Why Book With Ashford Premier Taxi
Plenty of drivers cover the road between Ashford and Maidstone, but not all of them offer the same level of consistency. Here is what makes a dedicated local taxi firm different from a generic ride hailing app:
- Local drivers who know the Kent backroads. If the M20 or A20 gets busy, they already know a faster way round.
- Clear, upfront fares. You will not be hit with surge pricing just because it's raining or it's rush hour.
- Clean, well kept vehicles. Choose from saloons all the way up to spacious people carriers.
- Meet and greet service. Handy for train stations, hospitals, and business meetings.
- Corporate accounts. Great for businesses that need regular transfers between Ashford and Maidstone.
What the Journey Looks Like
Most journeys run along the A20 towards the M20 motorway, passing near Charing and Lenham before reaching Maidstone. On a normal day this is a simple 25 to 30 minute ride. During the school run or on a busy Friday evening, it's worth allowing an extra 10 to 15 minutes. Our drivers keep an eye on live traffic and will switch to a quicker back road automatically if the motorway is jammed, so you're never left watching the clock.
How Much Does It Cost
Fares depend on the time of day, the type of vehicle you choose, and whether you need any extra stops along the way. Here's a simple guide to help you pick the right car for your trip. For an exact price, use our live booking system below.
