Ticehurst Taxi Service offers safe and reliable transport to and from Wadhurst, Tonbridge, and Tunbridge Wells stations. Whether it's a business trip or a family holiday, our drivers aim for a comfortable, on-time journey any time of day or night. We regularly run transfers from Ticehurst to Wadhurst Station, Tunbridge Wells Station, Tonbridge Station, and central London, and back again — timed so you don't miss your train.
For airport transfers, we cover Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, and London City, with a fixed fare agreed before you travel, so there's no meter running and no surprise charges when you land. Cars are well maintained and drivers are experienced with the routes out of the High Weald, so delays caused by unfamiliarity with local roads aren't something you need to worry about.
We're based in Ticehurst and run daily, so you're not booking through a call centre in another county. Licensing details are available on request when you book.
Ticehurst itself sits in postcode district TN5, within the civil parish of Ticehurst in the Rother district of East Sussex (OS grid reference TQ689302), inside the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Over a decade running the same routes — Ticehurst to Wadhurst station, Tunbridge Wells, and the major airports — means fewer wrong turns and better-judged departure times.
Standard saloon for everyday trips, executive cars for business travel, and minibus for weddings or group airport runs — one call covers all of it.

Booking ahead is worth it, especially for early flights — it can mean a better rate and one less thing to worry about before you travel.

Not usually — Ticehurst is a rural village with limited rideshare driver coverage, so wait times and surge pricing are common here. Our airport fares are fixed and agreed before you travel, with no surge multiplier, so the price you're quoted is the price you pay, even at 4am on a bank holiday.
Tipping isn't required or expected, but it's always appreciated for good service — many passengers round up the fare or add around 10% for a longer airport run. Since our fares are fixed and agreed upfront, any tip is entirely at your discretion and separate from the quoted price.
