A taxi from Hawkhurst to Gatwick with C Line Cars costs from £90, plus a £5 pick-up/drop-off charge, at a fixed price agreed before you travel. The trip normally takes 55–70 minutes. Call 01580 459049 to confirm your exact fare and book.
No — Hawkhurst has no railway station, so public transport to Gatwick means a bus to Wadhurst or Tunbridge Wells, a train to London, then a Gatwick Express or Thameslink service — typically 2.5–3 hours. A pre-booked taxi takes around an hour, door to door.
Both — Gatwick's North and South terminals are covered as standard. Tell us which one your airline uses when you book and we'll take you straight there rather than the wrong side of the shuttle.
Gatwick is around 36–40 miles from Hawkhurst, with a typical journey time of 55–70 minutes depending on traffic — allow longer during school-holiday mornings, when the roads out of the Weald get busier earlier. Your driver picks you up from your door in Hawkhurst, Cranbrook, Sandhurst or one of the surrounding villages and takes you straight to whichever Gatwick terminal your flight uses — no changes, no dragging luggage across a station platform, no metered surprises when traffic builds up on the way.
Because Hawkhurst has no railway station and no taxi rank, pre-booking with a local operator is the only door-to-door option for most residents — the alternative is a bus to Wadhurst or Tunbridge Wells, a train into London, then a further connection out to Gatwick, which can take 2.5–3 hours before you've even reached the airport.
No. £90 to Gatwick is fixed and agreed before you travel, plus the standard £5 pick-up/drop-off charge — including Gatwick's own official drop-off fee, so there's nothing extra to pay at the barrier.
Tell us your flight number when booking and we build in extra time either way — waiting for a delayed landing or bringing your pick-up forward for an early one, at no extra charge.
Whichever one your airline uses. Gatwick has North and South terminals — let us know when you book and we'll take you straight there rather than the wrong side of the inter-terminal shuttle.
Tell us how many passengers and cases when you book and we'll send the right vehicle — a standard saloon, or a spacious people carrier if a saloon won't fit everyone.
No. Gatwick Airport's own official drop-off charge is £10 (raised from £7 in January 2026), but if C Line Cars is dropping you off, this is already built into your fixed £90 fare. There's nothing extra to pay at the barrier.
Most airlines recommend arriving at least 2 hours before a European flight and 3 hours before a long-haul flight, though it's worth checking your airline's own guidance. Tell us your flight time when you book and we'll work back from that to set your pick-up time, with extra buffer for early-morning departures.
