This page collects the questions we are asked most often. If yours is not here, call us on 020 3642 5921 or send us a message. Each of our route and service pages also has its own questions, for example the Heathrow taxi page covers terminals and flight delays in more detail.

Booking

You can book with the form at the top of any page, by phone, or by email. For same-day trips, phoning is the safest option. For airport runs, booking a few days ahead gives you the best chance of getting the exact car you want, especially at school holiday peaks.

When you book, have ready your pickup and drop-off addresses, the date and time, the number of passengers, how many bags you have, and any flight or train number.

Prices and payment

Every trip has a fixed fare agreed at the time of booking. The fare depends on distance, vehicle type and time of travel. If you change the journey, for example by adding a stop or extra waiting, we will confirm any change in price with you before it applies. You can pay by card or cash.

Vehicles and luggage

We run saloons, estates, executive cars, 6 seater MPVs and 7/8 seaters. As a rule of thumb, a saloon suits up to four people with light luggage, and an estate suits the same number with more cases. Groups and families with lots of luggage usually need a 6 seater or 7 seater. Please tell us about oversized items such as bikes, golf bags or buggies. If you are not sure whether something will fit, describe it when you book and we will tell you honestly which car you need.

Airports and stations

We run to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City, and to all the main London rail terminals. For airport pickups we track your flight, and you can book meet and greet so the driver waits in arrivals. Each airport and station page on our website gives typical journey times from Tolworth and tips for that terminal. When you book a pickup from a station, tell us the train you are arriving on and where it is travelling from.

Children and pets

Child seats are available on request. Tell us each child's age when you book. If you are travelling with a pet, see our pet friendly taxi page and let us know when booking so a suitable car and driver are sent.

If something has gone wrong with a booking, or you have left an item in one of our cars, call us or email us with the date, time and pickup address of your journey. We will look into it and reply. Our contact page has full details.

All questions

How far ahead should I book?

For local trips, a call on the day is often fine. For airport runs and larger cars, booking a few days ahead is best, and further ahead in school holidays.

Is the price fixed?

Yes. We agree a fixed fare when you book. It does not change because of traffic. If you change the journey, we confirm any new price first.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Card and cash.

Are you open 24 hours?

Yes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays.

Do you track flights?

Yes. For airport pickups we track your flight and adjust the pickup time if it lands early or late.

What is meet and greet?

The driver waits for you in the arrivals area rather than in the car, so you do not have to find the car park on your own. Ask for it when you book.

Can you supply child seats?

Yes, on request. Tell us the age of each child so we can bring the right seat.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, as long as you tell us when you book, so we can send a suitable car. Assistance dogs are always carried.

How many passengers can you take?

Our largest cars are 7/8 seaters. For bigger groups we can send more than one car.
