TW Kings Cars runs pre-booked airport taxis from Collier Street to every London airport, door to door, 24 hours a day. We pick up from anywhere in the village — along the B2162, around St Margaret's Church, and the lanes out towards Yalding, Marden and Horsmonden — and take you straight to your terminal. No meter, no surge pricing: your fare is fixed when you book, and it is the price you pay.
A saloon car from Collier Street to Gatwick Airport is a fixed £90 and to Heathrow Airport a fixed £120 (full fare table below, including estate cars, 6-seaters, 8-seater minibuses and executive cars). Gatwick is about 46 miles from Collier Street and the drive takes around 1 hour 5 minutes in normal traffic; Heathrow is about 66 miles and takes around 1 hour 40 minutes depending on the M25. When you book, we agree a pickup time that gets you to the terminal with time to spare.
Coming home, we track your flight. If your plane is delayed, your driver simply adjusts — TW Kings Cars makes no additional charge for flight delays — and will text or call you on arrival and help with your luggage. All our drivers are licensed by the local council, DBS checked, and know the lanes between Collier Street, Yalding and Marden well, including the early-morning runs when no train can help you.

| From Collier Street to | Saloon (4 seats) | Estate | MPV (6 seats) | 8-Seater Minibus | Executive |

| Gatwick Airport | £90 | £108 | £120 | £144 | £126 |

Every fare is one-way, per car (not per person), and fixed at the time of booking — traffic on the B2162, A21 or M25 never changes your price. The return journey is the same fare each way. Book both legs together and your return pickup is tracked against your flight.
Travelling as a group? Our 8-seater minibuses run the same fixed fares from Collier Street — £144 to Gatwick and £192 to Heathrow — for family holidays and group airport runs where two cars would cost more and arrive separately. Everyone travels together, with room for cases, buggies and sports bags. Tell us your passenger numbers and luggage when you book and we will send the right vehicle.
Collier Street has no station of its own — the nearest is Yalding, about 3 miles away — and there is no direct train from Yalding to any London airport; reaching Gatwick by rail means changes and usually the best part of two hours with luggage. For an early departure, a late arrival, children, heavy cases or a group, a fixed-fare taxi from your own door is simpler and often cheaper than several train tickets plus a station run at each end. For a daytime trip into London itself, the train from Yalding is a good option — and we are happy to run you to and from the station for that too.
