Expect possible waiting for other passengers, one suitcase and one carry-on per person, and traffic-sensitive journey times.

“The driver was great. Very patient with both the traffic and dealing with issues. I wouldn’t book this service again as we had to wait over 30 minutes while the other party dealt with their booking issues and another 49 minutes getting out of the traffic near their hotel. It took us 5 hours from landing to get to our hotel.”

That is when I received a call from the office saying that our driver was going to be late. I should have received a call or text LONG before this. Our driver was wonderful and made the rest of the experience great.”

The second ride was awful. the car was VERY dirty, inside and out, the man was rude and kept saying that we didnt pay for the correct terminal at LHR and that really, he shouldnt take us at all. Even though in the purchase of this, we were never asked for our terminal (only flight number) and the confirmation calls never asked for the terminal either. Then, we went about 20 miles per hour only until the man got in a road war with a BMW then it was fast and the furious until they separated exits, then it was back…”
