We track your flight for every arrival pickup, and there is no additional charge for flight delays – if you land early or late, your driver adjusts.

Fordcombe is a small village in the Medway valley near Penshurst, west of Tonbridge.
We collect from anywhere in Fordcombe – Fordcombe, Penshurst, Speldhurst, Ashurst, Blackham and Langton Green – and the same fixed fares apply for the journey home from the airport.
Gatwick is about 23 miles from Fordcombe, around 50 minutes by road west through Langton Green and East Grinstead to the M23. Our fixed saloon fare is £80 to either terminal. For departures your driver agrees a pickup time that builds in check-in time and the state of the traffic on the day.
Heathrow is about 57 miles from Fordcombe, around 1 hour 15 minutes by road. Our fixed saloon fare is £120, to any terminal – T2, T3, T4 and T5 are all covered. For early flights, book the night before and your driver arrives at the agreed time.
London City is £110, Stansted £135 and Luton £155 in a saloon car. These are longer cross-country journeys, so your driver will agree a pickup time with a proper buffer for the M25. The same fixed fares apply for pickups from the airport back to Fordcombe, with your flight tracked.
Fixed one-way fares from Fordcombe, updated November 2026. The same fare applies in the other direction for pickups; return journeys are charged at the same fare each way. There is no additional charge for flight delays.
