Fares & Journey Times · Ramsgate Airport Transfers
Fixed airport taxi fares from Ramsgate, quoted for your address
There is no meter and no fare table to decode. You enter your Ramsgate pickup, the airport and the car, and the booking system shows a fixed fare for the whole car, not per passenger. Once you confirm, it stays the same unless the journey itself changes.
Pegwell, Cliffsend, Ebbsfleet, Minster, Monkton and Manston work the same way. The typical journey times and the cars you can choose from are set out below.

Fixed before you book
Enter your Ramsgate address and airport in the online booking system and the fixed fare for the car appears straight away. The fare is confirmed with your booking.
What never changes it
The fixed fare does not change for traffic, roadworks or a diversion, or for early mornings, late nights, weekends and bank holidays.
What can be added
Waiting beyond the free time; extra stops not in the booking; big route changes asked for during the journey; car parking fees or tolls on the journey, where they apply. We tell you before anything is added wherever we can.
Waiting at the airport
Free for 45 minutes for international flights and 30 minutes for domestic flights, counted from the actual landing time. After that, waiting is charged at our standard waiting rate, which we give you when you book or on request.
Flight tracking, meet and greet
We track your flight from take-off to landing and time the collection to the actual landing, at no extra charge. Included on every airport collection: your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board and helps with your luggage to the car.
Child seats
Available on request; tell us the child's age when you book.

What can change the fare, and what cannot
The fixed fare does not change for traffic, roadworks or a diversion on the A299 or the M25, and there is no extra charge for a 4am start, a late-night landing, a weekend or a bank holiday.
Some things can be added: waiting beyond the free time, extra stops that were not in the booking, big route changes asked for on the way, and car parking fees or tolls on the journey where they apply. The Dartford Crossing, on the usual route to Stansted and Luton, is charged between 6am and 10pm.

Pickups across CT11 and CT12
By the Royal Harbour, Military Road along the inner marina is not an adopted public road, so we agree the exact pickup spot when you book. On the East Cliff the seafront road is the B2054: Madeira Walk, Wellington Crescent and Victoria Parade.
If you would rather meet the car at a station, Ramsgate station is at the top of the town near St Lawrence, and Thanet Parkway is between Ramsgate and Minster, near Cliffsend, with a paid car park. At home, the driver waits up to 10 minutes after the agreed time at no charge.

Terminals, arrivals and flight delays
Tell us your terminal when you book. Gatwick has a North and a South Terminal, linked by a free shuttle that takes about two minutes; Heathrow has four terminals, so the right one matters.
For the journey home, we track the flight and time the collection to the actual landing, with no extra charge for delays outside your control. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, and free waiting is 45 minutes after an international flight and 30 after a domestic one.
