Which vehicle for Cardiff to London?
Most passengers on this route book a saloon; families and groups with luggage take the 7-seater MPV taxi; for business travel the executive chauffeur car (Mercedes E-Class, from £329) or a Mercedes S-Class chauffeur on request; for seven or eight passengers an 8-seater taxi (from £359) or 9-seater minibus (from £344). Every vehicle on the Cardiff to London run is TfL-licensed private hire — a pre-booked minicab with a fixed fare, not a metered cab. See the vehicle size guide for luggage capacity.
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 London end we drop at any London address: a hotel, an office, a family door in the suburbs. Give us the postcode and the fare covers the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where they apply.
Allow 3.5-5.0 hrs for the 151-mile drive. For an early flight or a fixed train we build in a buffer and confirm the pick-up time with you.
London to Cardiff: the return leg
London 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.
