Long Distance Taxi
from Kent — Fixed Price
When your journey takes you beyond the local area — into London, out to another UK city for business, or down to the Eurotunnel Folkestone Terminal — you need more than a local cab. You need a driver who knows the route, a fixed price agreed before you set off, and a pickup you can rely on regardless of how far you’re going. Kent Airport Taxi has been running long-distance transfers from Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Ashford, Canterbury, Folkestone, Dartford, Bromley, Chatham, Gillingham, Swanley, Westerham, Edenbridge, Wadhurst, Cranbrook, Goudhurst, Crowborough and Horsmonden for over a decade.
This isn’t our Airport Taxi service and it isn’t our Port Transfer service — this is for everything else: London as a destination, intercity and business travel, and Eurotunnel Folkestone transfers. The further the journey, the more a fixed price matters. A meter running through motorway traffic, or a train replaced by a rail engineering bus halfway through your trip, can turn a simple journey into an expensive and stressful one. We agree your fare before you travel, and we hold to it.
- Fixed price, agreed in advance — no surge pricing, no surprises when you arrive
- 24/7 availability — early flights, late meetings, last-minute Eurotunnel slots
- Free child seats — booked in advance at no extra charge
- Executive tier available — for business travel and special occasions

Long Distance Taxi FAQs
How far will you travel from Kent?
We cover London, other major UK cities for business and intercity journeys, and the Eurotunnel Folkestone Terminal. If you have a specific long-distance route in mind, get in touch and we’ll confirm availability and a fixed price.
How is the price worked out if there’s no meter?
We agree your fare before you travel based on the route and vehicle type requested. Fixed price on request — call or WhatsApp 01892 308008 with your journey details and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Can I book a return journey at the same time?
Yes. Many passengers book their outbound and return together, particularly for London day trips and Eurotunnel transfers, so both legs are confirmed in one booking.
Do you offer executive vehicles for business travel?
Yes, our executive tier is available across all long-distance routes, and is particularly popular for intercity business trips and meetings where a higher standard of vehicle is expected.
Is there an extra charge for early morning or late-night pickups?
We operate 24/7. Fixed price on request covers the journey regardless of what time it departs — early Eurotunnel slots and late London finishes are both routine for us.
Do you provide child seats on long-distance journeys?
Yes, free child seats are available on request for any long-distance booking — just let us know when you book.
