Gatwick → Leighton Buzzard, in plain terms.
84 mi via A4012 → A5 → M1 → M25 → M40 → M4. Around 1h 37m in light traffic. At peak times allow an extra 27 min (mornings typically ~124 min, evenings ~107 min) — your driver builds this into the agreed pickup so you still arrive on time.

Gatwick's £10 drop-off / pickup charge is included; both North and South Terminals are the same fare.
