Terminals we cover

  • Main Terminal

Where your driver meets you

Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, unless your confirmation says otherwise. The terminal is small, so you will not have far to look.

Waiting time. Your driver waits up to 60 minutes from the time your flight actually lands. Give us your flight number and we follow the flight, so a delay to the flight itself will not normally result in waiting charges. Need longer? Tell us and your driver will stay, at £5 per 15 minutes. See our cancellation and waiting policy for full details.

A quick airport

London City is compact, and passengers usually get from the aircraft to arrivals faster than at the larger London airports. Keep your phone on as you land, so your driver can reach you if needed.

For the City and Canary Wharf

Canary Wharf is a few miles west of the airport and the City a little further, which makes London City the natural choice for a day trip or a meeting. Central London as a whole is typically 35 to 60 minutes away, depending on traffic.

Travelling for work regularly? Corporate customers can be set up under a separate account agreement — ask us about corporate travel.
