KB CARS · KENSINGTON W8
Kensington (W8) to Gatwick airport transfers Your address to your terminal
Pre-book a private-hire pickup from your Kensington address to Gatwick. Request a journey-specific quote; our 24-hour office can help you choose a vehicle for your party and luggage.
Your journey, your quote
A fare based on your booking
Your quote reflects the pickup address, terminal, date and time, vehicle and any agreed extras, rather than a generic W8 airport tariff. Request a quote online or call 020 8870 8888; no app installation is needed.
Both Gatwick terminals have charged drop-off forecourts. Ask the office to confirm the total and whether the airport drop-off charge is included before you book.
Plan your departure
From your Kensington address to Gatwick
Plan a pickup and airport arrival that suit your flight and your party.
Set your airport arrival target
Tell the office your flight details and when you want to reach the airport for check-in. Confirm North or South Terminal so your drop-off is planned for the right destination.
Choose for people and bags
Give the full passenger count and describe your cases, pushchairs or other bulky items. The office can help you choose a vehicle for the combined load, not just the number of seats.

Private hire from your door, or rail to Gatwick
A pre-booked car starts at your Kensington address, with your party and luggage travelling together. For rail, Southern connects Gatwick with Clapham Junction and Victoria, while Gatwick Express runs between Victoria and Gatwick.
These are airport-end connections, not direct trains from every Kensington station. Plan your local leg and interchange with your luggage. Gatwick station is at South Terminal; the free inter-terminal shuttle connects it with North Terminal.

KB Cars has operated since 2008. Tell the office your addresses, flight details, passengers and luggage when arranging your journey.
GOOD TO KNOW
Kensington to Gatwick transfer FAQs
Answers for planning and confirming your departure.
Can I be picked up from my address?
Yes. Your pre-booked private-hire journey starts at the address you give us, rather than at a station mentioned in the rail comparison.
Provide the full address and postcode, entrance and any additional stops so the office can arrange the journey you need.
How do I choose a vehicle for my luggage?
Choose for the passengers and luggage together, not the seats alone. A saloon is a starting point for a lighter load; an estate offers more luggage space, while an MPV is an option for a larger party.
Give the office the numbers and sizes of suitcases and cabin bags, plus any pushchair, folding wheelchair or unusual item. Mini Van and Luxury options are available by enquiry.
When is my transfer booking confirmed?
Your booking is confirmed when KB sends confirmation by SMS and/or email. An enquiry, quote or payment alone does not confirm a car.
