How to Book a Private Airport Transfer in London: Step by Step
Booking a private transfer takes a few minutes online. Here is each step, what information we need, and tips for getting it right.
Step 1: Your journey
On the booking form, enter where you are being picked up and where you are going – an airport, a hotel, a home address or a station. Add the date, the time and the number of passengers. For an airport pickup, use your flight’s scheduled landing time.
Step 2: Choose a vehicle
The form shows each vehicle with its fixed price: Economy and First Class Sedans for up to 4, vans for up to 6, minibuses for up to 16. Check the luggage limits – a sedan takes 3 suitcases, a Standard Van 4 and a First Class Van 5.
Step 3: Your details
- Lead passenger’s name and mobile number.
- Flight number, so we can track the flight.
- Child seats needed, with the children’s ages.
- Anything the driver should know.
Step 4: Return journey
Choose “Return” to book the journey back at the same time. Both legs are paid together, with a discount on the return leg.
Step 5: Pay
Pay online by card. Your booking is confirmed straight away, and the confirmation email is your receipt.
When to book
As soon as your flights are confirmed. At busy times – school holidays, early mornings, big events – booking ahead ensures the vehicle you want is available.
Changes and cancellations
If your plans change, contact us before the pickup. Flight delays need no action: we track your flight.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using the departure time instead of the landing time for pickups.
- Choosing a sedan for more than 3 large suitcases.
- Forgetting a mobile number that works in the UK.
