Terminals
Gatwick North vs South Terminal: Full Guide
Gatwick Airport runs two terminals, North and South, linked by a free automated transit taking around two minutes. Which one you need comes down entirely to your airline — not which sits closer to Oxford.
The Car
Estate car, 6 seater or 8 seater
The estate car takes 4 passengers plus 3 large suitcases and hand luggage. Groups of 5 or 6 can book the 6 seater, and groups of 7 or 8 the 8 seater, which takes 8 large suitcases.
Two terminals, one airport
Unlike Heathrow's four terminals, Gatwick has just two: North and South. They sit close together, joined by a free, frequent automated people-mover, so a wrong-terminal drop-off is a short, manageable fix rather than a long walk or taxi ride across the airport.
South Terminal is the older of the pair and houses the main railway station serving the airport. North Terminal has expanded over the years, including a newer pier extension.
How to check which terminal you need
Gatwick's airline-terminal allocation has shifted over the years and isn't fixed permanently to one carrier, so the only reliable way to know which terminal you need is your booking confirmation or boarding pass — not a guess based on which airline you're flying.
Unsure, or your confirmation doesn't spell it out? Most airlines' websites or apps confirm the terminal at check-in.
Telling your driver in advance
Give us your terminal (or your airline, if the terminal isn't confirmed yet) at booking, so your driver heads straight to the right forecourt instead of adjusting en route. Our separate North Terminal and South Terminal pages carry terminal-specific pickup details.
