About the West Cliff to Gatwick transfer
The run from West Cliff to Gatwick Airport is around 98 miles, typically taking 106 minutes off-peak, door-to-door. Both terminals (North and South) covered. Driver meets you in Arrivals with a name board; live flight tracking means we adjust for early or delayed landings.
Pickup in West Cliff
For the Gatwick run: West Cliff covers the BIC, Exeter Road, Durley Chine and the hotels along West Overcliff Drive. Conference mornings and event days at the BIC change the traffic; we treat those as a known delay, not a surprise. Durley Chine and Tregonwell Road are steep and tight for a large MPV. Airport work here is hotels, the BIC, and the apartments toward Alum Chine. For Heathrow we leave via the town toward the A338 rather than wandering the chine roads. If you are at a West Overcliff hotel, say which one — “West Cliff” is a neighbourhood, not a driveway.

Planning your West Cliff to Gatwick trip
The West Cliff to Gatwick run is 98 miles and around 106 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. Pickup: BIC event days need extra time. Name the hotel or the chine; a large MPV may not like Tregonwell Road, so we confirm access.
The route
From West Cliff we take the A31 onto the M27, with the usual build-up around Cadnam, then the M3 and the M25 to Gatwick. Your driver confirms the terminal from the booking, not from guesswork.
