Book NowRobertsbridge is a village in the Rother district of East Sussex, not Kent, sitting in the Rother Valley on the edge of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Robertsbridge station is on the Hastings line, with direct trains to London Charing Cross and London Bridge as well as south to Etchingham, Battle and Hastings, but it has no taxi rank — a pre-booked private hire car is the reliable way to travel to or from a train here. The village is also where the historic line to the Kent & East Sussex Railway is being reconnected: a new station building opened at Robertsbridge Junction in 2026, though the heritage passenger service doesn't yet run through to Bodiam or Tenterden. The A21 runs through the area, connecting north toward Tunbridge Wells and the M25 and south to Hastings, about 12 miles away.
There's no taxi rank at Robertsbridge station, so a pre-booked private hire car is the reliable way to travel to or from it. Tell us which train you're on, whether you're arriving from London, Hastings, Tonbridge or further afield, and we'll be waiting when you arrive.
Uber doesn't reliably operate in this part of rural East Sussex, so a pre-booked private hire taxi is the practical way to get around Robertsbridge and out to nearby villages and attractions.
Robertsbridge is a genuine East Sussex village, and most of our local work here is a private hire taxi to or from the station, or a run out to Bodiam Castle, about 4 miles south, which has no direct bus connection from the village. We also cover everyday trips around Robertsbridge and the short hop to Hurst Green and Etchingham.
There's no real difference for you as a passenger — "private hire" just means a pre-booked car rather than a street hail, which is how taxis work in Robertsbridge anyway, since there's no rank in the village. Call or WhatsApp us, agree a fixed price, and we'll be there at the time you ask for.

We agree a fixed price with you before you travel, so any applicable airport charges are already factored in — no meter, no surprises. Worth knowing: as of September 2026, Gatwick's own forecourt drop-off charge is a minimum of £10 for the first 10 minutes, up from £7 in January 2026 — that's separate from our fare and only applies if you're being met by someone driving in themselves.
Robertsbridge is around 45 to 50 miles from Gatwick Airport, usually a 60 to 75 minute drive via the A21.
