Gatwick to Stansted: what to know
Gatwick to Stansted is the longest of the airport-to-airport journeys, and the one where a car saves the most hassle. By public transport it means crossing central London, changing stations, with everything you are carrying.
The road goes round the east of London over the Dartford Crossing, then up the M11. The Dartford charge is included in the fixed fare.
The usual route is the M23, the eastern M25 and the Dartford Crossing, then the M11.
Dartford is the pinch point
The Dartford Crossing can queue at peak times and when there is an incident. We plan for it and track your arriving flight, so you leave as soon as you are through arrivals.
North or South Terminal
Gatwick has two terminals linked by a shuttle. Tell us which one you land at, so your driver is waiting in the right arrivals hall.
A long day, a comfortable car
For a family or a group with a full load of cases, look at the MPV or the Vito: two hours is a long time with bags on your knees.
