Who uses hotel transfers?
Hotel transfers cover more journeys than you might think. Visitors fly in and need to get to a hotel in central London. Wedding guests stay in a hotel near Crystal Palace and need getting to the venue and back. Local residents book an airport hotel the night before a very early flight. Business travellers move between an office, a hotel and a station several times in a week.
In each case, the need is the same: a car that turns up when it should, knows where it is going and charges a price agreed in advance.
Airport to hotel transfers
If you are arriving at Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton or London City and staying in a hotel, give us your flight number and the hotel address. The driver tracks your flight and, with meet and greet, waits in arrivals with your name. You go straight from the plane to your hotel door without needing to understand the tube map after a long flight.
For departures, we collect you from reception and take you straight to your terminal. Tell us the terminal when booking, especially at Heathrow and Gatwick, which have more than one.
Staying at an airport hotel before a flight
For a 6am departure, many people in SE19 prefer to spend the night before in an airport hotel. We can take you there the evening before, avoiding the rush-hour drive the next morning. From Gipsy Hill, an evening run to a Gatwick hotel is often a quick drive once the rush hour is over, and Heathrow hotels are a longer trip across the South Circular.
Local hotels around Crystal Palace and Norwood
There are hotels and guest houses around Upper Norwood and Crystal Palace, often used by people visiting family or attending weddings and events in the area. If you are staying locally, we can take you anywhere in London during your stay and bring you back at any hour.
Hotel to station and hotel to venue
Hotel transfers also include trips to the main London termini, such as King's Cross for Eurostar or Paddington station, as well as trips to wedding venues, conference centres, restaurants and theatres. For group events, our 7 seater taxi can move several guests at once.
Tips for visitors to London
If you are new to London, a few points will help. Keep your hotel's full address and postcode handy, as several hotels share similar names. Allow extra time in the late afternoon, when traffic in the centre is at its slowest. If you are arriving on a late flight, check that your hotel's reception is open or that you have check-in details, so you are not left outside at midnight. We can also take you between hotels if you are moving during your stay, or on to a station for the next part of your trip.
What makes a good hotel transfer
- A fixed fare agreed before the journey, in pounds.
- A driver who arrives on time and knows the hotel's entrance.
- Flight tracking for airport pick-ups.
- Card or cash payment, and a receipt for expenses on request.
- Help with luggage from the kerb to the hotel door.
If you are planning a trip, start with our Heathrow transfers or Gatwick taxis. You can see our other minicab services, and we collect from West Norwood and the surrounding area.
