Gatwick Airport Taxi Drop-Off

Do Taxis Pay Gatwick Drop-Off Charges?

Yes, taxis are required to pay the Gatwick Airport drop-off charge. This applies to both the North Terminal and South Terminal designated drop-off zones.

However, if you book your journey with RidexTaxis, the Gatwick drop-off fee is included in your fare. You won’t need to worry about making this payment separately.

How to Pay the Gatwick Drop-Off Charge

If you're not using a private hire taxi that includes the charge, you can pay it in several ways:

• Online via the official Gatwick Airport drop-off payment website

• By phone

• By creating an online account to manage regular payments

💡 Important: The charge must be paid by midnight the day after your visit. If you forget, a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) may be sent to the vehicle owner.

How Much Is the Gatwick Drop-Off Charge?

There is no free drop-off directly at the terminal. The current drop-off charges are:

• £6 for 10 minutes

• £1 extra for each additional minute

• Max stay: 30 minutes

If you want to avoid these fees, you can use the long-stay car park, which offers free parking for up to two hours. A shuttle service runs to the terminals from there.

Can You Avoid the Gatwick Drop-Off Fee?

Yes, but only by using alternatives to the terminal drop-off zones:

• Park in the long-stay car park and use the shuttle

• Use public transport

• Book a RidexTaxis private hire, where the charge is already covered in your fare

If you use the official terminal drop-off points, the charge is mandatory.

How Much Is a Taxi to Gatwick Airport?

• 🛫 Manchester to Gatwick taxi fare starts at £300

• All charges are included—no hidden fees

Every Gatwick transfer with RidexTaxis includes:

• ✅ All drop-off charges

What Happens If You Forget to Pay?
