Gatwick Airport to Oxford Street, via the M23.

Gatwick to Oxford Street is about 31 miles and roughly 75 minutes. One thing to know before you book: Oxford Street itself is being made traffic-free, so your drop-off will be on a street beside it. Minicabees fixes the fare in advance and tracks your flight. Price it here or call +44 20 8050 9020.

The Gatwick to Oxford Street route

The usual line is the M23 to the M25, west to junction 10, then the A3 in through Wandsworth, over the river and north through Mayfair to the West End. That is around 31 miles and about 75 minutes, which makes it one of the slower central London runs from Gatwick, because the last three miles are entirely city streets.

Oxford Street is going traffic-free

The section between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street is being closed to traffic, with September 2026 as the target date. Once it is in force, private hire vehicles are excluded, and so are taxis, buses, cars and cycles. Only emergency services and overnight servicing vehicles are permitted.
In practice this changes very little about your journey and quite a lot about where the car stops. Your driver will set you down on a parallel or side street, normally within a two or three minute walk. Tell us the shop, hotel or office when you book and we will pick the closest legal point rather than the nearest postcode.

Where we usually drop off

For the Selfridges end

Orchard Street or Duke Street, both a very short walk.

For Oxford Circus

Great Portland Street, or one of the streets off Regent Street depending on which side you need.

For Bond Street and the middle stretch

Wigmore Street to the north or Brook Street to the south.

Hotels

Most of the larger West End hotels sit on side streets anyway and have their own set-down arrangements.

Charges on this journey

Oxford Street is inside the Congestion Charge zone. The charge is 18 pounds a day, applying 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday and midday to 6pm at weekends and bank holidays, and it applies to journeys entering the zone during those hours. There is no charge between Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Whatever charges apply on your route, the Congestion Charge included, they are already inside the fixed fare we quote you. You never pay them separately to the driver.

Where we meet you at Gatwick

North Terminal

Your driver waits in arrivals by the baggage reclaim exit with a name board. That's our optional meet and greet service - otherwise your driver rings you after landing to arrange where to meet.

South Terminal

The same, in the ground floor arrivals concourse.

Flight tracking

Delays move the pickup automatically.

Free waiting

The first 60 minutes after landing are included.

Meeting your driver at Gatwick

Your driver tracks the inbound flight, so a delay on the runway does not cost you the car. Arrival time is taken from the moment the aircraft lands rather than the time printed on the ticket, and waiting time is included while you clear immigration and collect bags.

North and South Terminal

Tell us the terminal when you book and the driver meets you in the arrivals hall by the exit from baggage reclaim, holding a name board. If you land at one terminal and your booking says the other, the shuttle between the two runs around the clock and takes a few minutes, but it is simpler to send us a quick message so the driver moves to meet you.

If plans change in the air

Diversions, missed connections and cancelled flights happen. Call the office as soon as you have signal and we will rebook the pick-up rather than treating it as a no-show. For very late landings the car is still held, because the driver is watching the flight rather than the clock.

Congestion Charge, ULEZ and where the car can stop

Central London destinations sit inside the Congestion Charge zone and the Ultra Low Emission Zone. Our vehicles meet the emissions standard, and any charge that applies to your journey is worked into the fare when you book, so nothing is added afterwards and you are not asked to settle it at the kerb.

Stopping at the door

The bigger practical constraint is not the charge but the kerb. Many central streets have red routes, loading bays or timed restrictions where a car cannot pause, even briefly, and the rules change through the day. Drivers know the workable stopping points, but on some addresses the drop-off is a few steps from the entrance rather than directly outside it.

Give us the building, not the postcode

A postcode in central London can cover a long stretch of street. The name of the hotel, the office or the building gets you to the right door; the postcode alone often gets you to the middle of the block.

Arriving on Oxford Street

Oxford Street itself is closed to general traffic along much of its length, with buses and taxis only through the central section. That is not a problem, but it does mean the car will set you down on one of the side streets rather than outside the shop front you named.

Where the car can actually reach

The usual approach is from the north or south via the cross streets, and the driver will pick the one closest to your destination that allows a stop. If you are heading to a hotel just off Oxford Street, give the hotel name and the drop will be at its own entrance instead.

Shopping weekends

The West End on a Saturday, and the whole of December, is slow in a way no route planner fully predicts. If you have a table booked or a show to reach, tell us the time you need to be there rather than the time you want to leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not separately, no. Any charge that applies to your journey is already inside the fixed fare we quote, so there is nothing to settle with the driver. For reference, it applies to journeys entering the zone during charging hours, 7am to 6pm on weekdays and midday to 6pm at weekends and bank holidays. It is 18 pounds a day.

About 75 minutes for roughly 31 miles. The last three miles through the West End account for a disproportionate share of that.

Not on the section between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street once the traffic-free scheme is in force, which is targeted for September 2026. Private hire vehicles are excluded along with taxis, buses and cars. Your driver will drop you on an adjoining street, normally two or three minutes' walk away.

It depends where on Oxford Street you need. Orchard Street or Duke Street for the Selfridges end, Great Portland Street for Oxford Circus, Wigmore Street or Brook Street for the middle. Tell us your destination and we will choose.

We track it and move the pickup to your real landing time, with 60 minutes of free waiting and 20 pounds an hour pro rata after that.

Yes, from an adjoining street. Give us a pickup point when you book and we will confirm exactly where to stand.

Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice to be eligible for a refund, and refunds are subject to a £7 or 10% administration fee, whichever is higher. No refund is issued where notice is under 24 hours, or where the passenger does not show up. To cancel, email or call us and wait for written confirmation; until you have that, the booking still stands.
