How it works
- Tell us the journey. Pickup address, airport, date, time and how many of you are travelling. It takes a minute.
- Get a fixed price. Your enquiry goes to a licensed Kent private-hire operator who replies with an all-in quote, usually the same day.
- Book with the operator. You confirm directly with them. They track your flight, meet you at the door and take you to the terminal.
Why pre-book rather than hail, drive or take the train?
The same 65-mile journey from Kent to Gatwick was once quoted to us at £75 by one firm and £220 by another. That spread has not gone away. A pre-booked private-hire car is a fixed price agreed in advance, and for two or more passengers it usually beats the train once you add the taxi to the station, the airport express fare and the early start. It also beats a week of airport parking for anything over three or four days.

Questions people ask
How far in advance should I book an airport taxi from Kent?
For a long transfer to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted or Luton, 48 hours' notice is comfortable and a week is better in school holidays. Same-day bookings are often possible but you will have fewer operators to choose from and pay more.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. A pre-booked airport transfer from a Kent private-hire operator is quoted as a fixed price for the journey, not a metered fare. Ask whether airport drop-off charges and the Dart Charge are included; on this site's indicative prices they are not.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Operators track inbound flights and adjust the pickup time. A reasonable waiting period after landing, typically 30 to 60 minutes, is included in most quotes. Waiting beyond that may be charged per 15 minutes.
Is a pre-booked car cheaper than the train?
For one person, rarely. For two or more, or for anything before 07:00, a car is usually cheaper once you add taxis at each end and the Gatwick Express or Stansted Express, and it is door to door with your luggage.
Which is the closest airport to Kent?
It depends where you are. London City is closest for Dartford, Gravesend and Medway. Gatwick is closest for Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and the Weald. For east Kent, Gatwick and London City are similar in time and Gatwick usually has the flight you want.
