Getting around Gravesend, Northfleet and the villages
Gravesend is a compact town with a busy station, a working riverfront and a lot of housing that ride-hail apps ignore after dark. We treat DA11 and DA12 as home ground: Northfleet, Perry Street, Denton, Chalk, Singlewell, Istead Rise and Meopham are all covered at local prices.
Gravesend station
From £6 within town. Southeastern services to London Bridge, Charing Cross and Cannon Street, plus the high-speed link to St Pancras via Ebbsfleet. We drop on the Rathmore Road side by the entrance.
Gravesend–Tilbury ferry
From £6 to the Town Pier for the passenger ferry across to Tilbury. If you would rather stay dry and go by road, a car through the Crossing to Tilbury cruise terminal is from £38.
Ebbsfleet International
From £10. Faster than the bus and often quicker than driving yourself and parking. Seventeen minutes into St Pancras once you are on the train. See our Ebbsfleet taxi page.
Bluewater
From £14 to any car park entrance at Bluewater. Late cinema showings and Christmas shopping runs are the busy ones – pre-book the way back. Our Bluewater taxi page explains the pickup points.
Hospitals
Darent Valley (DA2) from £16, Medway Maritime in Gillingham from £28, and the London teaching hospitals by quote. Regular dialysis and outpatient runs can be set up as a standing booking.
Cyclopark and schools
Cyclopark on the A2, Gravesend Grammar, St George's, Mayfield and the Meopham schools. Drivers on school work are DBS-checked and child seats are provided free when requested.
Airport and cruise transfers from Gravesend
Gravesend sits at the eastern end of our patch, which changes the sums a little compared with Dartford. Gatwick is from £80 and Heathrow from £105 because there is an extra ten miles of A2 before you reach the M25. Dover, on the other hand, is closer – from £75 via the A2 and M2 straight down to the Western Docks.
- Heathrow – from £105, 70 to 100 minutes. We usually go A2, M25 anticlockwise and M4, or through Blackwall and along the A4 at quiet times. The £6 terminal drop-off is included. See Heathrow transfers.
- Gatwick – from £80, 55 to 80 minutes down the M25 to Junction 7 and the M23. North or South terminal is the same price. See Gatwick transfers.
- Stansted – from £90 over the QEII bridge and up the M11. See Stansted transfers.
- Luton – from £100 via the Crossing and the M25. See Luton transfers.
- London City – from £55, often under an hour through the Blackwall Tunnel or along the A13. See City Airport transfers.
- Dover cruise terminal – from £75 to Cruise Terminal 1 or 2 at the Western Docks. See Dover cruise transfers.
- Southampton – from £160 to Ocean, City, Mayflower, QEII or Horizon terminal. See Southampton cruise transfers.
Every airport collection comes with flight tracking and 45 minutes of free waiting after your plane lands. If you want the driver in the arrivals hall with a name board, ask for meet and greet when you book – a small extra applies.
Where we pick up around Gravesend
Our Gravesend work covers the two town postcodes and the villages on every side. If you are unsure whether your address counts as local, send it with your quote request and we will price it honestly.
- DA11 – Gravesend town centre, Northfleet, Rosherville, Perry Street, Painters Ash, Coldharbour and the Ebbsfleet Garden City developments.
- DA12 – Milton, Denton, Chalk, Singlewell, Riverview Park, Kings Farm and out to Shorne and Higham.
- DA13 – Meopham, Istead Rise, Culverstone and Vigo.
- DA10 / DA9 – Swanscombe and Greenhithe, on the way to Bluewater.
- DA1 / DA2 – Dartford and Darent Valley, where we are based. Our Dartford taxi page has the full local list.
- ME2 / ME3 – Strood, Cliffe, Hoo and the peninsula villages, priced as short out-of-area runs.
Cars for Gravesend jobs are normally already in the area or on the A2 between Dartford and Northfleet, so a same-day booking is usually fine. For anything before 6am, or for airport runs, please book the day before so we can assign a named driver and send you the vehicle details.
Cars available for Gravesend bookings
Tell us the passenger and bag count when you book and we match the vehicle. A saloon takes four people and two large cases; an estate adds a third and fourth case for cruise luggage. The 6-seat MPV is the usual choice for a family airport run and costs roughly a quarter more than the saloon. The 8-seat minibus takes a full group with all their luggage for around half as much again – see group transfers.
For business travel from the Gravesend and Ebbsfleet office parks we have executive Mercedes E-Class and V-Class cars, with account billing on a single monthly invoice. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles can be arranged with notice – details on our accessible taxi page. All vehicles are licensed private hire, fully insured and driven by DBS-checked drivers who know the town.
Why pre-booking beats an app in Gravesend
Try requesting a car in Chalk or Istead Rise at 4am and you will see the problem with apps outside London. Drivers are scarce, cancellations are common, and the price you were shown is not the price you end up with when the surge kicks in.
- Our fare is fixed when you book and stays fixed. Rain, roadworks on the A2 or a closure at the Crossing do not change it.
- A named driver is assigned in advance, so an early flight is not left to chance.
- Drivers know the town: which side of Gravesend station to drop on, how to avoid the one-way system on market day, and when the QEII bridge is likely to be shut for wind.
- You can pay by card or cash with no surcharge, or on account if you are a business.
- Someone answers the phone at any hour on 020 8888 9988 and can change a booking on the spot.
We are a Dartford firm rather than a Gravesend one, and we are open about that. In practice it means cars are usually on the A2 heading your way rather than parked outside a rank, and the pricing is the same you will find on every one of our pages.
