Your quote

What affects the exact price

The fare in the table is the starting point. Your fixed quote is based on three things, and it will not change once agreed.

  • Vehicle type. Saloon cars, executive cars and 8-seater minibuses each have their own rate.
  • Time of travel. Night pickups between 11:30pm and 6am, such as a 3:00am departure for an early flight, are priced at the night rate.
  • Luggage and passengers. Larger groups or extra cases travel more comfortably in a 6 or 8-seater, which has a different rate.

The journey

Tunbridge Wells to London City: what to expect

The drive to London City Airport usually takes 70 to 100 minutes, depending on traffic and the time of day. London City sits in the Docklands, so the journey runs through south-east London. Distance is shorter than Stansted or Luton, but London traffic makes the timing less predictable, especially at rush hour.

London City is popular with business travellers. For a weekday morning flight, allow extra time for rush-hour traffic, or book an executive car if you want to work on the way.

Coming home

Pickups from London City Airport

On your return, your driver tracks your flight and waits nearby, then meets you at the pickup point once you are through arrivals. London City is a small airport, so this is usually quick.

  • Flight delayed? Your driver leaves later. There is no charge for a late flight.
  • Price: from £148 for a standard car with the airport drop-off charge included. Call 01892 888888 to confirm your exact fare.
  • Bigger group or lots of luggage? Ask for an estate, an 8-seater or a 16-seat minibus.
