Gatwick is Paddock Wood's nearest major airport — closer than London City, Heathrow, Stansted, or Luton — which is a big part of why it's our most-booked airport run. The drive typically heads out via the A21 south, picking up the M25 near Sevenoaks and continuing round to the M23 spur for the final stretch into the airport. By road it's roughly 30 miles from Paddock Wood, usually taking 50-60 minutes, though we always build in extra time for known slow spots on the M25 and won't cut it fine on an early departure.
Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, connected by a free monorail but a good 10-15 minute walk apart if you're on foot — so let us know which terminal your flight departs from when you book, and your driver will take you straight to the right one rather than the wrong side of the airport. Details for both terminals are also on Gatwick Airport's own website, which we'd recommend checking against your booking confirmation closer to travel.
A taxi from Paddock Wood to Gatwick Airport with C Line Cars is a fixed £80, plus a £5 pick-up and drop-off charge. It's roughly a 30-mile drive taking 50-60 minutes in normal traffic via the A21 and M25, and the price is agreed with you before you travel — no meter, no surprises on arrival.
Our standard saloon comfortably takes up to 4 passengers with standard luggage — the right choice for most solo travellers, couples, and small families heading to Gatwick on the £80 fixed fare.
If you're travelling with extra suitcases, golf clubs, or bulkier items, our estate cars give you more boot space for up to 4 passengers, at the same £80 fixed fare to Gatwick.

We confirm your £80 fare (plus the £5 pick-up/drop-off charge) before you travel — agreed upfront, no meter.
Your driver arrives at the agreed time for the drive to Gatwick via the A21 and M25.
The train can work out cheaper per person if you're travelling light and don't mind changing trains, but a fixed-fare taxi is often the more predictable option once you count parking, luggage, and getting everyone to the station on time. With C Line Cars you get one flat price agreed upfront, so there's no surge pricing or last-minute cost surprises to budget around.
For most Gatwick flights, booking the day before is enough to get a confirmed price and pickup time. For early-morning departures we'd recommend booking 24-48 hours ahead so your pickup time is locked in well before you need to leave, though we can still take same-day and last-minute bookings if your plans change.
Let us know your passenger count and how much luggage you're bringing when you book, and we'll match you with the right vehicle — our estate cars handle extra suitcases and bulkier items better than a standard saloon. Telling us this upfront, rather than on the day, is the simplest way to make sure nothing gets left behind.
