Brockenhurst to Gatwick Airport Transfer

Gatwick takes a similar time to Heathrow but heads the opposite way. From Brockenhurst we join the M27 eastbound, continue on the A27 past Chichester and Worthing, then turn north on the M23. It is around 93 miles and rather less of it is motorway than the Heathrow run.

The A27 through the Worthing and Lancing stretch is where this route loses time in the morning peak. That single section is the main reason a Gatwick departure sometimes needs an earlier start than the mileage suggests.

Gatwick's two terminals are linked by a shuttle that takes a few minutes but adds a walk at both ends. Airlines move between them, so the terminal on your boarding pass is the only reliable answer — check it close to travel rather than assuming last year's arrangement still holds.

Check your boarding pass and tell us which one, and we will drop you at that terminal's forecourt rather than at whichever the satnav picks. It is a small thing that saves a genuinely annoying twenty minutes.

Gatwick is our most common route for package holidays and family travel, which shapes what the booking usually needs: more passengers, pushchairs, and sometimes a child seat or two. All of that changes the vehicle, so tell us the ages and the kit when you ask for the price.

The £185 guide fare is one way for a Sedan or Estate with up to four passengers. Five to eight passengers on this route are quoted individually — with a family's worth of hold luggage a six seater is often the honest answer rather than squeezing an estate.
