When not to book us: Dover and Gatwick are both south of the Thames, and the drive between them is direct: our routing estimate is about 81 miles and roughly 1 hour 32 minutes with no traffic. Public transport does not. Both scheduled routes bend north into London first. The 007 coach takes about 3 hours 5 minutes to 4 hours to Victoria before the 1 hour 5 minute Gatwick coach even starts, and the last coach out of Dover leaves at 16:50, or 17:50 from Tuesday to Thursday. The train is faster to St Pancras, 1 hour 3 minutes at best, with an Anytime Day Single at £48.60 on that leg, but you then change in London for a train to Gatwick, after a taxi or a 25 minute walk from the cruise terminals to Dover Priory. For a traveller with one bag and a cheap ticket booked, that can still make sense. For almost anyone else, and certainly for a cruise or ferry passenger with luggage, the car is the shorter and simpler journey, at one price for the whole party.

Lowest live operator quote for this direction, saloon, 26 October 2026.

Each leg is quoted separately and a different operator can win each, so this price can differ from the Dover to Gatwick Airport price at the top of this page.

To book this direction, set Gatwick Airport as your pick-up in the form at the top of this page.

On this leg the fixed price also includes:

Where you meet your driver

  1. Say which side of the port you are on when you book: the cruise terminals in the Western Docks (sat-nav CT17 9DQ) or the ferry terminal in the Eastern Docks (CT16 1JA). The two are reached by different roads.
  2. Look out for the supplier details email: it carries your driver's mobile number and comes separately from your booking confirmation.
  3. Flight tracking is included, so a delayed landing moves your collection to the real arrival time. The free waiting in your fare begins then, as set out above.
  4. Express pick-up at the designated point is what the fare includes. London Gatwick's own operator sends a driver into arrivals with a welcome sign on request; with us a name board in arrivals is meet and greet, a paid extra at checkout.

Contact your driver as soon as you land, their number is in your supplier details email.

Arrivals-hall meet and greet with a name board is available as a paid extra at checkout.

Questions people ask about this route

How much is a taxi from Dover to Gatwick?

The quote at the top of this page is a live saloon price for your date, and it holds once you book. It covers the car, not each passenger. Put your date and pick-up point into the form for a price you can book.

How far is Gatwick from Dover?

Our routing estimate is about 81 miles and roughly 1 hour 32 minutes with no traffic. The Port of Dover quotes about 78 miles and around 1 hour 20 minutes via the M20 and M25.

Which Dover terminals do you collect from?

Cruise Terminals 1 and 2 in the Western Docks (sat-nav CT17 9DQ; Cruise Terminal 1 is at Lord Warden Square, CT17 9EQ) and the ferry terminal in the Eastern Docks (CT16 1JA).

Is there a coach from Dover to Gatwick?

Not direct. National Express runs the 007 from Dover town centre to London Victoria, and you change there for a Gatwick coach, which takes 1 hour 5 minutes from Victoria.

When is the last coach from Dover towards London?

16:50, or 17:50 from Tuesday to Thursday, arriving at Victoria at 20:20 or 21:20. An evening flight from Gatwick is out of reach by coach.

Can you collect us from the ship on disembarkation day?

Yes. Book for the time your cruise line expects you off the ship and name the terminal. If you are held up, call the driver on the number in your supplier details email.

What if my flight into Gatwick is delayed?

The flight is tracked and the driver works to the real landing time, with your free waiting starting from then, as described above.

Do you go to Folkestone, Deal and Canterbury?

Yes. Each is priced to its own address, so enter the postcode in the form for that exact journey.

Is it one price for the group?

Yes. The fare is for the vehicle, so it does not rise with the number of passengers. Choose a larger vehicle in the form for bigger groups.

Can I cancel?

Yes, in full, up to 24 hours before pick-up. After that the fare is charged. Changes go through the booking link in your confirmation email, on the same 24 hours.
