If you think you lost an item in one of our cars, contact us and one of our back office staff will be glad to assist you.
What is the waiting time included in the price?
The driver will wait up to 10 minutes free of charge for any London location while for the airports the free of charge waiting time is 30 minutes
After 10 minutes free of charge waiting time you will be charged £4.5/15 min. If the driver is unable to contact you or you do not contact the driver, he may leave after 10 minutes.
Do you accept cash bookings?
Due to the high volume of cash bookings being last minute canceled or with customer no-show, we do not take cash bookings.
How do you do the airport pick-ups?
We monitor the flights and if there are flight delays we dispatch the driver accordingly. The driver will call the customer 15 minutes after the landing and agree on a meeting point. If the driver cannot contact the customer or the customer does not contact the driver or our office, he will enter to meet the customer on the arrival hall, 45 minutes after the flight has landed.
