Gatwick has two terminals connected by a free transit service, and it is worth confirming which one you need before you travel since airlines occasionally change terminal allocation. North Terminal is generally used by easyJet and British Airways short-haul services, with dedicated drop-off and pick-up zones right outside the terminal building. South Terminal handles airlines including Ryanair, TUI, Norwegian and Wizz Air, and also has its own drop-off area a short walk from check-in. Whichever terminal you are flying from, simply tell us when you book and your driver will head to the correct entrance. For your return journey, your driver waits in the arrivals hall of the relevant terminal holding a name board, so you can find them easily after collecting your luggage. As one of the closer Kent taxi routes to Gatwick, a Matfield pickup means a shorter drive than many villages further east, which helps keep the journey time predictable even when traffic is heavier than usual.
