Why Choose a Taxi Over Train?
There's no direct train from Folkestone to Gatwick—it requires changes through Central London. For Eurotunnel passengers with luggage, a private taxi is far more practical.
train
Train: Folkestone → Gatwick
Limited National Express services via Victoria. Total: 3-4 hours, £18-28pp. Multiple changes with luggage is stressful and time-consuming.
directions_bus
Coach: Folkestone → Gatwick
National Express via Victoria. Total: 3-4+ hours, at least 1 change. Very slow and impractical after a long journey from France. Completely impractical for airport transfers.

“Brilliant service from Folkestone city centre to Gatwick South Terminal for our flight to Malaga. Driver arrived at our hotel at our hotel at 5am and had us at the airport in just over an hour. So much easier than dragging suitcases through Central London on trains. Will definitely book again for every holiday.”

“Booked a taxi from the Creative Quarter after a wonderful weekend exploring the galleries and Harbour Arm. Driver collected us from our B&B and the journey via the M20 was smooth. Executive car was immaculate and comfortable. Arrived at Gatwick North with plenty of time for our flight to Barcelona.”
— Karen L., Creative Quarter to Gatwick North

“Family of four from Sandgate heading to Gatwick for our annual holiday. Estate car had loads of room for all our luggage. Being collected from our front door at 3am for a 6am flight was brilliant—much better than struggling with public transport at that hour. Smooth journey down the motorway in just over 2 hours.”
