Your details

Your request opens in WhatsApp for you to review and send. No payment is taken here.

01

Heathrow to Gatwick and Gatwick to Heathrow

The route works in both directions. For Heathrow to Gatwick, name the Heathrow pickup terminal and Gatwick destination terminal. For a Gatwick to Heathrow taxi, reverse those details and include the Heathrow terminal needed for the next departure or onward pickup.

A terminal-to-terminal request is different from a journey involving an airport hotel, home or business stop. Add every stop in order so the quote reflects the itinerary rather than a simplified airport pair.

02

International arrivals and realistic connection planning

Passengers often consider this journey after an international arrival when the onward flight leaves from the other airport. Include the scheduled arrival and the departure or check-in timing you are planning around, then build in your own allowance for immigration, baggage reclaim, terminal movement, road conditions and airport procedures.

LoomCabs does not guarantee a journey time, successful flight connection or live flight tracking. If the schedule is unusually tight, consider the risk before requesting and update the conversation when flight information changes.

03

Terminal details in both directions

At Heathrow, specify Terminals 2 & 3, Terminal 4 or Terminal 5. At Gatwick, provide the terminal shown by the airline. A Gatwick to Heathrow taxi request should also state whether Heathrow is the final destination or the starting point for another booked flight.

Flight numbers can help identify the intended arrival or departure, but they do not replace a pickup time or a terminal. Include the hotel, home or business address as a separate stop if the journey is not genuinely airport to airport.

04

Families, groups and all the luggage

A family with pushchairs and long-haul cases may need more luggage space than the passenger count suggests. Business travellers might have fewer bags but a more structured itinerary. Groups may be arriving on separate flights or moving between terminals before the road journey.

Include cabin bags, large cases and any mobility or child-seat preference. Cars, estates, MPVs and 8-seaters can be requested, but vehicle suitability and availability depend on the operators responding to the defined route.

05

Planned returns and overnight airport stays

Some journeys are one-way connections; others include an overnight hotel, a meeting or a return several days later. Add the hotel or intermediate address if it changes the route, and include a return date when known.

A group might travel from Heathrow to a Gatwick hotel before an early flight, while a business traveller returns to Heathrow after meetings elsewhere. Separating each leg and time makes the request clearer than treating the trip as one open-ended transfer.

06

Business itineraries and separate-flight groups

Colleagues arriving on separate flights may meet at one terminal before travelling together, while a conference team may start at an airport hotel with presentation cases and checked luggage. State who is joining where and whether the requested vehicle must carry the whole party from that point.

For family reunions, the airport meeting can be emotional but the road request still needs clear logistics: one lead passenger, the agreed pickup location, the complete bag count and a contact plan. Operator availability and airport pickup arrangements remain subject to confirmation.

07

Compare inter-airport quotes carefully

Any quote depends on terminals, date, time, stops, passenger count, luggage and vehicle preference. LoomCabs does not publish a guaranteed fixed fare or claim the cheapest Heathrow–Gatwick taxi.

As a journey request and booking facilitation platform, LoomCabs can seek responses from suitable licensed private-hire operators. Where options are returned, compare the stated price and journey details. Availability and the number of quotes are not guaranteed, and a journey exists only after explicit confirmation.

HOW TO REQUEST

Plan the inter-airport leg before comparing quotes.

Both airport names are only the beginning. The useful request includes terminals, flight-day timing, passengers, bags, stops and any planned return.

  1. 01
    Choose the direction

    Enter Heathrow and the destination airport or city in the order you will travel, then add the exact terminal, hotel, college, home or meeting address.

  2. 02
    Plan around the connection

    Include flight or check-in timing, passengers, luggage and any return date. Allowance for traffic, terminal access and check-in remains part of your own travel planning.

  3. 03
    Compare the response

    Review the prepared request and any options returned by suitable licensed private-hire operators. A quote is only confirmed when its details and availability are explicitly agreed.
