Crawley Taxi & Minicab.
Managed Properly.

A Crawley taxi service you book before travel

National Transfer is based in Crawley and holds Crawley Borough Council Private Hire Operator's Licence OP297. We arrange pre-booked taxi and minicab journeys using Crawley Borough Council-licensed drivers. The difference is practical: your collection, destination, vehicle and communication are organised before the journey, rather than relying on finding a car at a rank.

Use the quote widget to begin, or call with the journey details if the arrangement needs discussion. An online quote shows the fixed fare before payment; full online payment confirms the booking. Tell us about passengers, luggage and accessibility needs so the selected vehicle suits the trip. We are available 24/7, with availability confirmed through booking rather than an unreserved promise of immediate collection.

Crawley to Gatwick: choose the timing carefully

These indicative driving times were calculated with Google Routes for a weekday mid-morning departure: Tuesday 27 October 2026 at 10:30 GMT. They use the same routing service and longest-distance alternative selection as our booking system, with traffic-aware estimates for this departure time. Neighbourhood names are representative starting points, not every address in the area.

Allow extra time at busy periods. These rounded five-minute ranges are indicative, not guaranteed arrival windows. Your exact address, roadworks and traffic can change the journey time; allow separately for check-in, baggage and assistance.

Enter your actual pickup address and check which terminal your airline uses. Choose the collection time to allow for the airline's check-in requirements and possible road delays, not just the distance shown on a map. If you are unsure, ask us to discuss the timing before confirming. A short local airport journey still needs enough time for luggage, children or getting settled in an accessible vehicle.

Early flights can be booked for overnight or early-morning collection. Have the full address, contact number and luggage details ready the evening before. For airport arrivals back into Crawley, give your flight details and terminal, then keep the phone number on your booking available. Our Gatwick airport taxi guide explains collection and terminal arrangements.

Areas we collect from

We arrange pickups across Ifield, Three Bridges, Pound Hill, Maidenbower, Furnace Green, Tilgate, Southgate, Broadfield, Bewbush, Kilnwood Vale, Gossops Green, Langley Green, Northgate, West Green, Forge Wood and Manor Royal. These names describe coverage, not a promise of identical travel times, a vehicle permanently stationed in each neighbourhood or a separate local office.

Provide a postcode, building number and any helpful entrance information. A flat, business park or larger site may have several access points, and a precise collection address reduces uncertainty. For Manor Royal business journeys, name the company or building and confirm the entrance you intend to use. If a colleague books on someone else's behalf, include the travelling passenger's reachable contact details.

Crawley and Three Bridges stations

A station transfer is useful when you need to reach a home or workplace beyond the rail journey. Tell us whether the collection is from Crawley station or Three Bridges station, the intended time and the onward address. If arriving by train, leave time to reach the agreed pickup point, and contact us if the service changes. Airport flight-monitoring arrangements should not be assumed to apply automatically to a train collection.

Hospitals and appointments

Journeys to Crawley Hospital or East Surrey Hospital need the correct entrance or department information, as well as the appointment time. Tell us if the passenger needs help entering the vehicle or is travelling with mobility equipment. This is private transport, not an ambulance or a clinical care service, and a booking does not include medical supervision.

For discharge or appointments with uncertain finish times, discuss how collection will be arranged rather than guessing a return time. A relative or care coordinator can help provide the necessary information. Our elderly and care home transport service is relevant where patient communication and an unhurried journey matter. Emergency medical needs require the appropriate emergency service, not a taxi booking.

County Mall, K2 Crawley and everyday journeys

We can arrange pre-booked transport to County Mall, K2 Crawley and other local destinations for shopping, leisure or family visits. Confirm the full destination and a sensible collection time if you need a return. Shopping bags, sports equipment or a pushchair can affect the space needed even when the passenger count is small.

Crawley to Heathrow and London

A Crawley to Heathrow transfer should specify your terminal, flight schedule and luggage. For London, provide the actual hotel, office, station or residential address so the route and price can be calculated properly. We coordinate direct journeys for personal and business travel, but do not promise a fixed travel duration irrespective of traffic, weather or road closures.

Our airport transfers from Crawley cover Heathrow and the other London airports, with executive options for business travellers. If the itinerary involves extra stops, several passengers joining en route or a time-sensitive onward connection, share the whole plan before booking. A simple point-to-point quotation should not be taken as covering additional requirements that were not entered.

Wheelchair accessible taxis in Crawley

Wheelchair accessible vehicles are available for local appointments, station journeys, airport transfers and longer travel. Tell us the equipment type, dimensions and whether the passenger stays in the wheelchair. Discuss access at the pickup and destination, especially if there are steps, a restricted entrance or a different meeting point from the main address.

Clear bookings and changes of plan

Our Booking Terms provide full cancellation conditions: at least 48 hours' notice receives a full refund, 24 to 48 hours is charged at 50% of the fare, and less than 24 hours is charged in full. For airport pickups, waiting starts after one hour from actual flight landing; the subsequent rate is £25 per hour pro rata. We monitor flights, but cannot guarantee driver availability where a flight is more than six hours late and will help arrange an alternative.

Choosing local transport

A local taxi is not necessarily the lowest-cost choice for one traveller. A bus or train may fit well when stops, service times and access suit your journey. Compare the complete trip, not just the main transport leg.
