Dartford sits just outside south-east London in Kent, by the Thames crossing that bears its name. Gatwick is a run to the south-west and London City across the river. We run fixed-fare door-to-door transfers from Dartford, 24 hours a day, with flight tracking on arrivals.
By road distance, London City is usually the shortest run from Dartford, though the fastest journey on the day depends on traffic and which motorway corridor you take — a numerically closer airport can still be the slower option if it means crossing London rather than joining a direct route. Here is roughly how each of the six compares, in normal traffic:
London City — about 11 miles (25–45 min by road), to the east-south-east of Dartford.
Southend — about 29 miles (45–75 min by road), to the west-south-west of Dartford.
Gatwick — about 30 miles (40–65 min by road), to the north-east of Dartford.
Heathrow — about 35 miles (45–70 min by road), to the east of Dartford.
Stansted — about 35 miles (45–75 min by road), to the south of Dartford.
Luton — about 45 miles (60–95 min by road), to the south-east of Dartford.
Traffic around Dartford builds fastest on weekday mornings and early evenings, when commuters share the main approach roads with airport and local traffic. A journey before 8am or after 5pm on a weekday is when it is worth allowing extra time; outside those windows, and at weekends, the roads are usually calmer. Either way, our drivers build a buffer into every pickup so a slow patch of traffic does not turn into a rushed one.
On the day, your driver confirms the pickup point in advance so there is no last-minute searching, and for airport legs the flight is tracked so the car is ready whether you land early or late. Allow the usual airport routine either side of the drive itself: security and check-in on the way out, and passport control or baggage reclaim on the way in, both of which our free waiting allowance already covers.
Mentioning your group size and luggage at booking, rather than on the day, means we bring the right car from the start — a saloon for four passengers and two large cases, or an estate, MPV or 8-seater when there is more to carry. Expect more demand for this kind of journey around school holidays and summer, so a little lead time helps when it comes to booking the right vehicle.
Most Dartford bookings with us start as an airport transfer, but the same fixed-fare minicab and driver cover plenty more of your travel:

A wedding, night out or event transfer, planned to your schedule.
A car kept at your disposal with hourly hire.
A connection on to a cruise port or hotel.
Something sent rather than someone carried, with courier delivery.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
