Getting from Southampton to Gatwick by train usually means a change and dragging cases between platforms. Southside Travel drives you door to door to the North or South Terminal at a fixed price, and collects you from Gatwick arrivals on the way home.

Gatwick is around 80 to 85 miles from Southampton. The drive usually takes about 1 hour 45 minutes, so for most morning flights we set off well before the first trains run.

North Terminal and South Terminal

Gatwick has two terminals linked by a shuttle. Check which one your airline uses and tell us when booking; we drop you at the correct forecourt so you do not need the shuttle.

Gatwick to Southampton and the cruise port

We track your flight and meet you in arrivals. From Gatwick we drive to Southampton homes and hotels or straight to your ship at any of the five Southampton cruise terminals. Allow at least 3.5 hours between landing and the close of cruise check-in.
