Dorking and the Mole Valley
A Dorking taxi from XLNC Cars is chauffeur driven, booked for a set time and priced before you travel, 24 hours a day. We collect from any of the town’s three stations, from homes and from Box Hill and Denbies Wine Estate, and we run the airport journeys: Gatwick is 15 miles away, typically 30–45 minutes, with the flight tracked both ways.

What we cover
Dorking sits where the A24 crosses the A25 under the North Downs, with Gatwick closer than Heathrow. That shapes the work: airport pick-ups, station runs and the hills. These six bookings come up most.
Gatwick 15 miles, Heathrow 31, London City 51. Flights tracked on the way in, pickup times set for the hour on the way out.
Dorking for Victoria, Waterloo and Horsham; Dorking Deepdene and Dorking West for the North Downs Line to Guildford, Reading and Redhill. Give us the train and we meet it.
Executive and VIP cars for meetings, client visits and corporate days, with one driver kept for the day where the diary needs it.
Walkers dropped at the National Trust centre at the top of the Zig Zag Road and collected at the bottom, so nobody has to climb back to the car.
Guests to and from the wine estate, the country house hotel on the Guildford road and the National Trust house at Great Bookham, with the ride home booked.
Comedy, talks and films at Pippbrook House on Reigate Road while Dorking Halls is shut for refurbishment (planned to reopen in mid-December 2026), dinner in town, then a car at the agreed time rather than a walk home up the hill.
Who books it
Dorking is about 21 miles from London and has three stations, but the airport, the Downs and the evening out all start at the door. These are the three Dorking passengers we see most.
Holiday and business flights where a drive of 30–45 minutes from the door beats carrying the bags to Deepdene for the train, and the return is met in arrivals whatever time it lands.
Visitors to Mole Valley District Council at Pippbrook and to the businesses in the town centre, and local executives who want one chauffeur for a day of meetings in London or along the M25.
Walkers for Box Hill and Leith Hill, wedding guests at Denbies Wine Estate, and an evening out in town with the drive home already arranged.
Fixed fares
One figure for your exact journey, told to you before you book, and no meter in the car. We do not print a tariff, because a run from Deepdene to the High Street and a run to Stansted have nothing in common except the driver.
The Dorking pickup, the destination, the car class and the hour: a Gatwick run and a Holmwood hop are different jobs. A return leg or waiting is added only when you ask.
A slow climb to M25 Junction 9, a diversion on the A25 or a flight that lands behind schedule changes the pickup, not the fare.
Card or cash, paid to the driver. Businesses that book often can be invoiced instead.
Pickups and routes
Dorking sits south of the North Downs, so anything heading for the M25 leaves by the A24 past the cockerel on the Deepdene roundabout and joins M25 Junction 9 at Leatherhead. Gatwick is the other way. These are the main pickups and runs.
Dorking, Dorking Deepdene or Dorking West. Name the station and the train, and the driver is on the forecourt when it arrives.
Dropped at the visitor centre or the estate on the London Road, collected again at the time you agree.
The neighbouring towns, collected door to door on the same booking line; Leatherhead sits on the A24 on the way up to Junction 9.

How it works
Use the form on this page, send a WhatsApp message or ring the booking line, which is answered at every hour of every day. From there it is the same four steps.
Pickup in Dorking, destination, date and time, plus the flight number or train if there is one.
Standard Saloon, Executive, VIP and Minibus. One fixed figure for the class you choose, confirmed before you travel.
At your door, on the station forecourt or inside arrivals at Gatwick with a name board.
Luggage handled at both ends, the A24 or the A25 as the day dictates, and nothing extra to pay when you get out.
Questions
Yes. The booking line is answered day and night, every day of the year, and Dorking is inside the area we cover from our Woking office. A pre-dawn run to Gatwick and a late collection after an evening in town are booked the same way, with the fare fixed when you book rather than read off a meter at the end.
Yes. Every car we send has a professional driver; what you choose is the class. Standard Saloon is the everyday Dorking taxi, Executive and VIP are the chauffeur cars for business travel, client pickups and occasions at Denbies Wine Estate or Wotton House, and the Minibus takes a group with luggage. Booking and the fixed fare work the same way for all four.
15 miles, typically 30–45 minutes by road, which makes Gatwick the closest of the airports we serve from Dorking. Both terminals are covered. For Heathrow and the airports to the north we leave on the A24 and climb to M25 Junction 9 at Leatherhead.
Yes, as a single return or two separate bookings. On the way out we set the pickup time for the hour you travel; on the way back we track the flight, meet you in arrivals at the North or South Terminal and the fare does not change if you land late.
Any of the three. Dorking, which National Rail also calls Dorking Main, has trains to London Victoria, London Waterloo and Horsham. Dorking Deepdene is a few minutes’ walk from it and Dorking West is on the far side of town; both are on the North Downs Line between Reading, Guildford, Redhill and Gatwick. Tell us which one and the train time, and the driver is there when it arrives.
Anywhere in the town or the villages around it: your home, a hotel, a business or a landmark. Dorking station, Denbies Wine Estate and Box Hill are regular pickup points, and we also collect from Leatherhead, Reigate and Box Hill, Westcott, Brockham, Westhumble and the Holmwoods.
We quote one fixed fare for your exact journey before you book, set by the pickup, the destination, the vehicle class and the hour. There is no meter and no surge pricing, and we do not publish a tariff because a station hop and a run to Stansted are different jobs. Message the journey to us on WhatsApp, put it in the form, or ring 01483 310310.
All of the London airports and the south-coast ones. The nearest are Gatwick (15 miles), Heathrow (31 miles), Farnborough (34 miles); we also run to Luton, Stansted and Farnborough, and to Southampton Airport and the Southampton cruise terminal.
Yes. Dorking Community Hospital on Horsham Road for clinics and outpatient appointments, and two A&E hospitals within reach, East Surrey Hospital at Redhill and Epsom Hospital, both booked at a fixed fare with waiting time if you want the same driver to bring you home.
The cars
A clean car and a licensed driver in the class you book. Standard Saloon for the station and the town, Executive or VIP when it is business or an occasion, and a Minibus when there are more of you or more bags for Gatwick.
Send us the pickup, the destination and the time. One fixed fare comes back with a confirmed, chauffeur-driven car. Deepdene for the morning train, Box Hill on Sunday and Gatwick at dawn are all booked this way.
