This is a different kind of page for us, because it's a different kind of journey — no flight to track, no terminal to meet at, just two Medway-way towns roughly 15 to 16 miles apart, joined by both a decent road and a genuinely good direct Thameslink service every half hour. We'd be lying if we told you the train doesn't work here; for a solo traveller with a light bag, it does, in around 35 minutes. What we offer is the car for everything else: groups heading to Bluewater together, a late finish that misses the last convenient service, moving day with more than a rucksack, or simply preferring a door-to-door ride over a 30-minute wait on the platform. One seat, via the A2 and M2, roughly 21 to 25 minutes. The desk answers on 020 8888 9988, any hour.
| RAIL | Direct Thameslink, ~34-35min | GENUINELY GOOD |
| ROAD | A2 → M2 | ~21-25MIN |
| DIST | ~15-16 miles | SHORT HOP |
| FARE | Quoted in writing | NO SURGE |
| Thameslink, direct | The car | |
|---|---|---|
| The route | One direct service, Chatham station to Dartford, no changes | A2 to M2, door to door |
| Typical time | 34-35 minutes, departing every 30 minutes | 21-25 minutes, whenever you're ready |
| Who it suits best | A solo traveller happy to work around the half-hourly timetable | Groups, luggage, odd-hour journeys, or simply not wanting to plan around a platform |
Said honestly: most of our route guides exist because the rail alternative genuinely struggles. This one doesn't — Thameslink does a solid job on this corridor. We're here for the traveller the train doesn't quite suit: a family, a home move, a very early or very late journey, or someone who'd simply rather not build their day around a half-hourly platform.
| The traveller | Why the car fits better here |
|---|---|
| Bluewater shoppers | One of Europe's largest shopping centres sits right by Dartford — a group day trip rarely wants a 30-minute rail wait each way |
| Dartford Crossing connections | Travellers continuing north over the Thames, where a car already heading that direction saves a second leg |
| Home movers & business deliveries | More than a suitcase fits in the boot without negotiating platform space |
| Very early or very late journeys | Outside Thameslink's most convenient hours, a fixed car removes the guesswork entirely |
| Vehicle class | Typical cars | Passengers | Cases | Your price |

Every quote below is reproduced word for word from a genuine, public five-star Google review of Get London Transfer. Nothing polished, nothing invented.
"Our car transfer service was smooth and convenient. I appreciated that the company monitored our flight both before departure and upon arrival, demonstrating great attention to detail, clear communication, and excellent personalised customer service. The ride was comfortable, and the driver was courteous. Despite the tube strike, the service made our journey hassle-free and stress-free. Highly recommend!"
"We arranged a transfer from the O2 arena to Hampshire after a concert with kids. Really good comms up front, sorted a large vehicle, gave me the drivers contact the day before. the driver arrived early and gave perfect details to find him in a very busy area, drove very smoothly, in fact a very smooth process end to end, much needed after a late night, thank you!"
"Great experience as we booked to pick us up from Tottenham stadium after a concert, and take us back to Wickford. Communication from start to finish was excellent. Mr Mukul was fantastic, and made it easy for us to find him, due to all the road closures etc near the venue. Would recommend, and will use again with no hesitation."

Very — a group heading to one of Europe's largest shopping centres rarely wants to plan around a 30-minute rail wait each way. One car, one fare, whenever you're ready to go.
