TW Kings Cars runs pre-booked airport taxis from Teston to every London airport, door to door, 24 hours a day. We pick up from anywhere in the area — Teston Lane along the B2163, the village green and church of St Peter and St Paul, Tonbridge Road along the A26, and the lanes out towards Wateringbury and West Farleigh — 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.
Teston is a small Medway village about 4 miles west of Maidstone, known for its medieval stone bridge — Teston Bridge, Grade I listed — and the country park and lock on the river below Barham Court. The B2163 runs south through the village to the bridge; the A26 passes along its north side.
A saloon car from Teston to Gatwick Airport is a fixed £85 and to Heathrow Airport a fixed £110. We also run fixed fares to London City (£105), Stansted (£130) and Luton (£155) — the full table for every airport and vehicle is below. Gatwick is about 42 miles from Teston and the drive takes around 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes in normal traffic; Heathrow is about 64 miles and takes around 1 hour 55 minutes to 2 hours 15 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 and DBS checked.

Every fare is one-way, per car (not per person), and fixed at the time of booking — traffic 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 Teston — £136 to Gatwick, £176 to Heathrow, £168 to London City, £208 to Stansted and £248 to Luton — for family holidays, golf trips, wedding parties 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.
Gatwick and Heathrow are the airports most Teston passengers use, but we run every London airport at a fixed fare. London City (£105 saloon) is the business traveller's choice — a small Docklands terminal, fast to clear, and handy for Canary Wharf and the City. Stansted (£130 saloon) serves the low-cost European routes; it is a long run round the M25 and up the M11, so we agree a generous pickup time when you book. Luton (£155 saloon) is the same story in the other direction — a fixed fare agreed up front, a driver who knows the M25/M1 pattern, and no meter ticking in traffic. Whichever airport you are flying from, the price you are quoted is the price you pay.
Teston has no station — its old halt on the Medway Valley Line closed in 1959. The nearest station is Wateringbury, about 1.5 miles west, and even from there no train runs to an airport: Gatwick or Heathrow by rail means two or three changes and well over two hours with luggage. From a village this size, a fixed-fare taxi from your own door is the straightforward option, day or night. If you want the train for a London trip, we are happy to run you to Wateringbury or Maidstone stations.
