Maidstone Borough Council brands the town Kent's business capital, with real employers based at LOC8 Business Park off the M20 and the media companies at Vinters Business Park — a genuine source of regular Gatwick-bound business travel.
Detling's Kent Showground hosts the Kent County Show and a wide range of fairs and conferences year-round, bringing exhibitors and delegates through the area who often need group transport to and from Gatwick.
A family of five or six with a full set of luggage doesn't fit comfortably in a standard saloon — an 8-seater keeps everyone and everything together for a genuinely cross-county journey rather than splitting across two cars.
Bearsted, Boxley, Detling and Aylesford all send a meaningful number of residents into Maidstone or further afield for work, meaning regular Gatwick travel is common enough across these villages to justify an account arrangement.
A one-off business trip to Gatwick doesn't need an account — a standard booking with an invoice for expensing covers that. An account becomes worthwhile once travel becomes regular: a business with staff flying out for meetings every month, a company bringing international colleagues in through Gatwick on a recurring basis, or anyone who'd rather have one monthly invoice than repeated individual payments. The pricing itself doesn't change either way — the account is about billing convenience, not a different rate.
| What Matters for Regular Travel | Corporate Account | Booking Each Trip Separately |
|---|---|---|
| Billing | One invoice on agreed terms | Paid individually each time |
| Pricing per journey | Same fixed fare structure | Same fixed fare structure |
| Admin for frequent travellers | Set up once, use repeatedly | Re-confirmed every booking |
| Suitable for occasional trips | Better for regular use | Straightforward for a one-off |
An 8-seater minibus for a family holiday, a group of friends travelling together, or a delegation attending a Kent Showground event — priced per vehicle, not per passenger.
An invoiced account for businesses or individuals travelling to Gatwick often enough that repeat per-trip payment becomes unnecessary admin.
Corporate accounts don't pay a different rate to individual bookings — the same fixed-fare structure applies, just billed differently.
A full 8-seater minibus costs the same fixed fare as a lightly loaded one, so larger groups don't pay a per-person premium.

Security wait times, terminal navigation, and what to pack.
Our largest standard vehicle is an 8-seater minibus, suitable for larger families, small groups, or a delegation travelling together with luggage. For bigger groups, multiple vehicles can be arranged to travel together.
A corporate account is billed by invoice on agreed terms, rather than requiring payment at the time of each individual trip. Pricing stays fixed per route regardless of how frequently your business books.
Yes. We arrange group transfers to and from Gatwick for individuals or delegations attending Kent Showground events in Detling, and can plan pickup timing around known event-day traffic.
Priced per vehicle as a fixed fare, not per individual passenger, so a full 8-seater minibus costs the same whether it's carrying two people or eight, up to the vehicle's capacity.
Corporate account terms are agreed directly with the business, and can be scoped to Gatwick transfers specifically or extended to cover other regular local journeys, depending on what the account needs.
Yes, an invoice or receipt can be provided for individual business bookings as well as for corporate account billing, suitable for standard business expense processes.
