About Gatwick Airport
Gatwick is served by the M23 and the M25 and by direct rail services into central London, but a pre-booked car is often simpler when you have luggage, children, an early flight or a destination that is not on a direct line. For arrivals, add your flight number so your driver can track your landing.
Planning your pickup from Hastings
- Enter the exact pickup address or postcode in Hastings, and the exact drop-off at Gatwick Airport, so the fare is calculated for your real journey.
- Work back from your check-in and security deadlines when choosing your pickup time, and add your flight number if you have one.
- Pick a vehicle by passengers and luggage, not just seats. A saloon suits up to four passengers; choose an estate, MPV or executive car for extra bags, bigger groups or more comfort.
- You can pay cash to the driver or by card online when you confirm, and you can add a child seat or special request in the booking notes.
