From £162 fixed for a pre-booked saloon to Gatwick Airport.

When not to book us: On paper the train is the obvious answer, and for some people it is. Southern runs it direct and Gatwick times the trip at 1 hour 45 minutes on average, against a free-flow drive of about 86 minutes over 66 miles. If you are one person with a cabin bag, staying near Portsmouth Harbour or Portsmouth and Southsea station, take the train. The picture changes once you add a ferry or a cruise. Portsmouth International Port sits at the north end of the island at PO2 8SP, a separate site from the harbour stations and from The Hard Interchange where the 206 coach stops, so a traveller off a ship still has a transfer to make before either scheduled option begins. The coach itself runs only six times a day: the first leaves Portsmouth at 2.45am for the early departures, and the last goes at 19:40, so there is no coach for a late-evening flight. Parties of three or four, anyone with ferry or cruise luggage, and anyone landing late in the evening will usually find one car fare simpler than a ticket each plus a taxi across the city.

Which traveller are you?

If you areWhat we would suggest
Travelling alone, staying near the harbourThe train. It is direct, and one seat costs far less than a whole car.
Off a ferry or cruise with full luggageBook a car to the port. The scheduled options start elsewhere in the city, and the car collects at the terminal.
A family of four with casesPrice a car. One fare covers everyone, set against a ticket for each traveller.
Catching a dawn flightEither the first coach of the night or a car. The car leaves when you choose, from your door.
Landing in the eveningBook a car. The last coach towards Portsmouth leaves Gatwick late, and it does not wait for a delayed flight.

Each leg is quoted separately and a different operator can win each, so this price can differ from the Portsmouth 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. Tell us which Portsmouth you mean when you book: a home address, the continental ferry and cruise port at the north end of Portsea Island, or the Isle of Wight car ferry at Gunwharf. They are miles apart by road and a car sent to the wrong one costs you a sailing.
  2. Your driver's mobile number comes in the supplier details email, which is sent separately from the booking confirmation. Save it before you travel.
  3. Your flight is tracked at no charge, so a late landing moves the pick-up back rather than cancelling it. The free waiting included in your fare starts at landing and is set out above.
  4. Express pick-up at the designated point is what the fare includes. London Gatwick's own operator will send a driver into the arrivals hall with a welcome sign on request; with us a name board in arrivals is meet and greet, a paid extra you choose 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 Portsmouth to Gatwick?

The quote at the top of this page prices a saloon for your date, live, and it does not change after you book. It is charged per vehicle, so it is the same figure for one passenger or four. Enter your date and address in the form for a price you can book.

Can you collect us from the ferry or cruise terminal?

Yes. Portsmouth International Port is at George Byng Way, PO2 8SP, Book the pick-up for the time your ferry or cruise line gives for leaving the ship, and put the sailing in the booking notes. If you are held up, call the driver on the number in your supplier details email so the pick-up can be moved.

Is the train quicker than a taxi to Gatwick?

Not usually. Gatwick gives the direct Southern service as 1 hour 45 minutes on average, and the free-flow drive is about 86 minutes over 66 miles. Free-flow is a floor rather than a promise, so on a busy A27 or M23 the two can end up close.

Where does the coach go from in Portsmouth?

The 206 calls at The Hard Interchange beside Portsmouth Harbour, and also at Chichester on the way to both Gatwick terminals. It does not call at the continental ferry port.

How early does the first coach reach Gatwick?

The first leaves Portsmouth at 2.45am and reaches the North Terminal at 4.20am, which suits early departures. The last of the day leaves The Hard at 19:40.

What if my flight into Gatwick is late?

Nothing changes on your side. We follow the flight and the driver works to the actual landing time, with your free waiting starting from then, as described above.

Do you go to Southsea, Gosport and Fareham as well?

Yes. Each is priced to its own address rather than a flat Portsmouth rate, so put the postcode into the form and you get the price for that journey.

Can you take us to the Isle of Wight ferry?

Yes, to the Wightlink car ferry terminal on Gunwharf Road, PO1 2LA, for the Fishbourne crossing. Name it at booking so the car is not routed to the continental port.

Is the fare per person?

No. It is one price for the car, which is why a group often comes out ahead of buying a ticket each.

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.
