and any additional stops or requirements. Use your actual collection point to obtain a current quote instead of relying on another passenger’s fare.
Is the displayed quote for one passenger or the vehicle?
Check the journey total for the selected vehicle after entering everyone travelling and all luggage. Do not multiply a journey quote by the passenger count or assume that extra passengers will fit without checking the vehicle capacity.
Are North Terminal access, parking and waiting included?
Review the inclusions shown with your quote and the booking terms. Ask KUVER to clarify airport access, parking, waiting and any requested meet-and-greet arrangements before you confirm.
Does Gatwick charge for using the North Terminal drop-off zone?
Yes. Gatwick charges vehicles to use the terminal forecourt. This is separate from setting a taxi fare: check how airport access is treated in your KUVER quote and consult Gatwick’s current drop-off guidance for the airport tariff.
Do I need to pay Gatwick separately when travelling in a KUVER car?
Check the airport-charge arrangements with KUVER before booking. Do not make a separate payment against the driver’s vehicle registration unless specifically instructed; the vehicle operator may already handle airport access payments.
Can the fare change after I get a quote?
Review the confirmed fare and terms for your booking. A changed address, extra stop, different vehicle or additional waiting can affect the journey. Ask for any amendment and its cost to be confirmed before travel.
Why can my quote differ from an advertised price or a previous trip?
A headline price may describe a different route, vehicle or date. Use the same full addresses, collection time, passengers and luggage when comparing quotes, and check the included charges rather than comparing the starting price alone.
How can I pay, and when is a card charged?
Choose from the payment options offered for your booking. In the card booking flow, the card is verified when you book and the fare is charged after trip completion. Check the displayed payment and cancellation terms before confirming.
Finding the right terminal
Where does a taxi drop passengers at North Terminal?
The designated North Terminal drop-off is on the lower level, between the Sofitel hotel and the multi-storey car park. Choose the named terminal destination and discuss any assistance or longer unloading requirements before booking.
What postcode should I use for Gatwick North Terminal?
Gatwick lists RH6 0PH for North Terminal. In the taxi booking screen, select the named terminal destination as well: a postcode is not a substitute for confirming the correct departure point.
How can I check whether my flight uses North Terminal?
Use your current airline itinerary, boarding pass or airline app, and check the terminal against Gatwick’s flight information before travelling. Use the flight number for the actual travel date rather than an old airline-terminal list.
Do easyJet, TUI or other airlines always use the same terminal?
Do not choose a terminal solely from the airline name. Allocations and individual flights can differ or change. Check the current flight details, then tell KUVER if the destination on your booking needs updating.
What if I discover that I need South Terminal after booking?
Contact KUVER with your reference and the corrected destination as soon as possible. Ask the team to confirm the change, timing and any fare difference; the original booking does not update itself.
What should I do if I reach the wrong Gatwick terminal?
Follow signs for the free inter-terminal shuttle and check the time remaining before check-in closes. Allow for walking and waiting as well as the shuttle ride. Contact your airline if the mistake puts your flight at risk.
Is the North–South Terminal shuttle free and available overnight?
Gatwick describes its inter-terminal shuttle as free, running every few minutes around the clock, with a ride of about two minutes. That does not include the walk to the platform or any waiting time.
Does Gatwick North Terminal have its own railway station?
No. Gatwick Airport railway station is at South Terminal. If arriving by train, use the inter-terminal shuttle to reach North. If booking a taxi for a train rather than a flight, specify the station as your destination.
Collection times and journey planning
How early should my taxi collect me for a North Terminal flight?
Start with your airline’s required airport arrival time, then work backwards through the road journey and a traffic allowance. Include bag drop and any assistance arrangements. Your flight departure time is not the time to leave home.
How long does a taxi from Crawley, Brighton or London take?
The exact address, route, traffic and roadworks affect the drive. Use a current route estimate for your journey and leave a buffer. A general town-to-airport time is not a guaranteed arrival time.
Does checking in online mean I can book a later pickup?
Online check-in can remove one step, but you must still meet your airline’s bag-drop, security and gate deadlines. Plan the taxi around those requirements rather than assuming that online check-in removes airport waiting time.
How should I book a collection shortly after midnight?
Use the date on which the pickup actually takes place. For example, 00:30 on Tuesday is early Tuesday morning. Compare the confirmation’s date and time together with your flight itinerary.
Can I include another pickup address or stop on the way?
Tell KUVER about every stop before the quote is agreed. Extra addresses affect the route, time and potentially the vehicle or fare. Confirm the full itinerary rather than asking the driver to add it after departure.
Can I be collected from a hotel near North Terminal?
Request the hotel by name and agree the correct entrance. Some hotels are near a different terminal or use their own shuttle arrangements. Check the actual pickup and destination instead of booking a generic airport address.
Is a taxi cheaper than leaving my car at Gatwick?
Compare the total for both taxi journeys with the parking quote for your full stay, plus fuel and any other travel costs. The better-value option depends on your dates, addresses, party and luggage; one is not always cheaper.
How much time should I allow for a connection to another airport?
Include leaving the aircraft, immigration where applicable, baggage reclaim, the road transfer and the next airline’s check-in deadline. Contact the airlines about connection requirements. A taxi booking cannot guarantee that separate flights will connect.
Vehicles, children and accessibility
Which car should I choose for my passengers and luggage?
Use both the seat count and luggage capacity shown with the quote. Count large cases, cabin bags and other equipment separately. Ask KUVER to check suitability if your party or bags are close to the listed limits.
Can I request a larger vehicle, executive car or several cars?
Check the vehicle options for your journey or contact KUVER with the full party and luggage details. Larger, executive or multiple-vehicle arrangements must be agreed; do not assume a particular model or capacity is available.
Do babies and children count towards the passenger total?
Include every child and infant when entering the travelling party. Tell KUVER the ages and any seat requirements so the team can check a suitable arrangement before the booking is confirmed.
Can I request a child seat or bring my own?
Discuss the child’s age, seat requirements and vehicle suitability with KUVER before booking. If bringing your own seat, agree fitting, luggage space and what happens to the seat during your trip. Do not assume supply or storage is included.
Can I take a pushchair, sports equipment or oversized luggage?
Tell KUVER the item type and approximate size before choosing the vehicle. A passenger-seat allowance does not establish space for a pushchair, skis, a bicycle or other bulky equipment. Confirm the complete load before travel.
How do I arrange a taxi if I use a wheelchair or mobility aid?
Contact KUVER before booking with the equipment dimensions and the help you need entering or leaving the vehicle. The team must confirm a suitable transport arrangement. Separately arrange airport assistance through your airline or travel agent.
Where can I arrange assistance inside North Terminal?
Book Gatwick Assisted Travel through your airline or travel agent, preferably ahead of travel. Gatwick has assistance reception points at terminal drop-offs. Tell KUVER about the handover you need; a taxi booking does not book airport assistance.
Can I travel with a pet or an assistance dog?
Tell KUVER about the animal and any carrier or space requirements when arranging the journey. Assistance dogs and pets involve different arrangements, so give clear details and confirm the vehicle plan rather than assuming a standard luggage allowance covers it.
Confirmation, changes and help
How do I know my North Terminal taxi is confirmed?
Keep the booking reference and confirmation issued by KUVER. Check the pickup, terminal, date, time, passengers and contact details. Viewing a fare or sending an enquiry by itself does not confirm a car.
What if no booking confirmation arrives?
Check your account and any confirmation channel used for the booking, including your email spam folder. If you cannot find a reference, contact KUVER before submitting another booking so you do not accidentally arrange the journey twice.
Can I change the time, address, terminal or passenger details?
Contact KUVER promptly with your booking reference and the required changes. Availability and cost may need checking again. Keep the updated confirmation rather than relying on the details of the original request.
Can I cancel, and will I receive a refund?
Use the management option shown for your booking or contact KUVER with the reference. The applicable cancellation deadline, fees and refund conditions are those in your booking terms; there is no blanket free-cancellation promise on this page.
What if my driver has not arrived at the agreed time?
Call KUVER on 01293 699909 with your booking reference and collection location. Keep your phone available. Get an update from the team rather than waiting for an arbitrary period copied from another operator’s policy.
What happens if I am not ready when the car arrives?
Contact KUVER as soon as you know you will be late. Waiting, changes and any charge follow the terms of your confirmed booking. Do not assume that unlimited waiting or a free waiting allowance is included.
How can I get a receipt or discuss regular business travel?
Contact KUVER with your booking reference for receipt enquiries. For recurring staff or client journeys, discuss the required routes and billing arrangements with the team; account facilities and credit terms need separate agreement.
What should I do if I leave something in the vehicle?
Contact KUVER promptly with the reference, travel date and a description of the item. Check whether it was left in the car or terminal. Collection or delivery arrangements need confirmation; recovery cannot be guaranteed.
Return pickups and meeting the driver
Can I arrange a return pickup from North Terminal?
Yes. Give the actual arrival date, flight and terminal so the return fare and availability can be checked. An outward journey to North Terminal does not automatically create a return booking.
Where will I meet a KUVER driver after landing at North Terminal?
Follow the meeting instructions confirmed for your own booking. Do not use an information desk, hotel or car park mentioned by another operator unless KUVER has confirmed that location for your pickup.
What is taxi meet and greet, and is it included?
Taxi meet and greet usually means the driver meets the passenger at an agreed place inside arrivals. Ask KUVER whether this is available for your booking, where the meeting will be and whether any charge applies.
What if I cannot find or contact my driver at the airport?
Remain at a safe, identifiable location and call KUVER with your reference and terminal. Keep your phone switched on after landing. Do not move to a different terminal or car park without agreeing the new meeting point.
How long after landing should I arrange the return collection?
Allow for leaving the aircraft, passport control where required, collecting all luggage and reaching the meeting point. These times vary. Give KUVER your flight details and discuss the collection plan rather than treating landing time as ready-to-leave time.
Are delayed flights monitored, and is extra waiting free?
Provide accurate flight details and contact KUVER if the arrival information changes. Confirm any flight-monitoring and waiting arrangements for your booking. Delays do not establish unlimited free waiting or an automatic refund.
Can my return flight use South Terminal even if I depart from North?
Yes, outbound and return flights can use different terminals. Check each itinerary separately and tell KUVER the correct arrival terminal for the return pickup. Contact the team if that information changes.
Can I be collected from the departures drop-off zone instead?
Do not treat a departures forecourt as an arrivals waiting or pickup area. Follow Gatwick’s designated collection arrangements and the instructions confirmed by KUVER. A drop-off location and a pickup meeting point are different things.
Other North Terminal travel questions
Is KUVER the operator at Gatwick’s official taxi desk?
KUVER is a separate pre-booked private hire service. Use your KUVER confirmation and contact KUVER about your journey; a KUVER reservation is not a booking with the airport taxi desk or another operator.
Is booking ahead always cheaper than Uber, a rank taxi or a train?
No single option is always cheapest. Compare prices for the same date, route, passengers and luggage, including airport charges and the cost of reaching a station or pickup point. Consider the complete journey as well as the fare.
Is taxi meet and greet the same as meet-and-greet parking?
No. A taxi booking supplies a driver and vehicle for your journey. Meet-and-greet parking is a separate service in which a parking provider takes your own car. A KUVER taxi booking does not reserve airport parking.
Can a friend wait with me at the North Terminal forecourt?
The designated forecourt is for short drop-offs. For a longer goodbye or escort into the terminal, check Gatwick’s suitable parking options. Use signed areas and avoid stopping or waiting on restricted airport roads.
Will a Blue Badge automatically remove every airport-related charge?
Do not assume so. Gatwick publishes a registration process and conditions for its drop-off exemption. Discuss any relevant arrangements with KUVER before travel; an airport exemption does not automatically change the taxi fare.
Does North Terminal have Wi-Fi, shops and somewhere to eat?
Gatwick lists Wi-Fi, shops, cafés and restaurants at North Terminal. Check the airport’s directory for current locations, opening times and whether a facility is before or after security, especially for overnight travel.
Can I use a lounge, shower or other facility before my flight?
Check the relevant lounge or facility directly for North Terminal availability, access conditions and opening hours. A taxi fare does not include lounge admission, security Fast Track or airport-hotel facilities.
Who should answer questions about my airline, bags or airport facilities?
Contact your airline for check-in, gate, baggage and flight changes. Use Gatwick’s official guidance for terminal facilities, security, assistance and parking. Contact KUVER for the taxi booking, route, vehicle, collection and fare.
