About the Poole to Gatwick transfer

Pickup in Poole
Poole is the working heart of the BCP conurbation and our base of operations. The town spans a wide postcode area (BH12 through BH17) — pickups range from Poole Quay and the Old Town in the south to Creekmoor and Broadstone in the north. The A350 and A35 give fast access to the A31 for eastbound airport runs, with typical Heathrow transfer times of 95-110 minutes off-peak. Poole Quay and the Old Town have narrow one-way streets and restricted parking, so pickups there need a confirmed meeting point — the quayside by the lifeguard station or the Towncellars works well. Further north, Creekmoor, Oakdale and Broadstone are easy residential pickups with direct access to the A31 via the A349. Morning school traffic along the A3049 corridor (the so-called 'Poole Spur') can add 10-15 minutes between 8-9am, which we always factor into Heathrow and Gatwick quotes.
What's in the fare
Meet and greet at Gatwick (all 2 terminals), an hour after landing, drop-off fees and tolls. Child seats if you asked. The number on this page is the number you pay from the core towns — extras only if you add stops or land well outside that hour.
Journey time — when to leave
The Poole → Gatwick run takes 110 minutes in clear traffic. For early-morning departures we add a buffer for the M3/M25 — your confirmation will recommend a pickup time.
Planning your Poole to Gatwick trip
The Poole to Gatwick run is 100 miles and around 110 minutes off-peak. For London airports the M25 is the main variable: Friday afternoons, Sunday evenings and school-holiday start days can add 30-45 minutes. We always recommend a pickup time when you book, factoring in the day of the week and current M25 conditions.
The route
From Poole we take the A31 onto the M27, then the M3 and the M25 to Gatwick. The motorway is the clock, not the peninsula — except in summer, when getting off Sandbanks can eat the first twenty minutes. Your driver confirms the terminal from the booking, not from guesswork.
Tips for this journey
- Gatwick has two terminals (North and South) connected by a free shuttle — confirm which one on your boarding pass.
- Pack a phone charger for the long run — a flat phone at terminal drop-off is the most common travel hiccup.
- Booking your Poole → Gatwick return at the same time as your outbound usually saves money and guarantees your return driver knows your address.
