London City to Hythe is a straightforward run of about 65 miles. Most passengers book it rather than change trains with luggage, particularly on late arrivals when the rail connection thins out.
How your pickup works
We cover addresses across Kent. The driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, helps with the bags and takes the quickest route by road. If your flight lands early or late, the pickup moves with it — we track the flight number you give us at booking.
