Ashford airport taxi
Ashford is on the M20 and about an hour and a quarter from Gatwick in normal traffic, one of the shorter airport transfers in Kent. With international trains not having stopped at Ashford since 2020 and no return date confirmed, 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.
