Taxi vs Coach
Oxford to Gatwick: Taxi vs Coach
Unlike Oxford's well-known nonstop coach link to Heathrow, there's no equivalent frequent direct coach route from Oxford straight to Gatwick — most coach journeys need a change, typically at London Victoria coach station.
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.
The coach option
National Express and other operators run services between Oxford and London, and separately between London and Gatwick, but a single nonstop Oxford-to-Gatwick coach on a par with the Oxford-Heathrow 'Airline' route isn't a fixture on the network in the same way. Most coach journeys mean reaching a London coach station first, then a second leg out to Gatwick — a change and extra time.
Coach fares and schedules for these connections shift regularly, so it's worth checking National Express's own site for the current timetable and price if a coach-with-change suits your budget and timing.
The taxi option
A taxi collects from your exact Oxford address and runs straight to your Gatwick terminal, no vehicle change and no coach station to reach first. Our fixed fare is £139 for the whole car, whichever terminal you need.
For a family or group, or anyone who'd rather not manage a coach-to-coach change with luggage, a direct taxi tends to be the simpler option, even where a coach-with-change route might work out cheaper per person.
Which one makes sense
Travelling solo on a tight budget with light luggage, a coach connection via London is worth pricing up. For most groups, families, or anyone wanting one predictable fare and no changes, a direct taxi is the more straightforward choice on this particular route.
