Medway Taxi / Gatwick to Gillingham Taxi
Gatwick → Gillingham · ~44 Miles · Terminal to the Strand

Your Gatwick to Gillingham taxi — the short hop north-east, without a Victoria detour.

Landing at Gatwick Airport? Let us take the stress off

Your driver is waiting with a name board the moment you come through customs into arrivals – not in a car park, not on the phone. We track the flight, so a late landing costs you nothing, and the first 60 minutes after the plane lands are free waiting time. Luggage trolleys, a child seat, a wheelchair-friendly car: tell us when you book and it is ready.

SIM card and money on the way. Still carrying your own currency? That is fine: every car takes cards and contactless, so you need no pounds in hand for the journey. If you want a UK SIM or some cash, say so and your driver will point you to the kiosks in arrivals (SIM cards: WHSmith and Sim Local in both terminals’ arrivals; currency: Travelex / Moneycorp desks landside in North and South) or, usually cheaper, stop at a supermarket, Post Office or bank on the route to Gillingham. Our local drivers know where the fair rates and the working cash machines are – trust them to sort it in minutes.

Disabled-friendly arrival. Special assistance: Book via airline at least 48h ahead; Assisted Travel receptions at drop-off points, help points at bus stops, entrances, Short Stay car parks, check-in, pre-security and departure lounge; Eagle Hoist with 24h notice. Step-free: Most gates via airbridges; Ambulift where stairs; lifts to station platforms; Premium car parks same-level access. Guide & assistance dogs: Only assistance dogs allowed in terminals; notify airline 48h; Service Animal Spend Area via the Assisted Travel team. Pets: Dogs flying must meet the PETS scheme. Airport accessibility page Our driver meets you at the assistance desk if you prefer, carries folding wheelchairs and walkers free, and assistance dogs always travel with you at no charge.

Returning holidaymakers landing at Gatwick face a genuinely fine Express option if they're travelling light and alone — we say so plainly on the outbound page. Coming back as a family, with a fortnight's worth of suitcases, or simply landing shattered after a long-haul flight, the equation changes. A driver waits inside the arrivals hall, name held, your flight tracked since departure, then the M23 onto the M25, the M2 and A2 carrying you the rest of the way into Gillingham. Roughly 44 miles, one seat, no interchange to manage with tired kids or an overloaded trolley. Reach the desk on 020 8888 9988 at any hour your flight lands.

Who Books This Landing

Gatwick to Gillingham — the regulars

The travellerWhy the car fits better here
Families back from a fortnight abroadOne vehicle covers everyone and every case, no splitting up at the barriers with tired children

Straightforward residentsNo angle needed — just a tracked, direct ride home from the terminal

Fair to the Express, honest about its limits: solo and light, it genuinely works, roughly 90-95 minutes. With more than a rucksack, or more than yourself, the car covers the same 44 miles without a single change.

"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!"

Joel Versluys

"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!"

Dave Hewitt

"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."

Souvenirs & British brands

Tipping: 10–12.5% service is often added in restaurants, never in pubs or chippies. Most places take cards; a few old caffs and Sam Smith’s pubs are cash-only. Vegan and gluten-free options are marked on almost every London menu – just ask. The airport shops sell the same tea tins and biscuits at 2–3 times the supermarket price, so buy souvenirs in town.
