Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the things people ask us most about taxis in Haywards Heath.

How much does a taxi from Haywards Heath to Gatwick cost?
A standard 4-seater taxi from Haywards Heath Station to Gatwick North or South Terminal typically costs £28–£36 during daytime hours, depending on your exact pickup point and traffic. Premium rates apply between 11pm and 6am, and on Sundays / public holidays. Use the booking form above for an exact, upfront quote.
Are Haywards Heath taxis metered or fixed price?
Bookings made through this page are upfront quoted — you see the exact price (based on distance, journey time and current demand) before you confirm, and that is what you pay. Airport runs (Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Luton) are fixed prices regardless of time or traffic. Hackney carriages flagged in the street may still operate a meter set by the local council, which is separate from this booking service.
Do I need an app to book a taxi?
No. You can book directly from this page with no app and no account — just your name, phone and email. There's also a free XTaxi24 app if you want saved addresses, ride history and faster repeat bookings.
Can I pay by card in Haywards Heath taxis?
Yes — every taxi in the XTaxi24 network accepts card payment in-car via the driver's terminal, as well as cash. Card readers handle contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Is there a 24-hour taxi service in Haywards Heath?
Yes. Bookings on this page are dispatched 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Late-night and early-morning availability is best when pre-booked — you can schedule a pickup up to several weeks in advance.
Are wheelchair accessible taxis available?
Yes — tick the “Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Required” option in the booking form above and a ramp-equipped vehicle will be dispatched. Note these vehicles take ~30% longer for the same journey due to careful loading.
