Do Taxis Pay Gatwick Drop-Off Charges?
Yes — all taxis must pay the Gatwick drop-off charge. Whether you’re using the Gatwick North Terminal drop-off zone or the South Terminal drop-off zone, there is a fee for vehicles using these designated areas.
The good news? When you book a taxi to Gatwick Airport with RidexTaxis, your Gatwick drop-off payment is always included in your fare. This means you can relax and enjoy a hassle-free journey without worrying about how to pay the Gatwick drop-off charge.
Gatwick Drop-Off Payment: How It Works
How do you pay the Gatwick drop-off charge? You have a few convenient options:
- Pay online through the official Gatwick Airport drop-off payment page.
- Pay by phone, following Gatwick’s simple payment instructions.
- Set up an online account to manage your Gatwick drop-off payments and keep track of past visits.
Remember, you must pay the Gatwick drop-off charge by midnight the following day. Failing to pay could result in a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) for the registered vehicle owner.
How Much Is the Gatwick Drop-Off Charge?
Currently, there is no free drop-off zone directly at the terminals. If you want to avoid the Gatwick terminal drop-off fee, you can use the long-stay car park, which offers up to two hours of free parking plus a free shuttle to the terminals.
However, for speed and convenience, booking a Manchester Airport taxi with RidexTaxis is the best option. We handle all Gatwick drop-off charges for you — no extra fees, no stress.
Can You Avoid Paying the Gatwick Drop-Off Charge?
You can’t avoid the fee if you use the official drop-off zones at the Gatwick North Terminal or South Terminal. To avoid the Gatwick drop-off charge altogether, you would need to:
- Use the long-stay car park, then take the shuttle bus to the terminal.
- Take public transport directly to the airport.
If you book your Gatwick Airport transfer with RidexTaxis, the drop-off payment is always included — so you don’t have to worry about paying it yourself.
