North & South Terminal
LGW — what to expect
Gatwick Airport (LGW) has two terminals — North Terminal and South Terminal — connected by a free inter-terminal transit. There is no price difference between terminals. If you are unsure which terminal your airline uses, your driver has the knowledge to check and will get you to the right one. Dropping off, Gatwick charges £10 for up to ten minutes at the terminal zones and £1 a minute after that, which we add to outbound fares at cost. Coming home there is no drop-off charge — your driver meets you inside arrivals with a name board, waits up to 60 minutes free from the actual landing time, and airport parking is charged separately at whatever it comes to on the day.

Book your returnMost Maidstone runs to Gatwick leave between 3am and 5am, because a great many Gatwick departures go before 8am and check-in wants you there two or three hours earlier. At that time the M20 and M25 are clear and the run is at the quick end of the range; from about 6am the M25 between the M26 and the M23 starts to fill, and the same journey can take half an hour longer. We book to the flight, not the clock, so tell us the departure time and we will work back from it.

Maidstone to Gatwick taxi FAQs.
How much is a taxi from Maidstone to Gatwick Airport?
A standard vehicle is £71, plus the £10 Gatwick drop-off charge on outbound journeys, or £66 plus the drop-off charge on your first journey booked in the app. Premium cars and MPVs have their own fixed fares — see the fare panel above. On return journeys, airport parking is paid on the day instead of the drop-off charge.
What vehicle should I book for passengers and luggage?
A standard vehicle seats up to 4, but four passengers with large cases for a long-haul flight will be tight — take an MPV instead. The 8-seater MPV and the Premium MPV (Mercedes V-Class) both carry up to 8 passengers, and the V-Class has the most luggage room. The Mercedes E-Class seats up to 4 in a premium car. If you are unsure, call 01622 750000 before you book and we will tell you what fits.
How long does Maidstone to Gatwick take?
The route covers approximately 42 miles, following the M20 westbound, joining the M25 at junction 5, then heading south on the M23 directly into Gatwick, and normally takes 50–70 minutes. Allow longer during peak congestion — your driver monitors live traffic and picks the fastest route on the day.
Is the fare fixed?
Your fare is confirmed when you book, with no meter and no surge pricing. Different rates may apply on bank holidays, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. The Gatwick drop-off charge is added on outbound journeys; return journeys add airport parking, paid on the day.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Your driver monitors your flight in real time and adjusts to the new landing time at no extra charge. You also have 60 minutes’ free waiting from when the flight lands.
Where will I meet my driver at Gatwick Airport?
Your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall, holding a Streamline name board, and walks you to the car. Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, and we confirm yours from your flight, at no price difference. You have 60 minutes’ free waiting from when the flight actually lands.
How do I book a Gatwick-to-Maidstone return journey?
Book your return in the Streamline app or call 01622 750000. You can book the outward and return journeys together or separately. Return airport parking is paid on the day.
What time should I leave Maidstone for a morning Gatwick flight?
Work back three hours from departure for a short-haul flight and add the journey. Before 6am the run is usually 50 minutes; from 6am onwards the M25 between the M26 and the M23 can add 20 to 30 minutes, so we build that in rather than hoping.
Which way does the driver go from Maidstone to Gatwick?
Normally the M20 westbound, the M26, then the M25 round to the M23 and straight into the airport. If the M25 is badly queued the driver may come off earlier and run down through the A22, which is slower on distance but often quicker on the day.
