Crawley to London City Airport — route overview

Distance and typical time

49miles
1h 10mtypical drive

Off-peak and 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes at most times of day.

The route we use

Our default is the M4 and the A13. Drivers reroute live if there is an incident rather than sitting in it.

Peak-hour allowance

This is the slowest of our airport runs per mile because the last stretch is city traffic rather than motorway. Allow extra on weekday mornings. Allow nearer 1 hour 30 minutes if you are travelling in the thick of it.

Which terminal

London City is a single compact terminal in the Docklands. Check-in closes late compared with the bigger airports, but the drive in is the slowest part of the trip.

Departures and arrivals from Crawley

Whether you are heading out or coming home, the fare is fixed at the point of booking and the driver handles the timing.

Departure pickups

1h 10mtypical drive

Drive, then add a sensible buffer. You tell us the flight, we pick the pickup time.

Early morning starts

3am and 4am departures from Crawley are routine and cost the same as a midday job. There is no night surcharge.

Flight tracking on arrivals

We watch your inbound flight and move the pickup if you land early or late, at no extra cost.

Free waiting after landing

Sixty minutes from touchdown before any waiting charge, which covers passport control and baggage in almost every case.

Meet and greet

Ask at booking and your driver waits inside arrivals with a name board rather than texting you from a car park.

Vehicles and luggage

A 49-mile run is not the trip to discover the cases do not fit. Tell us the group size and luggage when you book and we send the right vehicle.

Saloon

Up to 3 passengers with two large cases and hand luggage. The standard choice for couples and solo travellers.

Estate

Up to 3 passengers with significantly more boot space, useful for golf clubs, ski bags and long trips.

People carrier

Up to 6 passengers with luggage, the usual pick for families heading to London City.

8-seater

Executive

Mercedes E-Class and equivalent at rates close to our standard saloon, popular for business travel on this route.
