Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to book ahead?

No, but booking ahead means a fixed price. Walking up to the rank means a metered black cab that costs more if traffic is bad.

Are tolls and charges included?

Yes. Fixed fares include tolls, the Congestion Charge, and ULEZ. Everything is in the price.

What if my flight is delayed?

With a fixed-price booking, the driver tracks your flight and waits for free. You never pay extra for delays.

Will a driver meet me in arrivals?

Yes. A pre-booked driver will have your name, meet you with a name board, and help with luggage.

Is there surge pricing?

No. With a fixed fare, the price never changes no matter what time you arrive or how busy the airport is.

Is a fixed fare cheaper than Uber?

It's more predictable. Uber can be cheaper off-peak but surges during busy times. Fixed fares are always the same price.
