Gatwick Airport Taxi Transfers

A moment ago I phoned a choice of airport taxi  companies and got quotes for the same jounrney. ( A journey from Kent to Gatwick) The most pricey quote was £220 and the least expensive was £75. I'm sure you  can think of a more beneficial manner to use the difference. Look all over the place for the best price!

The time you want the taxi can add ££'s to the rate of your journey!

A number of firms will charge extra if you require to be collected prior to 6 am. Other airport cab transfer firms have the same cost daytime or night.The price can also vary if you require to travel to the airport on Public Holidays.Good news is that by phoning various businesses will find a taxi company that will charge you the same cost 24/7 and save you  a great deal of cash in the process.

Below is a guide to what you should expect to pay for a single airport taxi transfer journey to Gatwick from all the major towns in Kent if you shop around.

Ashford to Gatwick £75, Canterbury to Gatwick £85, Dover to Gatwick £85, Faversham to Gatwick £70, Folkestone to Gatwick £80, Gillingham to Gatwick £65, Gravesend to Gatwick £65, Herne Bay to Gatwick £80, Hythe to Gatwick £80, Maidstone to Gatwick £60, Margate to Gatwick £90, Ramsgate to Gatwick £90, Rochester to Gatwick £60, Sandwich to Gatwick £90, Sittingbourne to Gatwick £65, Tenterden to Gatwick £75

Is parking built into the cost?

Parking can be dear and you  have to pay it! Make sure when you ask for a quote that you ask for the fully inclusive charge including all charges for the parking or you may have to find an additional £6+ to pay for it yourself.

Child Seats

Not every airport taxi firms will make available child seats but some that do won't even charge extra cash for them. I appreciate a lot of parents are uneasy about using child seats that they are unfamiliar with and would rather use their own. Some companies will in reality store your child seat for you in their workplace whilst you are out of the country and transport it to the airport for you upon your return to the UK. A good modest add on that can give you peace of mind on the journey and one less bulky item to take on the airplane.

Airport Inns Yes or No?

Every so often checking into an airport inn the night before your flight is less expensive than booking a return transfer! You can park your car at the inn for the length of your vacation or company trip free of cost and their transfer bus will take you to the terminal and pick you up again on your arrival.

Gatwick Airport is the closest major international airport to Kent, being situated in the north of West  Sussex, close to Crawley. It is the busiest single runway airport in the world and flies over 30 million passengers to over 200 destinations each year.

Gatwick airport has always been popular with the people of Kent, many of whom use it to fly out on their holidays to the sun each year.

Airport parking is expensive however with the typical cost being over £10 per day. As a result many more travellers are booking airport taxis as a stress free and cost effective alternative.

Prices vary dramatically between airport taxi companies but if you shop around you should expect to pay aroud £75 one way from Ashford and £80 from Canterbury.

Many people have made the mistake of believing that being only around an hour away from Gatwick they will be fine to drive after their holiday. However they find they are worn out after a long flight, are in no fit state to drive and wish they had booked an airport taxi instead.

It pays to do your research before booking an airport taxi to ensure you get the best deal. Surely the money you could save would be better used on holiday spending money instead?
