Help and answers

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we are asked most often about booking, paying, airport pickups, luggage and changing your plans. If you cannot find what you need, our team is happy to help.

Booking

How do I book a journey?

Get a quote on our website with your pickup, destination, date and time, choose your vehicle and book online. Our team checks every booking and confirms it by email, usually within 15 minutes.

Can I book for someone else?

Yes. Enter the passenger's name and mobile number in the booking details so the chauffeur can contact them. The confirmation can be sent to you as well.

Will I be told who my driver is?

Yes. Before your pickup we send you the driver's first name, their private hire licence number and the vehicle registration. Our safety page explains how to check them.

Prices and payment

How are your prices worked out?

Prices come from our published pricing for the journey, vehicle class and time of travel. Some popular routes, such as airport journeys, have fixed prices. We confirm the price before you travel.

What is included in the price?

Your quote is the fare for the journey and vehicle you choose, and lists anything added to it, such as airport parking. Waiting is free for 60 minutes at airports and 15 minutes at other pickups; after that it costs £0.50 a minute, charged in 5-minute steps. Meet and greet with a name board costs free where the airport or port offers it.

How do I pay?

At the moment you pay on the day of travel, by cash and bank transfer. Your confirmation shows the fare agreed before you travel. Online card payment is planned for the future.

Do you charge more at night or on public holidays?

Yes: 10% extra for pickups between 23:00 and 05:00, 20% extra on public holidays, and £10 extra when booked less than 4 hours before pickup. If a surcharge applies to your journey, it is already included in your quote, so there are no surprises.

Airports and flights

Do you monitor my flight?

Our team checks your flight status before your pickup, so we know about delays or early arrivals. Please give us your flight number when you book. This is a manual check by our team, not an automatic tracking system.

Where will my chauffeur meet me at the airport?

Where meet and greet is available and booked, your chauffeur waits in the arrivals area with a name board. Pickup arrangements for each airport are explained on its page.

How much free waiting time do I get at the airport?

Our standard free waiting time at airports is 60 minutes, and each airport page shows the time for that airport. After the free time, waiting costs £0.50 a minute, charged in 5-minute steps.

Which airports do you cover?

We cover all the main London airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City and Southend. See our airport transfers page for the full list.

Luggage and child seats

How much luggage can I bring?

Each vehicle class has a stated passenger and luggage capacity, shown on our fleet page and when you choose a vehicle. If you are unsure, choose a larger vehicle or tell us what you are bringing.

Can you provide child seats?

Yes, on request. Tell us the child's age and weight when you book so we can arrange the right seat. Availability is confirmed with your booking.

Can I bring a pushchair, golf clubs or skis?

Usually, yes. Please mention large or unusual items in your booking notes so we can make sure the vehicle has room.

Changes and cancellations

Can I change my booking?

Yes. Contact us or use the manage link in your confirmation. Changes to time, route or vehicle may change the price, and we will confirm any change with you.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancelling is free at least 24 hours before pickup, 50% of the fare between 12 and 24 hours before pickup, and the full fare less than 12 hours before pickup. The full details are in our cancellation policy.

What happens if I miss my pickup?

If we cannot find or reach you once the free waiting time is over, the booking may be treated as a no-show, and the charge is the full fare. Please keep your phone on and tell us about any delay as soon as you can.

Accessibility

Can you help passengers with reduced mobility?

Yes. Tell us about any mobility needs when you book, including folding wheelchairs or walking aids, so we can suggest a suitable vehicle and allow extra time. Assistance dogs are always welcome.

Do you have wheelchair-accessible vehicles?

Please contact us before booking to discuss your needs. We will tell you honestly what we can arrange for your journey.

Still need help?

Our full cancellation policy and booking terms set out the detail behind these answers. For questions about a particular airport or port, visit our airport transfers or cruise port transfers pages. To see what each vehicle can carry, look at our fleet. And if you would like to speak to someone, our contact page has every way to reach us.
