A Town Inside a River Loop

Shrewsbury sits inside a near-complete loop of the River Severn, with the old streets and the castle on the neck of land in the middle. It is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in England, and the layout that makes it lovely also makes it slow to drive through.

The town centre has narrow streets and a handful of bridges, so the way we leave depends on which side of the river you live. The bypass takes you round to the A5 and the M54, and from there the M6 heads south. Your driver works out the best line on the morning rather than following a fixed route.

We are a fully licensed operator, and we run long-distance airport taxi work across Shropshire every week. It is the same service whether you book an executive taxi for business or a family airport transfer with the child seats already fitted.

The Route from Shrewsbury to Gatwick Airport

The Shrewsbury to Gatwick Airport transfer is 198 miles and normally takes three hours and twenty-three minutes. Your driver takes the A5 out to the M54, joins the M6 south of Telford, then follows the M40, M25 and M23 to the airport.

Under three and a half hours is quick for a town with no motorway of its own. The M54 does the connecting work, and because you join the M6 well south of Birmingham you miss the stretch that usually costs drivers time.

We take the M40 rather than staying on the M6, which brings you onto the west side of the M25 where traffic normally moves better. We drop you right outside your terminal, and a break can be built in if you want one.

The price you are quoted at booking is the price you pay. Each fixed fare taxi rate below covers the full 198-mile journey from your Shrewsbury address to the North or South Terminal. Fuel, tolls and driver time are already included, so there is no meter and nothing added at the end.

Gatwick Airport Pickup to Shrewsbury

Book your Gatwick Airport pickup to Shrewsbury at the same time as the outward trip and there is nothing left to arrange while you are away.

We watch your flight from the moment it takes off. Land early, land late or get diverted and the driver is simply re-timed, at no extra cost to you.

Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall with a name board, takes your bags and walks you to the car. Under three and a half hours home means a late landing is easy to handle. Arrive at midnight and you are back in Shrewsbury by about half past three.

A saloon for up to three people starts at £257. Most families choose the MPV at £297. Groups take the 12 seater at £396 or the 16 seater at £436. The price you see when booking is the price you pay.

How long does the journey take?

About three hours and twenty-three minutes in normal traffic, using the A5, M54, M6, M40, M25 and M23. Joining the M6 south of Telford keeps you clear of the Birmingham stretch.

Yes. We collect from Church Stretton, Wem, Baschurch, Shawbury, Pontesbury, Minsterley, Ellesmere and the surrounding villages at a fixed price. Enter your postcode for the exact fare.

Should I book early?

Yes, it is much better. Booking ahead holds a car for your time slot and fixes your price, while last-minute bookings depend on what is free.
