Before travelling, we recommend carefully reviewing your booking confirmation. Common issues that can delay airport collections include:
Incorrect flight arrival dates
Incorrect passenger numbers
Insufficient luggage capacity selected
Ensuring your details are accurate allows your chauffeur to plan your arrival precisely.
Once you land, please switch on your mobile phone. Your chauffeur may contact you directly to confirm the meeting location or advise of any terminal-specific updates.
If you experience delays at immigration or with baggage collection, a brief WhatsApp or SMS message to your chauffeur is sufficient. Contact details are included in your confirmation email.
Should you be unable to reach your chauffeur, our operations team is available on +44 20 8050 4954.
