How your Gatwick pickup works
Booking a pickup from Gatwick takes four simple steps, and flight tracking does the worrying for you. Give us your flight number once, and we watch that flight until you are in the car — so a delay never leaves you standing in arrivals, and an early landing never leaves you waiting either.
- Book and give us your flight number. Call 01892 308087 or book online. Tell us which terminal — North or South — and where in Tunbridge Wells you are going.
- We track your flight. Your pickup time moves with your actual landing time, not the timetable.
- Land, collect your bags, meet your driver. Meet & greet is included on return journeys — your driver is at the agreed meeting point at your terminal.
- Straight home, door to door. Around 35–45 minutes via the M23, A264 and A26, dropped at your own front door — no station, no changes, no dragging cases through the Pantiles in the rain.
Landing at the North Terminal or the South Terminal?
We collect from both Gatwick terminals for the same fixed £59 fare. The North Terminal serves flights including easyJet's main operation, and the South Terminal handles a mix of short-haul and long-haul arrivals — whichever one you land at, your driver meets you there. Just tell us your flight number when you book and the terminal is worked out from the flight itself.
Why not just take the train home?
There is no direct train from Gatwick Airport to Tunbridge Wells. Rail journeys mean at least one change — usually a slow connection — and typically take far longer than the 35–45 minute drive, before you have even got from Tunbridge Wells station to your door with luggage. A pre-booked taxi is one seat, one fare, airport door to your own door. Read our full taxi vs train comparison →
Dropped at your door — Tunbridge Wells and the villages
Your driver takes you to your actual address, not the nearest station. We drop off across Tunbridge Wells — the town centre and Pantiles (TN1), Hawkenbury and Sherwood (TN2), St John's, Mount Ephraim and High Brooms (TN4) — and to the surrounding villages at the same fixed village fares published on our village pages:
- Southborough → from £59
- Pembury → from £59
- Rusthall → from £59
- Speldhurst → from £62
- Groups of 5–8: minibus transfers from £75

Gatwick to Tunbridge Wells Taxi — Questions Answered
How much is a taxi from Gatwick to Tunbridge Wells?
A taxi from Gatwick Airport to Tunbridge Wells costs a fixed £59 with C Line Cars for a standard saloon carrying up to four passengers. The fare is confirmed when you book and covers the whole car, not per person. It never rises with traffic, flight delays or late-night landings, and there is no meter running.
How long does a taxi from Gatwick Airport to Tunbridge Wells take?
The drive from Gatwick Airport to Tunbridge Wells takes around 35–45 minutes in normal traffic. It is 23 miles, mostly motorway and dual carriageway on the M23, then the A264 and A26 into town. Late-night and early-morning landings are usually at the quicker end, because the roads between Gatwick and Tunbridge Wells are quiet.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed, your pickup simply moves with it. When you book, you give us your flight number and we track the flight's actual landing time, so your driver arrives for when you really land — not the scheduled time. Your fare stays at the fixed price agreed when you booked, whatever the delay.
What if my flight lands earlier than scheduled?
If your flight lands early, the same flight tracking works in your favour. We follow the flight's live arrival time, so your driver adjusts the pickup earlier as well and is at the terminal when you come through. You will not be left waiting in arrivals because your plane beat its timetable into Gatwick.
Where do I meet my driver at Gatwick Airport?
You meet your driver at the agreed meeting point at your arrival terminal — meet & greet is included on return journeys with C Line Cars. When you book, tell us your flight number and whether you land at the North or South Terminal, and the meeting arrangement is confirmed with you before you fly.
Do you pick up from both the North and South Terminals at Gatwick?
Yes, we collect passengers from both the North Terminal and the South Terminal at Gatwick, for the same fixed £59 fare to Tunbridge Wells. You do not need to change terminals or take the shuttle. Just give us your flight number when you book, and your driver meets you at the terminal your flight actually lands at.
Is there a direct train from Gatwick to Tunbridge Wells?
No, there is no direct train from Gatwick Airport to Tunbridge Wells. Rail journeys need at least one change and usually take considerably longer than the 35–45 minute taxi drive, and you still have to get from Tunbridge Wells station to your door at the end. A pre-booked taxi is one direct ride, airport to your address.
Can you drop us off in the villages around Tunbridge Wells?
Yes, we drop off in the villages around Tunbridge Wells as well as in the town itself. Fixed fares are £59 from Gatwick to Southborough, Pembury and Rusthall, and £62 to Speldhurst — the same fixed village fares as the outward journey. Tell us the village and address when you book and the fare is confirmed before you fly.
There are six of us with luggage. What should we book?
Book a 6-seat minibus for a fixed £75, or an 8-seat minibus for £90 if your group is seven or eight people. The price covers the whole vehicle, not per passenger, and one minibus is usually cheaper and simpler than two saloon cars. Flight tracking and meet & greet are included, and pre-booking is essential for groups.
Do you run pickups for late-night and early-morning landings?
Yes, Gatwick pickups run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including bank holidays. A large share of flights land late at night or in the early hours, and those are normal bookings for us — your fare stays at the same fixed price agreed when you booked, with no night surcharge added on top.
How do I book a taxi from Gatwick to Tunbridge Wells?
Call C Line Cars on 01892 308087, or book online in a couple of minutes. Have your flight number, your arrival terminal and your Tunbridge Wells address ready. We confirm your fixed fare, start tracking your flight, and arrange your driver to meet you when you land — that is everything done before you even take off.
Is the fare per person or per car?
The fare is per car, never per person. One fixed price — £59 for a saloon — covers the vehicle and everyone travelling in it, whether that is one passenger or four. The price is agreed when you book and does not change: no meter, no surge pricing, and nothing added because your flight arrived late.
