For an airport run with luggage the MPV taxi (a 7-seater people carrier) is the most-booked class after the saloon; for business travel the executive chauffeur car (Mercedes E-Class, from £344) or a Mercedes S-Class chauffeur on request; for seven or eight passengers an 8-seater taxi (from £374) or 9-seater minibus (from £359).

The journey, and where we pick up and drop
Pick-up in Cardiff is at your door, whether that is the town centre, a Cardiff village or a business park; the driver is named the day before and texts on arrival. At the airport end we drop at the compact terminal in the Docklands, ideal for business flights. Returns are met in the small arrivals hall and out on the A13 within minutes.
At 160 miles this is a 3.8-5.3 hrs drive in normal conditions. Roadworks and rush hour are the driver’s problem, not yours: the fare is fixed either way.
London City Airport to Cardiff: the return leg
London City Airport to Cardiff is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. For an airport or station pick-up we track the flight or train, meet you at the agreed point and include waiting time, so a delay never changes the price. Book both legs together and the return is 1.8 times a single; if plans change, one message moves the booking.
