Most of what we do is simple to describe: we drive people between London and its airports. Around that core sits a handful of related services that follow naturally from it, because travellers rarely need only one leg. A conference guest lands at Heathrow, needs a car to a hotel in Knightsbridge, spends two days in meetings across the City and flies home from London City. A family sails from Southampton and wants to be collected from their front door in Richmond. Each of these is still one journey after another, but planning them together makes each one easier.
This page sets out each service, who it suits, and what to tell us when you book so the car and the chauffeur fit the trip.
What is included in an airport arrival?
An arrival includes flight tracking, a chauffeur waiting inside the terminal with your name on a board, help with your bags, and a fixed fare that does not change if your flight is late. You give us the flight number; the chauffeur watches the flight on the day and times their walk into the hall around your actual landing.
International arrivals take longer than people expect. Between the aircraft door and the arrivals hall there is a walk, passport control, baggage reclaim and customs, and on a busy morning at Heathrow or Gatwick that can take more than an hour. Your chauffeur allows for it. If you are held up, a short message saves both of you worry, but it is not required: the chauffeur will still be there.
How do departures work?
For a departure, the chauffeur collects you at the agreed time, loads the car, and takes you to the kerb outside your terminal. We work backwards from your flight time and the airport to suggest a pickup time, allowing for traffic, check-in and security.
As a rough guide for daytime travel from central London, we suggest leaving three hours before a long-haul flight and two and a half hours before a short-haul one, and adding time for Friday afternoons and the start of school holidays. London City is the exception: its compact terminal means you can usually leave later. If you have a lounge booking, special assistance or a large amount of luggage to check in, mention it and we will adjust the time.
What is meet and greet?
Meet and greet means your chauffeur comes into the terminal to find you rather than waiting in the car. It is the standard way we collect arriving passengers, and it matters most when you are travelling with children, carrying a lot of luggage, arriving in London for the first time, or landing late at night.
The chauffeur holds a board with your name, or with a company name if you prefer not to have your own name displayed. For VIP guests or corporate visitors, tell us the name to show and how the passenger would like to be greeted. Some travellers want the chauffeur to take their bags at once; others would rather push their own trolley. A line in the notes box settles it.
Do you drive to cruise ports?
Yes. We run to Southampton, Dover, Portsmouth, Harwich and the London International Cruise Terminal at Tilbury, from anywhere in London and directly from the airports. Many cruise passengers fly into Heathrow or Gatwick and head straight to the ship, and a single booking can cover that.
Cruise transfers carry more luggage than any other journey we make. Formal wear, two weeks of clothes and a few bottles bought on board fill a car quickly, so we usually recommend a larger vehicle than you would book for a flight. Tell us your ship and the terminal if you know it; Southampton alone has several cruise terminals spread along the docks, and the right one saves a long walk with cases.
Can you meet private and business jets?
Yes. We collect from and deliver to the business aviation terminals at Biggin Hill, Farnborough and RAF Northolt, and the private jet centres at Luton, Stansted and London City. At these airports the car often goes closer to the aircraft, and timings are tighter because there is no queue to absorb delays.
Tell us the handling agent or FBO, the tail number if you have it, and the planned landing time. The chauffeur will arrive early and wait at the terminal building. Discretion comes as standard: no name board unless you ask for one, and no conversation about who is travelling.
Do you handle business travel and events?
Yes. Companies use us for visiting clients, board members and staff travelling to and from London, and event organisers use us to move speakers and guests between airports, hotels and venues. For groups, we can arrange several cars arriving together or send one larger vehicle.
If you book regularly, tell us how you would like journeys arranged: who books, who receives confirmations, and how invoices should be addressed. We can hold passenger preferences, such as a preferred car or a note that a guest does not want conversation during the drive, so you do not have to repeat them each time.
Can I hire a car and chauffeur by the hour?
Yes. For a day of meetings, a shopping trip, a wedding or a series of stops across London, you can keep the same car and chauffeur for a set number of hours. The chauffeur waits between stops, so your bags stay in the car and you are not searching for a ride after each appointment.
Hourly hire works best when you give us a rough outline of the day: the first pickup, the main stops and where the day ends. Plans change, and that is fine, but a sketch of the day lets us choose the right car and tells the chauffeur where to park nearby.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Can I book a journey that combines an airport and a cruise port?
Yes. Many passengers fly into Heathrow or Gatwick and go straight to the ship. Book it as one journey from the airport to the port and add your flight number and ship name.
Do you offer accounts for companies?
Tell us about your travel pattern through the contact page and we will explain how regular bookings, confirmations and invoicing can work for your organisation.
Can the chauffeur hold a board with a company name instead of my name?
Yes. Write the name you want displayed in the notes box when you book. Many business travellers prefer this.
Is meet and greet an extra charge?
Choose meet and greet when you book if you want the chauffeur to come into the terminal, and the price you see will include it. There are no surprise charges on the day.
Can I change a booking after it is confirmed?
Yes. Reply to your confirmation email with the change. If it alters the journey, for example a different address or a larger car, we will confirm the new price before anything changes.
