Bookings and cancellations

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking as soon as possible (ideally right after confirming your flight and hotel) to guarantee availability. We do not accept bookings with less than 12 hours of notice prior to the service for logistical reasons.

Are there discounts for booking a round trip?

Yes, the system automatically applies a £5 discount when you request a round trip airport transfer in the same booking.

We arrive and depart from different airports. How do I book a round trip?

By definition, a round trip transfer requires the origin and destination to be the same for both journeys. If you enter and leave London through different airports, you must make two separate one-way bookings.

Can I book a different vehicle for each journey?

If you need a different type of vehicle for the outbound and return journeys, you must make two separate one-way bookings.

Can I make a booking for someone else?

Yes, that is not a problem. Just make sure to enter the contact details (name and phone number) of the person who will be traveling. You can use your own email address to receive the confirmations and payment receipts to make your management easier.

What pickup time should I provide?

From the airport: Provide the scheduled landing time exactly as it appears on your ticket (it is always in local London time). We will calculate the necessary time to pick you up.

To the airport: Provide the time you want the private driver to pick you up at your accommodation. We recommend scheduling the pickup at least 3 hours before your flight departure (or more if you are traveling during rush hour or to Southend).

How long does it take to travel between the airports and Central London?

Travel times are estimates and can vary depending on the day, the time, and the traffic. Please use them as a guide:

  • Heathrow: ~50 min
  • Gatwick: ~1h 30 min
  • Stansted: ~1h 20 min
  • Luton: ~1h 10 min
  • London City: ~50 min
  • Southend: ~1h 45 min
How can I modify my booking?

You can edit your basic information by accessing My Bookings, as long as it is more than 24 hours before your transfer. If you need to change the date, the type of vehicle, or if it is within 24 hours of your trip, you must contact us directly by email or phone.

Can I change the number of passengers or luggage?

Yes, from your dashboard you can adjust the passengers (as long as you do not exceed the maximum limit of the vehicle you already paid for). If due to the change you need a larger vehicle, contact us to manage the upgrade.

What is your cancellation policy?

You can cancel from your user dashboard at any time. Our refund system is as follows:

  • More than 24 hours notice: 100% full refund. We offer free cancellation.
  • 12 to 24 hours notice: Full refund minus £10 for operational management fees.
  • Less than 12 hours notice: No refund, as the vehicle is already blocked and on route.
What happens if I do not show up for the service?

If the driver arrives at the pickup location and the passenger does not show up (No-Show) or notify us of the absence within the established waiting times, the service will be considered completed and there will be no possibility of a refund.

Destinations and tours

The website does not recognize my destination address, what should I do?

We use Google Maps to autocomplete addresses. If the system does not find yours, leave it blank and type it manually in the next step of the booking.

Tip: If you are going to a hotel, type its name directly. If you are going to an apartment, it usually fails if you include the floor or door number; simply entering the street name, building number, and zip code is enough.

My accommodation is outside Central London, is there a surcharge?

For addresses outside the central area, a distance surcharge may apply. If there is one, we will inform you of the exact cost when we review your request. If you do not agree, you can cancel the booking and you will receive a full refund instantly. If you prefer to ask us before booking, contact us.

Can we make intermediate stops?

Yes. All additional stops carry a small surcharge. When requesting the booking, we will calculate the route and inform you of the final cost. If you do not agree, you can cancel with a full refund.

My flight has a layover and I need to travel between airports, can you take me?

Of course. We offer direct connections between all London airports. You can check the fixed prices and book from our home page.

Do you only offer airport transfers?

No, we can take you anywhere as long as the origin or destination is London. We frequently travel to the Harry Potter Studios, Legoland, Peppa Pig World, or the Southampton cruise port, as well as tours to Oxford, Cambridge, Stonehenge, or Windsor. Contact us for a custom quote.

Can I book a vehicle with a private driver by the hour?

Yes. We offer vehicles at your disposal with a minimum service of 3 hours. During that time, the vehicle and the private driver will be entirely at your disposal to make any stops you need. Request a quote without obligation.

Vehicles and luggage

What type of vehicles do you have?

Our fleet includes standard sedans (up to 4 passengers), minivans (up to 5 passengers), vans (up to 8 passengers), and Executive/Premium class vehicles. Note: The driver does not count as a passenger.

What if we are a group of more than 8 people?

We accept online bookings for groups of up to 16 people. The system will automatically assign the number of vans needed. If you are more than 16, you will need to make several separate bookings.

Is there a luggage limit?

The only limit is the physical size of the trunk of the vehicle you book. During the booking process, we give you a rough idea of how many suitcases fit in each category. If you have any doubts or special luggage, contact us before booking.

Why can I only travel with carry-on luggage in a minivan when we are 5 passengers?

Minivan vehicles (for example, Volkswagen Sharan, Ford Galaxy) have a large trunk for 4 passengers. However, to accommodate additional passengers, the rear seats must be unfolded. These seats are located in the trunk area, so using them drastically reduces the available luggage space.

We only allow a maximum of one carry-on bag per person for groups of 5 passengers in these vehicles. Large checked suitcases simply do not fit.

Can I travel with my pet?

Yes, as long as they travel in their standard carrier and it is not an airport pickup. You must let us know when booking so we can assign a suitable vehicle.

Why not at airports? UK regulations require animals to pass through very strict external customs checks (taking 3 to 4 hours) in buildings far from the passenger terminals, which makes standard pickup logistics impossible.

Can I bring a wheelchair?

We currently do not have vehicles with adapted ramps. However, if you can transfer to a car seat (alone or with the help of your companions) and your wheelchair is foldable, we will be happy to carry it in the trunk. Please let us know in the booking and choose a vehicle (such as a minivan or van) with enough space for the wheelchair and your luggage.

Traveling with children

We are traveling with children or babies, do you have child seats?

In the UK, the law allows children to travel without child restraint systems in licensed vehicles (like ours), as long as they travel in the back seats. Children over 3 years old must use the adult seat belt.

As a courtesy, we can provide a maximum of 1 booster seat per vehicle for free, subject to availability, if you request it when booking. We do not provide infant car seats (Maxi-Cosi).

If we cannot guarantee the booster seat, we will notify you the day before and you will be able to cancel without penalty if you do not agree.

Can I hold my child in my arms so they do not take up a seat?

No. It is illegal to exceed the vehicle capacity. Babies and children count as one seat exactly like an adult. You can hold them in your arms if they are under 3 years old, but they still take up a seat.

Can minors travel alone?

No. It is strictly forbidden by law for minors under 18 to travel in our private vehicles without the supervision of an adult passenger.

Can I bring my own baby stroller on the transfer?

Yes, it counts as standard luggage as long as it can be folded and fits in the trunk of the selected vehicle. Make sure to book a vehicle with enough capacity if you are traveling with a stroller plus several suitcases.

Can I install my own child seat in your cars?

Yes, all our modern vehicles feature standard 3-point seat belts and ISOFIX anchors so you can secure your own seat quickly and ensure your baby travels with maximum safety.

Prices and payment

How can I see your rates?

Enter your origin, destination, and date in the search engine on our home page and click on "View prices" to get an instant quote.

Do prices vary depending on the number of people?

No. You pay for the entire vehicle, not per seat. The price only varies based on the type of car you need.

Does the price change if there is traffic or the trip takes longer?

Unlike conventional taxis or Uber, our prices are fixed. They do not vary based on the route the driver takes, nor will you pay more if you get stuck in a traffic jam. What you see when booking is exactly what you pay.

How do I pay for the booking?

Payment is made in advance at the time of booking, through our secure gateway. We accept VISA and Mastercard, and you can choose to pay in Euros or British Pounds.

Do you issue invoices?

Of course. Once the service is completed, you will be able to download your official invoice or receipt by accessing the My Bookings dashboard on our website.

Do I have to tip the driver?

Tipping is never mandatory and is not included. However, if you feel the service was excellent, you are completely free to leave a cash tip for the driver.

What language does your support center speak?

We offer support in English and Spanish. All official communications, emails, WhatsApp messages, and emergency phone lines are operated by our bilingual staff to ensure you get the help you need.

Will I know who the driver is before traveling?

Yes. The day before your transfer, you will receive an email with the name, photo, license number, and direct WhatsApp contact of your driver, along with the model and license plate of the assigned vehicle. All this information will also be available on your web dashboard.

During the trip

What happens if my flight is delayed? Do I need to notify you?

All our drivers monitor flight radar screens in real time. If your flight is delayed, they will adjust the pickup automatically. Still, we appreciate it if you send us a WhatsApp message if you find out before taking off.

  • Delays of less than 3 hours: Your transfer is 100% guaranteed at no extra cost. The free waiting time will start upon landing.
  • Delays of more than 3 hours: For operational reasons, the transfer will be automatically canceled without a refund. In this case, you will need to claim the cost from your airline (according to Air Passenger Rights) and make a new booking with the new time.
What happens if my flight is canceled by the airline?

Let us know as soon as possible. Our standard cancellation policy will apply based on the time of the notice. We will provide you with any necessary documents so you can request a full refund from your airline or travel insurance.

What happens if I miss my flight on my own?

The transfer will be canceled, applying the penalty for a "No-Show" or last-minute cancellation. If you require transportation on the next flight, you will need to make a new booking.

What happens if my flight lands early?

If your flight arrives early, the agreed pickup time will still be based on the original scheduled time. Drivers have a very tight previous schedule and we cannot guarantee that they will arrive earlier than initially agreed.

How long will the driver wait for us at the airport?

The driver will wait for you at the terminal completely free of charge for up to 60 minutes after the plane touches down.

After those 60 minutes, an extra parking surcharge of £15 will apply for the next 30 minutes, and £20 for each subsequent half hour. If 90 minutes pass and you have not made contact or answered the phone, the driver will leave and the service will be considered completed.

Where does the driver wait for us and how do we identify them?

At the airport: The driver will enter the Arrivals Hall about 30 minutes after landing. They will be holding a sign or tablet with your name.
*Exception (Luton): Due to Luton Airport restrictions, the pickup takes place at the official "Pick Up Point" (a 4-minute walk away).

At hotels or private addresses: They will be waiting in the lobby or reception of the hotel, or right at the door of the address if there is safe parking.

Do you have a phone number for emergencies on the day of travel?

Yes. In addition to the driver's personal contact, 24 hours before your trip you will receive the phone numbers for our emergency line (and WhatsApp), ready to help you with any urgent issues on the spot.

Other questions

Absolutely. We are certified operators under the strict transport laws of London. All vehicles and drivers have their corresponding transport licenses, inspections, and public liability insurance for travelers. Plus, we are backed by thousands of real customers on both Tripadvisor and Google Reviews.

Do you offer shared shuttle services?
