In short
The journey from Gatwick to Cambridge is 96 miles and takes 1 hr 55 min to 2 hr 25 min by road, via M25 clockwise to M11.
A private car from Gatwick Airport to Cambridge covers 96 miles in around 1 hr 55 min to 2 hr 25 min, door to door, with no changes and no waiting for a connection.
The journey
Meet and greet in the arrivals hall of the North or South Terminal, whichever your airline uses. If the flight moves, the pickup moves with it — you are not paying for a car that left without you.
The route runs M25 clockwise to M11 — 96 miles in total, around 1 hr 55 min to 2 hr 25 min depending on traffic and time of day. One driver, one car, no changes and no connections to miss.
One optional stop on the M11 corridor. At 96 miles this is a single-leg run for most passengers, though we will stop whenever you ask.
We drop wherever you need in and around Cambridge — the university colleges, Cambridge Science Park and Addenbrooke’s Hospital are all regular destinations. Door to door, with luggage carried to the entrance.
Meeting you
Meet and greet in the arrivals hall of the North or South Terminal, whichever your airline uses. We track your flight from take-off, so if you land early or late the pickup time moves with it. The two terminals are two miles apart and linked by a shuttle, so being dropped at the wrong one means an unplanned transfer with your luggage.

On the road
In their words
“Booked a chauffeur for an early airport run and the car was outside five minutes before pickup. Smooth, quiet journey and the driver knew the fastest route around the roadworks.”
“We use XLNC Cars for client visits regularly. The vehicles are always spotless and the drivers are properly turned out — it reflects well on us, not just them.”
“Hired the VIP car for a wedding and it made the whole day feel special. Punctual, professional, and the driver waited patiently through the photos.”
Good to know
1 hr 55 min to 2 hr 25 min, covering 96 miles. The lower figure is a clear run; the higher one allows for peak-time traffic.
We quote a fixed price before you book, based on the vehicle class and the time of travel, and it does not change if the traffic is bad. Call 01483 310310 or send the journey details through the booking form for a firm figure.
Directly at your destination address in Cambridge. Surrey to Cambridge by rail means crossing London with luggage. The car removes the cross-London leg entirely, which is most of the reason people book it.
We track it. Your driver's pickup time moves with the flight, so a delay does not mean a missed car or a second fare. For departures, tell us your flight and we work the pickup back from it.
Yes — returns are booked at the same time as the outbound and quoted together. Most Gatwick Airport customers book both legs at once, and the same driver often covers them.
