Ashford airport taxi
Ashford is on the M20 and roughly an hour from Gatwick in normal traffic, making it one of the cheapest airport transfers in Kent. With international Eurostar services from Ashford still suspended, the airports have taken over for European travel, and pre-booked cars from Kennington, Willesborough, Kingsnorth and the villages out towards Tenterden are in steady demand.
