Whitstable to Gatwick taxi FAQs.
How much is a taxi from Whitstable to Gatwick Airport?
A standard vehicle is £105, plus the £10 Gatwick drop-off charge on outbound journeys, or £100 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.
