rental companies operate from both terminals. | | Car rental: | Car rental companies such as Avis, Budget, Europcar and Hertz
operate from both terminals. | | Airport Taxis: | Taxis from Gatwick Airport are available outside the Arrivals
Hall and a taxi to London city centre will take roughly an hour to
an hour-and-a-half as this road can be very busy. The cost can be
anything between £60 and £90. | | Facilities: | Both terminals have shops, restaurants, bars, left luggage,
bureaux de change, ATMs, an Internet café, baby changing
rooms and children's play areas. In the South Terminal there is a
