Long Distance Route

The Route

The distance from Dover to Gatwick is approximately 80 miles west across Kent, travelling via the M20, then the M26 to the M25, and takes about one hour and twenty minutes. This long distance transfer links the country's busiest ferry port, which is also a major cruise port, with Gatwick, and the traffic includes both.

East Kent residents travelling out of Gatwick form one group and passengers using cruise or ferry services who connect to flights form the other group.

Dover to Gatwick

Against the train

Rail from Dover doesn't head west towards Gatwick at all - it runs north to St Pancras or London Bridge first, then back south on a connecting service. Best case, that's 1 hour 55 minutes. Driving takes 1 hour 20.

So the train takes half an hour longer and adds a transfer - not a realistic ask alongside a week's luggage off a cruise ship. It's worse again for a same-day flight connection, where one missed link can undo the whole plan.

This one comes down to geography, not comfort.

Booking this route

Terminal information including date and time are needed. In case of boat connection, provide the name of the ship and its scheduled arrival time and use the number of cases instead of passengers' seats. Compare airport transfers in Kent for other trips from the region, Gatwick transfers for the terminal end, and Dover Cruise Terminal to Heathrow transfers for the long haul connection.

Booked a Lamborghini Huracan for a weekend in London through Autofusion and the whole process was effortless.
