TW Kings Cars runs pre-booked airport taxis from Yalding to every London airport, door to door, 24 hours a day. We pick up from anywhere in the area — the High Street and Yalding Hill along the B2010, Hampstead Lane towards the station, and the lanes out towards Collier Street, Wateringbury and East Peckham — 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.
Yalding sits where three rivers meet — the Medway, the Teise and the Beult — between two medieval bridges, Twyford Bridge and the seven-arched Town Bridge. Hampstead Lock and the Medway Valley Walk are on the village's edge, and the lanes flood-plan plainly tells you this is river country.
A saloon car from Yalding to Gatwick Airport is a fixed £95 and to Heathrow Airport a fixed £126. We also run fixed fares to London City (£114), Stansted (£140) and Luton (£168) — the full table for every airport and vehicle is below. Gatwick is about 44 miles from Yalding and the drive takes around 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes in normal traffic; Heathrow is about 65 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.

Travelling as a group? Our 8-seater minibuses run the same fixed fares from Yalding — £152 to Gatwick, £202 to Heathrow, £182 to London City, £224 to Stansted and £269 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 Yalding passengers use, but we run every London airport at a fixed fare. London City (£114 saloon) is the business traveller's choice — a small Docklands terminal, fast to clear, and handy for Canary Wharf and the City. Stansted (£140 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 (£168 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.
Yalding has its own station on Hampstead Lane, about 0.8 miles from the village centre, on the Medway Valley Line — a stopping line to Maidstone, Strood and Paddock Wood with no direct airport service at all. Reaching Gatwick or Heathrow by rail from Yalding means two or three changes and the best part of two to three hours with luggage, and the line's first and last trains do not suit early departures or late arrivals. A fixed-fare taxi from your own door is simpler. For a daytime trip into Maidstone or London, the train is handy — and we run station pickups and drop-offs too.
