Questions before you book
Booking and general
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We monitor your flight and adjust pickup arrangements for delays. Please contact us if your flight is cancelled, diverted or changed so we can confirm your updated pickup details.
Where will I meet my driver at Heathrow?
Your meeting arrangement is confirmed when you book. Depending on your booking, your driver will meet you inside arrivals with a name board or at an agreed pickup location. Check your confirmation and contact us if you need help.
Are there any waiting charges?
Your pickup includes 15 minutes of free waiting, starting at your agreed pickup time. Charges apply after that at the rate confirmed before you book.
How can I pay?
We accept cash and online payment. Please confirm your preferred payment method and any payment instructions when booking.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Please call us as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel your booking. We’ll confirm your options and any applicable charges before proceeding.
What’s the difference between a minicab and a black cab?
A minicab is a licensed private hire car that you book in advance, with the price agreed before you travel. A black cab can be hailed in the street and charges by the meter. Minicabs can’t be hailed, so every journey is pre-booked.
Prices and what’s included
Can I see a price online?
Yes. Book Online gives you an instant estimate for your route and vehicle. Fares vary by route, date, time, vehicle, stops, waiting, parking and airport charges. Once your booking is confirmed, the price is fixed.
How is the price of a Heathrow transfer worked out?
The price depends on the time, day and route of your journey. Once your quote is confirmed, the price is fixed: there’s no meter, so traffic doesn’t change the fare.
What’s included in the price?
Waiting, parking and any extras are covered as agreed in your quote. The Heathrow drop-off charge isn’t part of the journey price; it’s added to your quote so you see the full cost before you book.
Can I book my return journey at the same time?
Yes. Give us both dates and times when you book and we’ll arrange your journey to Heathrow and your pickup when you land.
Can you guarantee the journey time to Heathrow?
No, journey time cannot be guaranteed because traffic, roadworks, terminal access and airport processing times can vary. We plan your collection around your flight details and recommend allowing a comfortable margin.
Heathrow pickups
Do you monitor my flight for a Heathrow pickup?
Yes. We monitor your flight and adjust your pickup for delays. If your flight changes, contact us too so we can confirm your updated pickup details.
How long will my driver wait at Heathrow arrivals?
Your pickup includes 15 minutes of free waiting, starting at your agreed pickup time. Waiting after that is charged at the rate confirmed before you book.
What should I do if I can’t find my driver?
Stay in a clearly signed spot in arrivals and call 020 8569 4040 or message us on WhatsApp. Tell us your terminal and the nearest landmark so we can guide you to your driver.
Will my driver hold a name board?
Depending on your booking, your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall with a name board, or at a pickup point agreed when you book. Your confirmation shows which applies.
What details do you need for a Heathrow pickup?
Send your flight number, arrival date, terminal if known, destination address, passengers, luggage and mobile number. These details help us confirm the meeting arrangement and suitable vehicle.
Do Heathrow pickup instructions differ by terminal?
Yes. Terminal layouts differ, so your booking confirmation gives the final meeting point for Terminal 2, 3, 4 or 5. The terminal guides are useful for planning, but your confirmed instructions come first.
Is Heathrow pickup parking confirmed before I book?
Yes. Any applicable parking or waiting charge is covered as agreed in your quote, so you can see the full arrangement before you book.
Heathrow drop-offs
Is the Heathrow drop-off charge included?
The Heathrow drop-off charge isn’t part of the journey price. It’s added to your quote, so you see the full cost before you book.
When will you collect me for my flight?
Tell us your flight time and terminal when you book, and we’ll agree a collection time planned around your flight. Your driver collects you from your door at that time.
Can you take me to Heathrow for an early-morning flight?
Yes. We run 24/7, so we can collect you for early-morning and late-night departures to Heathrow Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Why don’t you publish exact Heathrow drop-off journey times?
We don’t publish exact journey times because traffic, roadworks, terminal access, time of day and extra stops can change the journey. Your collection time is planned around your flight details when you book.
Which vehicle should I book for a Heathrow drop-off with luggage?
Tell us your passenger count and luggage before booking. We’ll help match the journey to a saloon, estate, MPV or executive car depending on the bags and passengers.
What if my departure terminal changes after I book?
Contact us as soon as your terminal changes. We’ll update the journey details and confirm the correct Heathrow drop-off arrangement.
Heathrow terminals
Which Heathrow terminals do you cover?
We cover all four passenger terminals at Heathrow: Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5, for both arrivals and departures.
Does my meeting point depend on my terminal?
Yes. Your meeting point is confirmed for your terminal when you book: inside arrivals with a name board, or at an agreed pickup point.
What if my terminal changes?
Contact us as soon as you know, on 020 8569 4040 or WhatsApp, and we’ll update your pickup or drop-off details.
Are the terminal guide meeting points my final pickup instruction?
No. The terminal guide gives useful public meeting information, but your booking confirmation is the final instruction for where to meet your driver.

Can I bring a pushchair, golf bag or other bulky item?
Tell us about pushchairs, golf bags or anything oversized when you book, so we can choose a vehicle with room for it.
Can every car carry its full passenger and luggage limits at once?
Not always. The figures are a guide, not a guarantee that every maximum fits at the same time. If you’re close to the limits, choose the next size up or two vehicles.
