Airport pickups across Paddock Wood
A small town with a mainline station, an A228 motorway start and its own 01732 service area.
The A228 does the early work
From Paddock Wood the A228 does the early work, lifting every airport run onto the motorway network. Gatwick is the shortest at about 40 miles (50–70 mins); Heathrow, Stansted and Luton run between 64 and 78 miles. Fares are fixed for all four before you travel, whichever way the traffic leans.
Early departures
Airport work runs around the clock from the Paddock Wood service area. Tell us the flight time and we plan the pickup back from it — for early departures, booking the evening before secures the vehicle class you want.
Local pickups
Our Paddock Wood service area (01732 505050) makes pickups genuinely local — the station on the mainline, the Eldon Way and Transfesa Road estates and the Green Lane side of town. From there the A228 lifts every airport run straight onto the motorway network.

Paddock Wood 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 Paddock Wood?
Gatwick — typically 50–70 mins for about 40 miles. Heathrow is next at 75–95 mins, and Luton is the longest run at 105–125 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 Paddock Wood?
Fixed fares from Paddock Wood for a standard vehicle: Gatwick £80, Heathrow £105, Stansted £115, Luton £140. 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.
Does Paddock Wood have its own Streamline base?
Paddock Wood and Tonbridge form one Streamline service area on 01732 505050 — pickups are genuinely local, while the company’s head office remains at 68 King Street in Maidstone.
How do I book an airport transfer from Paddock Wood?
Book in the Streamline app or call 01732 505050. 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 Paddock Wood 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 01732 505050 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.
