Gatwick to Reading by Taxi
The route from Gatwick to Reading runs north on the M23, joins the M25 towards the M4, then heads west along the M4 into Reading. Most journeys take between 1 hour 15 minutes and 1 hour 45 minutes, depending on M25 traffic and where in Reading you are going. Your driver follows live traffic and may choose a different road if the motorway is held up.
Meet & greet is available on arrival, so you do not need to hunt for a taxi rank or wait for an app driver. Add your flight number and arrival terminal, North or South, when you book. We track the flight, and your driver is ready for you once you have collected your bags and cleared passport control.
The M25 is the part of the route that varies most. Quiet off-peak runs sit towards the shorter end of the 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes range, while weekday mornings and Friday afternoons sit towards the longer end. If you are travelling at a busy time, build a little extra time into any plans you have once you are back in Reading.
