Frequently asked

Quick answers.

  • Driver waits at the arrivals exit with a name board. For terminals where the meet point varies (multiple arrival exits or separate short-stay parking), we'll text you the exact pickup location 15 minutes before your scheduled landing.
  • We track your inbound flight from departure. Pickup time auto-shifts forward or back to match actual landing. Up to 60 minutes of free waiting is included on every arrival; beyond that, additional waiting bills at £20/hr in 15-minute increments.
  • Yes — London City's drop-off zone fee is baked into your quoted fare. You see the all-in price at booking. We don't pass through airport surcharges as a separate line item; the quote you accept is the price you pay.
  • Fixed-fare routes are published for high-demand transfers from our Southampton hub. The fare overrides per-mile pricing on the published route — same price every day, every weather, every time of night. Other London City pickups still quote upfront on per-mile.
