How much is an airport transfer?
It depends which airport. From Goudhurst, our fixed fares start at £80 to Gatwick, £125 to Heathrow and £130 to Stansted, each plus a £5 pick-up/drop-off charge. Luton and London City are quoted individually. Whichever airport you're flying from, the price is agreed with you before you travel.
Heading to Gatwick, we typically run west along the A262 to Lamberhurst and pick up the A21 toward the M23 — the shortest of the five runs, usually 50-60 minutes. Heathrow and Stansted both mean the M25 for the bulk of the journey: for Stansted we stay on the M25 up to the M11, and for Heathrow we come off toward Junction 14 or 15. Luton is a longer run out via the M25 and M1, and London City sits the other side of London via the M25 and A2/A20 corridor. Wherever you're headed, we build the extra time for the smaller Weald roads into every quote, not just the motorway miles.
We're not trying to be the cheapest airport pickup in Kent, and we're not a premium chauffeur service either — we're a fixed, honest price agreed before you travel, whichever of the five airports you're flying from.
London Gatwick's own transport pages confirm the airport has an official private-hire partner operating from both terminals — a good reminder that wherever you fly from, it's worth checking any driver or company you book is properly licensed.
| Airport | Fixed Fare | Journey Time |
|---|---|---|
| Gatwick Airport | from £80 | ~50-60 mins |
| Heathrow Airport | from £125 | ~90-120 mins |
| Stansted Airport | from £130 | ~2-2.5 hrs |
| Luton Airport | Price on request | ~2-2.5 hrs |
| London City Airport | Price on request | ~1.5-2 hrs |
All fares include a £5 pick-up/drop-off charge on top of the amount shown, and are correct as of September 2026 and agreed with you in full before you travel.
We'd recommend at least 24-48 hours for any of the five airports, and earlier still for early-morning flights or school holiday periods when demand is higher. Being a small, local team rather than a large fleet, advance booking is the best way to guarantee your preferred pick-up time.
Yes, Uber operates at Gatwick, but pick-up from a small village like Goudhurst is a different matter — availability can be patchy, especially early or late. Pre-booking directly with a local firm means your car is confirmed for the time you actually need it, not whichever driver happens to be nearby.
It depends on your situation. For an early flight, a late return, heavy luggage, or a group, a pre-booked fixed-fare transfer is usually worth it over public transport or an unbooked taxi — you know the price and the pick-up time in advance, with no last-minute scramble.
