Airport pickups across Maidstone
The county town, the M20 on its shoulder, and four fixed-fare routes out — this is how airport runs actually work from Maidstone.
Two very different journeys
From Maidstone the four airports fall into two groups. Gatwick is the short run — about 42 miles on the M20, M25 and M23, and the only one of the four whose typical time starts under an hour. Stansted, Heathrow and Luton are between 63 and 76 miles, west or north around the M25, and take 80–120 minutes. That gap matters most for early departures: a 6am flight from Gatwick and a 6am flight from Luton need pickups about 50 minutes apart.
Early departures
Most Maidstone airport runs leave between 3am and 5am. We work back from your flight time rather than the clock, and we operate 24 hours a day, so book ahead if you want a particular vehicle class.
Local pickups
We cover all of Maidstone — the town centre, Earl Street and Fremlin Walk, Maidstone East and West stations, Maidstone Hospital and every estate from Shepway to Allington. Our head office is on King Street, and the M20 runs along the north of the town at junctions 5, 6 and 7, which is where every airport run starts.
Why book Streamline
Streamline has been running taxis in Kent since 1938 — nearly 90 years of the same job, from a head office at 68 King Street in Maidstone. Airport work is not a sideline here; it is what most of the fleet does overnight.

Maidstone airport transfers FAQs.
Questions about a particular route — journey times, terminals, drop-off charges — are answered on that airport’s own page.
Which airport is quickest from Maidstone?
Gatwick — typically 50–70 mins for about 42 miles. Heathrow is next at 80–100 mins, and Luton is the longest run at 100–120 mins. Each route page above has the full picture: fares by vehicle, the route itself and what to allow at busy times.
How much is an airport taxi from Maidstone?
Fixed fares from Maidstone for a standard vehicle: Gatwick £71, Heathrow £101, Stansted £105, Luton £130. The fare is agreed at booking — outbound journeys add the airport’s own drop-off charge, and each route page shows fares for every vehicle class, including the first-app-booking price.
Where is Streamline based in Maidstone?
The head office is at 68 King Street, and Maidstone is where Streamline has run taxis since 1938. It is an office rather than a rank — your driver comes to you, wherever in the town you are.
How do I book an airport transfer from Maidstone?
Book in the Streamline app or call 01622 750000. You can book the outward and return journeys together or separately, and your fare is confirmed at the time of booking.
How far in advance should I book?
We run 24 hours a day, so there is no cut-off, but most Maidstone airport runs leave between 3am and 5am and those slots go first. Booking ahead is mainly about securing the vehicle class you want rather than getting a car at all.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Your driver monitors your flight in real time and adjusts to the actual landing time at no extra charge. You also have 60 minutes’ free waiting from when the flight lands, not from your booked time.
How does the return pickup from the airport work?
Your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall holding a Streamline name board and walks you to the car, so there is no car park to find. Airport parking on return journeys is charged separately, at the cost incurred on the day.
Which vehicle should I book for luggage or a group?
A standard vehicle seats up to 4, but four passengers with large cases will be tight — take an MPV instead. The 8-seater MPV and the Premium MPV (Mercedes V-Class) both carry up to 8, and the V-Class has the most luggage room. If you are not sure, call 01622 750000 before you book and we will tell you what fits.
What gets added to the fixed fare?
On outbound journeys, the airport’s own drop-off charge — it differs by airport, and each route page states the current one. On return journeys, airport parking at the cost incurred on the day. Different rates may apply on bank holidays, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Stansted and Luton journeys also cross the Dartford Crossing, which adds the £5.60 Dart Charge each way. Nothing else: there is no meter and no surge pricing.
