Prices by vehicle
Pick the vehicle by luggage, not by headcount — six people with six large cases need the eight-seater, not the six-seat MPV.

How long does it take to get from Gatwick to Folkestone?
Allow 80–100 minutes for the 75-mile journey. That is a realistic door-to-door estimate rather than a best case; add time if you are travelling into the morning or evening peak around the M25 and M23.
How far is Folkestone from Gatwick Airport?

What happens if my flight is delayed?
Nothing, as far as the fare is concerned. We track your flight and move the pickup to the actual landing time. You get 45 minutes of free waiting after that before any waiting charge applies.
Where does the driver meet me at Gatwick?
In the arrivals hall of the North or South Terminal, whichever you land at, holding a name board, after you clear customs. The driver's number is sent to you before landing if you would rather call directly.
Can I book a return from Folkestone to Gatwick?
Yes. Return journeys are booked the same way and priced the same as the outbound leg. Tell us your check-in time and we will work the pickup back from it.
