Every Staplehurst Airport Taxis fare is a fixed price agreed at booking, not a metered rate — the amount you're quoted is the amount you pay, regardless of traffic or minor route changes on the day. Standard fares cover a saloon car for up to 4 passengers and 2 large suitcases; larger groups or extra luggage should book our minibus instead.

|---|---|---|
| Staplehurst → Gatwick | Saloon | £98 |
| Staplehurst → Heathrow | Saloon | £133 |
| Staplehurst → Stansted | Saloon | £130 |
| Staplehurst → Luton | Saloon | £160 |
| Staplehurst → London City | Saloon | £128 |
| Any airport | Minibus | Quoted per group — see minibus page |
Drop-off charge starts from £7 depending on the airport's own drop-off fee.
How to Book
Book by phone on 01892 308080, or use the online booking form on our homepage with your pickup address, flight number and travel date. We confirm your fixed fare and pickup time back to you before your journey.
Advance booking: We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for early-morning departures or busy travel dates — but we also accommodate last-minute and same-day bookings where a driver is available, so it's always worth calling even at short notice.
Payment Methods
Payment is taken on the day of travel unless otherwise agreed at booking.
Cancellation & Waiting Time
Cancellation
Cancellations made in good time before your scheduled pickup are free of charge. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a charge — call us directly if your plans change so we can confirm the details for your specific booking.
Waiting Time
A reasonable grace period is included for flight-related delays and unexpected arrivals hall queues at no extra cost. For an exact waiting-time allowance on your route, just ask when you book.
Flight Delays & Tracking
We track your flight in real time on every airport transfer, so if your flight is delayed or lands early, your pickup time adjusts automatically — you won't be charged extra, and your driver won't be late.
