South departures is the destination—check it against your flight

Book your taxi to Gatwick South Terminal using the terminal shown on your current itinerary. Airport names in address searches can refer to the station, a car park, a hotel or the terminal itself. For a flight, choose South Terminal departures and check the selected destination before requesting the journey.

Gatwick publishes RH6 0NP for South Terminal, but a postcode does not describe the final handover on its own. Your flight details and the named terminal help distinguish an airport departure from a train connection or an arrivals collection. If the airline changes terminals, update KUVER before travel.

Flying from South

Select the terminal for your flight and use the airline’s arrival deadline.

Catching a train

Specify Gatwick Airport station and the time you need to reach it.

Meeting someone

Agree the meeting place; an arrivals collection needs its own instructions.

Build a South Terminal quote around your collection address

A Brighton to Gatwick South Terminal taxi and a transfer from Horley are different journeys. Start with your full address, travel date and collection time. Travellers from Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Horsham or Crawley can use the same booking screen to check their own route and available vehicles.

Compare the fare after entering all passengers and luggage. Check the inclusions and terms for airport access, waiting and any extra stops. You can review available quotes before signing in; continue through the booking steps when you are ready to reserve, and retain the confirmation reference.

What happens when your taxi reaches South Terminal

South Terminal’s designated drop-off zone is on the lower level. It serves passengers leaving the car for their flight; it is separate from the airport’s Express Pick-Up facility. Keep documents and hand luggage accessible so the group can unload together and continue into the terminal.

If a traveller needs an escort or a longer handover, discuss it before the journey. Gatwick recommends suitable parking for longer goodbyes rather than extended forecourt waiting. Ask KUVER to confirm the arrangement and relevant costs instead of treating the drop-off bay as a place to park.

Family airport luggage: plan the boot before choosing the seats

For South Terminal holiday departures, the luggage list is often more useful than the number of adults alone. Two large suitcases, cabin bags and a folded pushchair can need different space from a few small weekend bags. Count everything that will travel in the car, including bags carried for children.

Use the seat and luggage capacities displayed with the quote. Discuss unusual equipment, child seats and accessibility requirements with KUVER before confirming. If your group is joining from several addresses, include those stops in the request so the route, vehicle and collection plan can be checked together.

Leave room for bag drop and the walk beyond the forecourt

Your taxi’s airport arrival is one part of the departure, not the moment you reach the gate. Work back from your airline’s check-in and bag-drop requirements, then allow for the road journey and traffic. Include the time your party needs to unload and move through South Terminal.

For a train connection instead, plan around the service you intend to catch. Gatwick Airport station is at South Terminal, but you still need time to leave the car, reach the station and find the platform. Check live rail information if engineering works or disruption could affect the connection.

Returning through South: departures instructions will not locate your car

A South Terminal drop-off on the outward journey and a South Terminal pickup after landing need different instructions. Gatwick lists its South Express Pick-Up facility at Car Park 3, Ground Floor. That identifies an airport facility; it does not establish the meeting point for every KUVER reservation.

For a return taxi, provide your arriving flight and destination, then follow the meeting place confirmed by KUVER. Collect your luggage and keep your phone available before making your way to the car. Contact the team if the flight, terminal or readiness time changes, and check the waiting terms attached to your booking.

South Terminal taxi questions

64 answers across 8 topics

Booking a South Terminal taxi

How can I reserve a taxi to Gatwick South Terminal?

Choose Get a quote, enter the address where you want to be collected and select Gatwick South Terminal. Add the pickup date, time, passengers and bags, review the vehicle options and complete the booking steps.

Can I arrange a South Terminal transfer by phone or app?

Yes. You can use the KUVER website, the iPhone or Android passenger app, or call 01293 699909. Use the same full journey details whichever booking method you choose.

Is advance booking necessary for a South Terminal journey?

Arrange the ride ahead of travel where possible, especially for a larger vehicle, an early departure or a holiday date. KUVER checks availability for the requested trip; a price enquiry does not reserve a car.

What if I need a South Terminal taxi today?

Try the booking screen for your actual collection address and time, or call the team to check. Wait for the booking to be confirmed rather than assuming that a last-minute request has been accepted.

Are late-night and bank-holiday collections available?

Enter the specific date and time so KUVER can check the journey. Overnight, bank-holiday and peak-period requests remain subject to vehicle availability and confirmation; this page does not promise a car at every time.

Can I check South Terminal prices without signing in first?

You can enter the journey and view available quotes before signing in. When you choose to book, follow the account or sign-in steps presented by the booking screen and keep the resulting confirmation.

Can I organise a South Terminal ride for a relative or colleague?

Tell KUVER who will travel and provide a contact number that passenger can use on the day. Check the passenger, address and terminal details on the confirmation so the booker and traveller have the same collection plan.

What if the booking screen cannot find my hotel or street?

Search using the full hotel, business or street address and inspect the selected result. If the location is missing or the entrance is unclear, call KUVER. Selecting a different property just to obtain a price can give the wrong journey.

Quotes, payment and airport charges

What determines the price of a taxi to South Terminal?

Your collection address, date, time, vehicle and journey requirements determine the quote. A short trip from Crawley and a collection from Brighton are different routes, so enter your own address for a useful comparison.

Will South Terminal cost the same as North Terminal?

Check a quote for the terminal you actually need. Do not assume another operator’s same-terminal pricing policy applies to KUVER, or that an existing North Terminal quote automatically covers a changed South Terminal journey.

Should I divide the quoted fare by the number of passengers?

Review the total for the chosen journey and vehicle after entering the full travelling party. It is not a shared-shuttle seat reservation. Check vehicle capacity and the booking total rather than assuming an extra passenger can be added later.

Is the South Terminal drop-off fee part of my quote?

Read the quote inclusions and booking terms, and ask KUVER if airport access is unclear. Gatwick’s forecourt tariff and a taxi journey price are different things; do not assume that a headline taxi price includes every possible extra.

Must I pay the airport drop-off charge myself as a taxi passenger?

Confirm the airport-charge arrangements with KUVER before travelling. Avoid making a second payment against the taxi registration unless the team has specifically asked you to do so; the vehicle operator may already manage that payment.

Could waiting, extra stops or a changed route add to the fare?

They can affect the journey and the applicable charge. Include all stops and requirements when requesting the quote, and ask for changes and costs to be agreed. Waiting and amendments follow your confirmed booking terms.

Are cash and card payment offered, and is a deposit needed?

Use the payment options actually displayed for your booking, or check with KUVER if you need a particular method. Follow the payment steps shown; do not assume that every booking requires, or avoids, an advance payment.

Does card verification mean the full fare has already been collected?

No. In KUVER’s card booking flow, the card is verified when you book and the journey fare is charged after trip completion. Check your booking terms and contact the team about any unexpected payment entry.

South Terminal destinations and drop-off

Where is the South Terminal departures drop-off?

Gatwick’s designated South Terminal drop-off zone is on the lower level. Select South Terminal when obtaining your taxi quote and agree any extra unloading or assistance requirements before confirming the ride.

Which postcode identifies Gatwick South Terminal?

Gatwick publishes RH6 0NP for South Terminal. Select the named destination in the booking screen too: the terminal, station, hotel and car-park entrances are not interchangeable just because they are around the same airport.

How do I confirm that South Terminal is right for my flight?

Check your current flight itinerary, boarding pass and airline information, then use Gatwick’s terminal checker if needed. Match the flight number and travel date. Terminal information from a previous holiday may no longer apply.

Should I choose South Terminal just because I fly with British Airways or another airline?

Use the terminal listed for your actual flight, not only an airline name. Gatwick’s airline directory is a useful check, but confirm changes with the airline and update KUVER if the booking destination is affected.

Can the taxi stop at Express Pick-Up when I am flying out?

Gatwick separates passenger drop-off from Express Pick-Up. Use the designated departures drop-off arrangements for an outward flight. Do not choose a car-park collection point as the destination unless that is the journey KUVER has agreed.

Can someone escort me inside after the car drops us?

Discuss the plan before booking if unloading alone is not enough. A forecourt drop-off is a short stop, not a parking reservation. Longer goodbyes or an escort into the terminal may require different arrangements and charges.

Is there a free drop-off alternative at South Terminal?

Gatwick publishes a Long Stay option with a shuttle instead of a terminal forecourt stop. It adds a transfer step. Ask KUVER whether an alternative destination can be arranged and check the airport’s current guidance before choosing it.

Does a Blue Badge automatically make my airport transfer cheaper?

Gatwick has conditions and a registration process for its drop-off exemption. Discuss relevant arrangements before travelling. An airport exemption and the taxi journey fare are separate; do not assume the booking price changes automatically.

Rail connections and departure timing

Is Gatwick Airport station in South Terminal?

Yes. The airport railway station is at South Terminal. If your taxi is for a train connection, specify the station and tell KUVER when you need to arrive rather than selecting an airline departure by default.

Can I get to North Terminal after arriving at the South Terminal station?

Gatwick links the terminals with a free inter-terminal shuttle. The ride is about two minutes, but walking, waiting and handling luggage add time. Check your flight terminal before deciding where the taxi or train portion should end.

Does Gatwick Express serve North Terminal directly?

Gatwick Express uses Gatwick Airport station at South Terminal. Passengers for North Terminal use the inter-terminal connection. Check the train operator’s current service information when planning the rail part of your journey.

Can KUVER meet me after a train at Gatwick Airport station?

Request the station collection with the date, expected arrival time, passengers and luggage. Agree a reachable meeting point with KUVER. The train platform is not a vehicle pickup point, so include time to reach the car.

What if a delayed train affects my taxi booking?

Contact KUVER as soon as you know the arrival time has changed and give the booking reference. Ask the team to confirm the new collection plan and any effect on waiting, availability or price.

When should I leave home for a South Terminal flight?

Use your airline’s required airport arrival time and work backwards through the drive and a traffic buffer. Include bag drop, children and any assistance arrangements. The taxi collection time should not be set to the flight departure time.

Can I arrive later if I only have cabin luggage or have checked in online?

You still need to meet the airline’s security, boarding and gate deadlines. Online check-in or travelling without hold luggage can change your airport tasks, but neither removes the road journey or guarantees a short security queue.

How long is the road journey from Brighton, Crawley or Horsham?

Start with the exact collection address and a current route estimate. Traffic, roadworks and the travel time of day affect the drive. A general journey time for a town should not be treated as a guaranteed airport arrival.

Families, groups and vehicle requirements

How do I select a South Terminal vehicle with enough luggage space?

Count every suitcase, cabin bag and bulky item before comparing the capacities shown with your quote. If the load is unusual or close to the limit, ask KUVER to confirm suitability instead of choosing by seat count alone.

Can I request a six-, seven- or eight-seat vehicle?

Check which vehicles are offered for the journey, or contact KUVER with the exact party size and bags. Seat numbers do not establish luggage space. A particular capacity or model must be confirmed rather than assumed from another company’s fleet.

What if our South Terminal group needs more than one car?

Give KUVER the complete passenger count, luggage and collection addresses. Ask the team to check multiple vehicles and confirm the arrangements for each one; an ordinary single-vehicle booking does not reserve a second car.

Should I include infants when entering the passenger count?

Yes. Include every traveller and give KUVER the children’s ages and any seat requirements. The booking must reflect the whole party so the team can check the vehicle and travel arrangements.

How can I arrange a child seat for the journey to South Terminal?

Discuss the child’s age and the type of seat needed before booking, or explain if you will bring your own. Confirm suitability, fitting and any cost. Seat supply or storage for a return trip should not be assumed.

Will a pushchair, golf bag or other large item fit?

Tell KUVER what the item is and its approximate size before confirming the vehicle. Large equipment can change the space required even when the passenger count is small. Check the full luggage load with the team.

What should I tell KUVER if I need help getting into the car?

Describe the assistance needed and any wheelchair, walking aid or other equipment, including its size. Contact the team before booking so suitability can be checked. Airport assistance and the taxi vehicle arrangement need to be organised separately.

May I bring an assistance dog or another animal on a South Terminal trip?

Give KUVER clear details of the animal and any space or carrier needs when arranging the journey. Assistance dogs and pets require different planning. Confirm the travel arrangement rather than treating the animal as an ordinary piece of luggage.

South Terminal arrivals and return taxis

Where is Gatwick’s South Terminal Express Pick-Up area?

Gatwick lists South Terminal Express Pick-Up at Car Park 3, Ground Floor. That identifies the airport facility, not a universal KUVER meeting point. Follow the collection instructions confirmed for your own booking.

Will a KUVER driver meet me at Costa Coffee or another arrivals landmark?

Use the meeting place KUVER has confirmed, which may depend on the pickup arrangements. A café or information desk named on another operator’s website is not automatically the correct location for your KUVER driver.

Can I ask for a name-board meet-and-greet pickup?

Ask KUVER whether meet and greet is available for your arrival, where the driver would meet you and what the charge would be. Do not assume that a name board or an indoor meeting is included in every quote.

How do I find my car if I have just landed at South Terminal?

Collect your luggage, keep your phone available and follow the confirmed pickup instructions. If anything is unclear, contact KUVER with your reference and current location before walking to another terminal or car park.

Should the return taxi be booked for my flight’s landing time?

Landing is only the start of the arrivals process. You may need to leave the aircraft, clear passport control and collect bags. Give KUVER the flight details and agree the pickup plan rather than assuming you will be ready immediately.

What are the arrangements if my arriving flight is delayed?

Provide the flight number and tell KUVER about changes you become aware of. Confirm any flight-monitoring and waiting arrangements for your booking. Free or unlimited delay waiting is not established just because the flight details were supplied.

Can I leave from South Terminal and return through North Terminal?

Yes. Check the departure and arrival terminals for each flight separately and give KUVER the correct details for each taxi leg. Confirm both bookings; the outward journey does not automatically arrange the return pickup.

Can my driver collect me at the South Terminal drop-off forecourt?

Do not assume that a departures drop-off bay is an arrivals collection point. Gatwick has separate pickup arrangements. Use the place agreed with KUVER and avoid waiting on restricted airport roads.

Booking confirmation, changes and support

What confirms that my South Terminal car has been booked?

Keep the reference and confirmation issued by KUVER, then check the date, pickup time, both addresses and passenger details. A saved quote, enquiry or unfinished payment step alone should not be treated as a confirmed ride.

What should I check if the confirmation email is missing?

Look in your account and the confirmation channels used for the booking, including the email spam folder. Contact KUVER if you cannot find the reference. Avoid placing a duplicate request until the original booking status has been checked.

Who do I tell if my flight moves from South to North Terminal?

Contact KUVER promptly with the booking reference and the new terminal details. Ask the team to confirm the amended route, timing and any fare change. Changing the airline itinerary does not itself change the taxi reservation.

Can I move the collection time or add a stop after booking?

Ask KUVER to check the amendment before travelling. Another address or collection time can affect availability, journey duration and cost. Keep the revised confirmation once the change has been agreed.

How do cancellations and refunds work for a South Terminal taxi?

Follow the management option on your booking confirmation or contact KUVER with the reference. Check the applicable cancellation deadline, fee and refund terms. This page does not promise the cancellation rules advertised by another operator.

What should I do if the car has not arrived for my pickup?

Call 01293 699909 with the reference and the collection address. Stay reachable and ask KUVER for an update. Do not wait for a fixed period taken from a competitor’s late-driver policy.

What if I am delayed leaving home or checking out of my hotel?

Tell KUVER as soon as the booked time becomes difficult to meet. The team can explain the effect on your journey, waiting and charges. Any free waiting allowance must come from your confirmed terms, not an assumption.

Can I request a receipt or report property left in the car?

For either enquiry, contact KUVER with the booking reference and journey date. Describe any missing item clearly so the team can investigate. A receipt request or lost-property enquiry does not require you to place another booking.

Other South Terminal planning questions

Is a KUVER booking the same as using the official airport taxi desk?

No. KUVER is a separate pre-booked private hire service. Contact KUVER about the reservation and follow its confirmation, rather than expecting the airport taxi desk or another company to manage the booking.

Is a South Terminal taxi always cheaper than a train or ride-hailing app?

There is no universal cheapest option. Compare the complete journey for your date, party and luggage, including getting to a station, airport access charges and onward connections. Review the actual quote rather than a general comparison claim.

Should I compare two taxi journeys with the price of airport parking?

Yes, if deciding whether to drive yourself. Compare both taxi legs with parking for the entire stay, fuel and other travel costs. Your dates, route and party affect the result; a taxi does not automatically cost less.

Does taxi meet and greet include looking after my own car?

No. Taxi meet and greet refers to a passenger meeting arrangement. Airport meet-and-greet parking is a different product involving your own vehicle. A KUVER journey does not book or provide parking for your car.

Can I arrange a South Terminal hotel collection or regular work transfer?

Use the actual hotel or workplace address and discuss access, luggage and the collection time with KUVER. For recurring journeys or business billing, agree the requirements separately rather than assuming an account or credit arrangement already exists.

How do I organise assistance at South Terminal itself?

Arrange Gatwick Assisted Travel through your airline or travel agent ahead of the journey where possible. Tell KUVER what taxi-to-terminal handover you need. Confirming a taxi does not book wheelchair assistance inside the airport.

Where can I check South Terminal shops, Wi-Fi, lounges and facilities?

Use Gatwick’s official terminal pages and directories for current opening times, locations and access conditions. Some facilities are after security or require a separate booking. They are not included in the KUVER taxi fare.

Who can help with airline baggage rules, train times or airport parking?

Ask the airline about flight and baggage requirements, the rail operator about train services, and Gatwick about airport facilities and parking. KUVER can help with the taxi reference, vehicle, pickup arrangements, route and fare.
