Express Taxis

Maidstone is the base for Express Taxis, a transportation company that combines local rides with prearranged trips elsewhere in Kent and to London’s major airports. Its Upper Stone Street address is in the center of town, where it coordinates journeys for residents, travelers, and groups with different transportation needs.

For everyday trips, the company serves Maidstone and nearby towns. Its fleet is also used for airport transfers, business travel, and bookings for special occasions. Customers who prefer to plan ahead can book online, by phone, or through the Express Taxis app, which lets them enter pickup and drop-off locations and choose a vehicle.

The app adds an upfront confirmed fare, real-time driver tracking, card payment, and the option to pay in cash on arrival. It also accepts advance bookings. For transfers to Gatwick, Heathrow, London City, Luton, and Stansted, the company advertises fixed fares and flight tracking so pickups can be adjusted when arrival times change.

The vehicle fare and fees set by each airport are shown separately: terminal drop-off and collection charges are not part of the Express Taxis fare. The company says tolls and parking are included in its fare and that, after landing, the driver waits 90 minutes at no charge; after that, an additional fee applies for each 15-minute interval. These terms help travelers estimate the full cost of a transfer, particularly when a flight is delayed.

The service goes beyond standard taxi trips. Executive and VIP vehicles are available for corporate travel and celebrations, along with minibuses and coaches for weddings, excursions, group airport transfers, and school transportation. Groups of nine to 16 passengers are arranged through a direct quote, allowing the company to confirm a suitable vehicle and account for luggage.

Maidstone is the starting point, but the company’s published coverage extends across 27 towns in Kent. Areas it highlights include Aylesford, Kings Hill, Malling, Snodland, and West Malling, as well as Medway, Ashford, and Canterbury. That reach makes it possible to book either a local ride or a longer transfer with one provider, although the vehicle and price depend on the route and group size.

Round-the-clock availability is useful for early departures, late arrivals, and trips best booked in advance. The app can track the driver and handle payment, while the website supports fare quotes and reservations. For a special trip or a larger group, the company asks customers to agree on the details beforehand; separate airport fees are added when applicable.
