TW Kings Cars is Tunbridge Wells' own airport taxi service – fixed-fare transfers from anywhere in the Tunbridge Wells area to Gatwick, Heathrow, London City, Stansted and Luton, 24 hours a day. Gatwick is £65 and Heathrow £103 in a saloon car, agreed before you travel. Call 01892 800234, message us on WhatsApp or book online, and pay by card or cash.
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. Your driver arrives early for departures, makes contact by text or call when you land, and helps with your luggage. All drivers are licensed and DBS-checked.
Travelling from one of the villages instead? We run the same fixed-fare service from Pembury, Southborough, Rusthall, Langton Green, Frant and the villages across the borough – and from our station taxi pickups at Tunbridge Wells and High Brooms stations.
Gatwick is the closest airport to Tunbridge Wells – about 24 miles by the direct cross-country route, around 50 minutes by road. Our fixed saloon fare is £65. Both terminals are covered, and for departures your driver agrees a pickup time that builds in check-in time and traffic.
Heathrow is about 59 miles from Tunbridge Wells, around 1 hour 10 minutes via the A21 and M25. Our fixed saloon fare is £103, 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 £115 and Luton £148 in a saloon car. These are longer cross-London 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 Tunbridge Wells, with your flight tracked.
Fixed one-way fares from Tunbridge Wells, 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.

Flying as a group? Our 8-seater minibus fare is in the table above, and we also run 6, 7, 10, 12 and 16-seater minibuses from Tunbridge Wells for family holidays, sports trips, stag and hen parties and corporate travel – one vehicle, one fixed fare, everyone travelling together. See minibus hire in Kent or tell us your group size when you book.
There is no direct train from Tunbridge Wells to any London airport. Gatwick means changing at Tonbridge or Redhill (or going into London and back out), and Heathrow means crossing London with your bags. The first trains of the day are also too late for the earliest check-ins, and the last trains home leave before the late arrivals land.
A pre-booked taxi is door to door: your driver loads the luggage, drives you to the terminal, and is there when you land on the way back. For groups and families, one fixed fare for the car usually compares well with several rail fares plus the onward legs at both ends.
