Not every journey with TW Kings Cars ends at an airport. Plenty of our regular passengers use us for long distance runs across the South East and further afield — a client meeting in the City, a family visit in Cambridge, a ferry connection at Dover, or a weekend away in Oxford. For these trips we agree the price with you before you set off, so a two-hour motorway journey never turns into an unpredictable bill. Every long distance booking is covered by the same fixed-price promise as our airport transfers, with a professional, DBS-checked driver and a clean, comfortable vehicle for the whole trip.
Long distance work suits our fleet well. Estate cars give extra boot space for a full week's luggage, executive saloons are built for a relaxed two-hour motorway run, and our minibus handles a group heading to the same event or family gathering together. Whatever the distance, TN1, TN2 and TN4 postcodes are our home patch, and we know the quickest way out onto the A21 and A26 without getting caught in central Tunbridge Wells traffic first.
Most long distance bookings start right in the town centre, and The Pantiles — the Georgian colonnaded parade that has been the heart of Tunbridge Wells since the 17th century — is a familiar pick-up point for us, along with the surrounding Camden Road and Mount Pleasant area. Whether you're setting off from a Pantiles restaurant after a business lunch or from a hotel nearby before an early departure, we'll have a driver waiting at the time you've booked, not circling for parking.
We also collect from residential addresses right across the TN1, TN2 and TN4 postcodes and the surrounding villages, so you don't need to make your own way into town first. For long journeys, a driver arriving five minutes early to load luggage properly makes the whole trip smoother — that's standard practice with TW Kings Cars, not an extra request.
Tunbridge Wells mainline station sits right in the centre of town, with direct services to London Charing Cross and Cannon Street — but it doesn't get you everywhere, and it certainly doesn't get you there with your luggage handled and a driver who waits if your connection runs late. We regularly collect passengers from outside the station for cross-country journeys the rail network makes awkward: a direct run to Oxford or Cambridge, for instance, would otherwise mean two changes and a wait in London.
For business travellers, a car straight from the station forecourt to a meeting in Guildford or Reading often beats the train-and-taxi combination on both time and cost once you add it all up. We also handle the reverse trip — collecting you from home or the office and delivering you straight to a mainline station elsewhere when that route makes more sense than driving the whole way.
Brighton is one of our most requested coastal runs — around 33 miles and 50 minutes down the A26 and A23, popular for day trips, hen and stag parties, and seafront weekends. Dover is a regular booking for ferry and cruise passengers, roughly 55 miles and just over an hour via the M20, and we track ferry departure times the same way we track flights so you're never cutting a sailing fine. Further out, Oxford and Cambridge are both around 90 to 100 miles from Tunbridge Wells — a two-hour run each way that suits an executive saloon far better than three trains and two changes.
Closer to home, we cover Canterbury, Rye, Hastings and the wider Kent and East Sussex countryside for weddings, family visits and business trips.
