Canterbury is the seat of the Church of England: its UNESCO-listed cathedral presides over a walled city of medieval streets that drew pilgrims for centuries. A Zonetransfers chauffeur is ready in Gatwick arrivals (whichever terminal you use) and takes the road to Canterbury from €155 per car.
The drive from LGW to Canterbury covers about 109 km, or 1 h 15 min without stops. Your Zonetransfers price starts at €155 for the vehicle and up to four travellers, with no meter running.

After UK Border Force and baggage reclaim, walk into the arrivals hall: your chauffeur is at the barrier with your name. Early or late, we follow the flight and adjust the pick-up.
If the chauffeur is not visible, wait by the arrivals exit and phone the helpline on your booking. WhatsApp +34 654 381 547 is answered too.
