What types of transfers does Chauffeurz offer in London?

Chauffeurz offers four main transfer categories in London and the UK: airport transfers (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City, Southend, plus private jet FBOs Farnborough and Biggin Hill, and long-distance Birmingham Airport), cruise port transfers (Southampton, Dover, Portsmouth, Tilbury, Harwich), London train station transfers (King's Cross St Pancras, Paddington, Victoria, Euston, Waterloo, Liverpool Street, Marylebone), and UK long-distance city transfers (Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and more). Every transfer is fixed price, includes Meet and Greet, and uses TFL-licensed chauffeurs.

How much does a London chauffeur transfer cost?

London chauffeur transfer prices start from £45 for the shortest London City Airport transfers and short station transfers, £75 for Heathrow to Central London Budget Saloon, £95 for Gatwick to Central London, £110 for Stansted to Central London, and £145 upwards for Southampton cruise port. Long-distance UK transfers start from £108 for London to Oxford Budget Saloon, £145 for London to Cambridge, £175 for London to Bath. All prices are per vehicle, not per passenger, and include VAT, Meet and Greet, 60 minutes free waiting at airports, and luggage handling.

Are Chauffeurz transfers fixed price or metered?

All Chauffeurz transfers are fixed price, agreed at booking and never changed. There is no surge pricing during peak hours, no metered fare, no hidden fees, and no traffic surcharge. The price you see when booking is the price you pay, whether the transfer takes 30 minutes or two hours due to traffic. VAT is always included.

How long does a Heathrow to Central London transfer take?

A Heathrow to Central London chauffeur transfer typically takes 45 to 60 minutes outside peak hours, and up to 90 minutes during rush hour or Friday afternoons. Journey times to The City of London, Shoreditch, or Canary Wharf add 15 to 20 minutes for cross-London traffic. Wimbledon and Richmond are the closest Central zones at 35 to 50 minutes.

Do Chauffeurz transfers include Meet and Greet?

Yes. Every airport transfer includes Meet and Greet inside the Arrivals Hall of your specific terminal, with your chauffeur holding a personalised name board with your surname. Cruise port arrivals include terminal-side pickup. Train station arrivals include concourse pickup at the exit gate. There is no additional charge for Meet and Greet on any Chauffeurz transfer.

What happens if my flight, train, or cruise arrives late?

For flights, your chauffeur monitors real-time IATA data and adjusts the pickup time automatically at no extra charge, whether the delay is 20 minutes or several hours. Sixty minutes of free wait time starts from actual landing. For cruises, we monitor arrival schedules from the cruise line, and pickup adjusts to actual disembarkation. For trains, we track the National Rail Enquiries data. You never pay for waiting caused by transport delays.

Can I book a round-trip or multi-leg transfer?

Yes. Round-trip bookings (for example Heathrow arrival, then Southampton cruise transfer after London stay) are straightforward and often qualify for a small discount. Multi-leg bookings for tours or events are managed by our reservations team — email contact@chauffeurz.london, WhatsApp +44 7466 712821, or call +44 (0) 203 826 4125 for bespoke itineraries.

Which vehicles are available for transfers?

Chauffeurz operates a 12-tier fleet suitable for every transfer type: Budget Saloon (Toyota Prius hybrid, Skoda Octavia — up to 3 passengers, 2 bags), Budget MPV (VW Touran, Peugeot 5008 — 6 passengers, 4 bags), Budget 8-Seater (Ford Tourneo Custom — 8 passengers, 6 bags), Executive Saloon (Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series), Executive MPV (Mercedes V-Class — ideal for Middle Eastern family travellers), First Class Saloon (Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series), First Class MPV (V-Class AMG Line), Luxury SUV (Range Rover Autobiography), Luxury Saloon (Bentley Flying Spur, Rolls-Royce Ghost or Phantom on request), and Senzati Jet Class (bespoke V-Class private jet interior). All vehicles are ULEZ compliant.

Is Chauffeurz available 24/7 for late-night or early-morning transfers?

Yes. Chauffeurz operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year including Christmas and New Year. There is no surcharge for early-morning, late-night, weekend, or bank holiday bookings unless a national bank holiday premium applies (declared at booking). International passengers arriving at 3am from long-haul flights receive the same Meet and Greet service as daytime arrivals.

In which languages can I book and communicate with my chauffeur?

The Chauffeurz website, phone reservations, WhatsApp, and customer service operate in 7 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, and Arabic. Individual chauffeurs are assigned by language preference where possible — particularly useful for American, Latin American, European, and Middle Eastern visitors who prefer to travel in their native language. WhatsApp is the preferred contact channel for Middle Eastern and Latin American clients. Specify language preference at booking.
