How your pickup works
What your Heathrow Airport to Canterbury transfer includes
We cover the cathedral, the universities and the Kent coast beyond. The driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, helps with the bags and takes the usual route clockwise round the M25, over the Dartford Crossing or through the Thames tunnels, then out on the M20 or M2. If your flight lands early or late, the pickup moves with it — we track the flight number you give us at booking.
