Splitting a family or travelling group across two or three separate taxis to the airport usually means staggered arrival times, duplicated luggage stress and a fare you can't predict until the meter stops. A single minibus solves all three: one pickup time, one vehicle, one fixed price agreed before you travel — and if your inbound flight runs late, we already know, because we're tracking it. Our vehicles and drivers are licensed by Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council, and every airport pickup is pre-booked, not street-hailed.
From £105 (saloon/estate) + £5 pickup/drop-off. Minibus quoted by group size.
From £140 (saloon/estate) + £5 pickup/drop-off. Minibus quoted by group size.
From £155 (saloon/estate) + £5 pickup/drop-off. Minibus quoted by group size.
From £190 (saloon/estate) + £5 pickup/drop-off. Minibus quoted by group size.
From £180 (saloon/estate) + £5 pickup/drop-off. Minibus quoted by group size.

For groups of 6 or more travelling to the same airport, one minibus is almost always cheaper than booking multiple separate taxis, since you pay for one vehicle and one driver rather than two or three.
No — 17 seats and above moves into small-coach/minicoach territory, not minibus. Our fleet covers 8 and 16-seat minibuses; for larger groups we can advise on coach hire options or split your party across two minibuses.
Yes. Under UK rules, any vehicle with 9 to 16 passenger seats is legally classed as a minibus, not a car or MPV.
