London taxi
& transfer

Get London Transfer is a TfL-licensed private hire operator based in London, providing fixed-price taxi and chauffeur transfers across the capital and connecting London with every major city, town, and transport hub in the United Kingdom. We have operated continuously since 2000, hold a 4.9-star rating across 2,150-plus verified customer reviews, and were named Best SME Transport Provider at the 2026 UK Transport Awards by SME News magazine. Every vehicle in our fleet is fully insured, MOT-current, and operated by a vetted, English-speaking, DBS-checked driver who knows London and the wider UK road network intimately. Every fare is agreed at the point of booking — no meter, no surge pricing, no traffic surcharges, no late-night extras, no weekend premium, no airport pickup fees beyond what is published, and no hidden costs of any kind.

The premise of our service is straightforward. London transport is among the busiest and most complex in the world, and most people who need to move through it — for work, for travel, for family, for events — want one thing above all: certainty. Certainty about the time, certainty about the price, certainty about the vehicle, certainty about the driver. Public transport offers schedule certainty in good conditions but loses it the moment something goes wrong: an underground line shuts, a station evacuates, a strike is called, a connection is missed, a flight lands at 03:00, a meeting overruns, the rain becomes a flood. Standard private hire and rideshare offer vehicle availability but no price certainty: the meter ticks up, surge multiplies, the route is whatever the algorithm chooses, and on long journeys to airports or out of town the final figure can be double the estimate. We sit between these two — we offer the convenience of a private car with the price certainty of a published fare, and we operate twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year, including Christmas Day and New Year's Eve, with no premium for unsocial hours.

Our work falls into four categories of equal importance to the business: London airport transfers across Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, and London City Airport (and to or from any of the regional UK airports for connecting passengers); intercity transfers linking London with cities the length of England from Carlisle to Cornwall, and increasingly into Scotland and Wales; corporate and chauffeur services for businesses, professional services firms, embassies, and senior executives who need predictable, presentable, security-screened transport; and events and group travel covering sports, concerts, weddings, conferences, theatre nights, race meetings, and city tours. Most of our business comes through repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals. We do not advertise on rideshare platforms, we do not subcontract to gig drivers, and we do not pad out our quotes to allow room to undercut at the negotiation stage. The price quoted is the price paid.

A London taxi service that operates across the full price and vehicle range serves a wider customer base than any one sector might suggest. Our typical bookings come from business travellers moving between meetings, hotels, airports, and out-of-town offices, often with multiple stops in a single journey; families heading on holiday with luggage that won't fit in a standard saloon and prefer a single fixed price to the cost of multiple Underground or rail tickets plus the friction of changes; international visitors arriving at Heathrow or Gatwick who want a confirmed driver waiting with a name board rather than the queue at the rideshare pickup; elderly and mobility-restricted passengers for whom Underground stairs and platform changes are not viable; corporate accounts running monthly account billing across multiple users; wedding parties needing coordinated, presentable vehicles between venue, reception, and accommodation; theatre and event groups heading to West End venues, Wembley, the O2, or Twickenham; and professional services firms moving partners and clients between Mayfair, the City, Canary Wharf, the law courts, and Heathrow at all hours.

We also serve a steady stream of long-distance customers for whom intercity rail does not work — typically because of one of three things. The first is luggage: more than two large cases, sports equipment, instruments, samples, exhibition materials, or any combination that doesn't fit comfortably through ticket barriers and overhead racks. The second is timing: pre-dawn departures before the first train, post-midnight arrivals after the last, journeys that need to slot precisely around a flight time without margin for connection delays, and Sunday-engineering weekend disruption that turns a 2-hour journey into a 5-hour replacement-bus marathon. The third is the value calculation for two or more travellers: when four people travel together, a fixed taxi fare often matches or beats four full-price walk-up rail tickets, with the added benefit of door-to-door pickup at both ends.

Our drivers are trained to handle each of these scenarios. They wear plain dark suits or business-casual depending on the booking type. They carry name boards for airport pickups. They are briefed in advance on luggage requirements, child-seat needs, mobility considerations, and any specific timing requirements. They communicate by SMS or WhatsApp with the passenger on the morning of travel, confirm pickup readiness, and message again at the destination. We treat every booking — whether £35 or £450 — as a professional transaction in which we are accountable for the outcome.

We run a tiered fleet so that you pay for the journey you are taking rather than being upsold into more car than you need. Most people don't need an S-Class to get to Heathrow with two cases — but the people who do need an S-Class need one that is presentable, recently valeted, and driven by someone in a suit. Below is the full range. All prices are fixed at booking. All vehicles include luggage handling, complimentary bottled water on executive and chauffeured tiers, mobile phone chargers in every category, and free WiFi in MPV and chauffeured tiers.

The saloon tier is built around the Toyota Prius, Skoda Octavia, and Hyundai Ioniq — efficient, comfortable, hybrid or electric where possible, and configured for two passengers comfortably or four at a push. The executive tier centres on the Mercedes E-Class, with leather interior, climate control, and the noise insulation that makes a 2-hour intercity journey actually restful. The MPV tier uses Ford Galaxy, Volkswagen Sharan, and Citroën Space Tourer models with proper boot space rather than the cramped "MPV" that some operators substitute. The 8-seater tier is the Mercedes Vito or Ford Tourneo, and the luxury MPV is the Mercedes V-Class with rear captain seats, swivelling chairs, and tinted privacy glass for executive group travel. The chauffeured S-Class sits at the top: Mercedes S-Class long-wheelbase with complimentary water, newspapers on request, suited driver, and a presentation standard suitable for greeting a chairman, a head of state, or a bride.

Our coverage of London is exhaustive. We pick up and drop off in all 33 boroughs across Greater London and the City: Westminster, Camden, Islington, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Lewisham, Greenwich, Bexley, Bromley, Croydon, Sutton, Merton, Kingston-upon-Thames, Wandsworth, Lambeth, Southwark, Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea, Brent, Ealing, Hounslow, Richmond-upon-Thames, Harrow, Hillingdon, Barnet, Enfield, Haringey, Waltham Forest, Redbridge, Newham, Barking & Dagenham, Havering, and the City of London itself. We hold knowledge of the road networks across all of these — the one-way systems in Soho, the controlled-zone access in the City, the bus-only lanes in Stratford and Camden, the school-street restrictions that come into force at 08:30 and 15:00 across most residential boroughs, the LTN (Low Traffic Neighbourhood) restrictions in Islington and Hackney, the timing windows for through-routes in Westminster, and the ULEZ and Congestion Charge boundaries which all our vehicles are configured to meet without additional cost to you.

Within Central London we work all the major postcodes — the West End (W1, WC1, WC2), Westminster (SW1), Mayfair and Belgravia (W1, SW1), Knightsbridge and Chelsea (SW1, SW3, SW7), Kensington (W8, SW7), Notting Hill (W11), Marylebone (W1, NW1), Fitzrovia, Bloomsbury, and Covent Garden (WC1, WC2, W1), and the entire Square Mile (EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4). For corporate and luxury hotel pickups we know the back-door drop-off arrangements at the Ritz, Claridge's, the Connaught, the Savoy, the Dorchester, 45 Park Lane, the Lanesborough, Shangri-La at the Shard, the Bulgari, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, the Berkeley, the Goring, the Langham, Brown's, the Rosewood, the Edition, the Corinthia, the Carlton Tower Jumeirah, Pan Pacific, the Mondrian Shoreditch, the Ned, One Aldwych, and the established Park Lane and Knightsbridge addresses where the doormen know us by name.

For business pickups, we cover every major office cluster: the City of London Square Mile, Canary Wharf in the Isle of Dogs (Tower Hamlets), King's Cross / St Pancras redevelopment (Google, Meta, Universal Music), White City (BBC and the M&S head office), Stratford (FCA, TfL, Cancer Research), Paddington Basin, Victoria, the Strand and Aldwych legal corridor, and the Holborn professional services cluster. Outside Central London, we cover all of suburban Greater London — Wimbledon, Richmond, Putney, Twickenham, Kingston, Surbiton, Epsom, Sutton, Croydon, Wallington, Beckenham, Bromley, Orpington, Sidcup, Bexleyheath, Eltham, Greenwich, Blackheath, Lewisham, Catford, Forest Hill, Dulwich, Crystal Palace, Streatham, Tooting, Balham, Clapham, Battersea, Brixton, Camberwell, Peckham, Bermondsey, Surrey Quays, Rotherhithe — and we will pick up or drop off at any London address from a tower block in the East End to a private estate in the Stockbroker Belt.

The five London airports — Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, and London City — are our most-booked destinations. Every airport pickup is automatically flight-tracked: our system pulls live arrival data from the airport, adjusts the pickup time if your flight is delayed, and notifies the driver to head to the airport at the right moment so that they arrive after you have cleared customs but before you have to wait. There is no charge for delays within the bounds of normal aviation operations. Drivers meet you in the arrivals hall with a name board carrying your booking name (international arrivals) or at the designated meeting point (domestic arrivals). For Heathrow we use the official meet-and-greet bays in each terminal; for Gatwick the North and South terminal arrivals concourses; for Stansted the international arrivals exit; for Luton the dedicated meet-and-greet zone; for London City the small but well-organised single arrivals point. There is no extra fee for meet-and-greet — it is included in every airport pickup.

For airport departures, we time the pickup based on the journey time from your address, the airline you are flying with, the recommended check-in window, and the day of the week. Friday afternoon departures from Mayfair to Heathrow start 30–45 minutes earlier than the same journey on a Tuesday morning. Sunday-evening journeys to Stansted are particularly traffic-dependent and our drivers know the alternative routes when the M11 is jammed. For all journeys to Luton we factor in the M1 traffic patterns north of Watford which can vary substantially through the afternoon. Pre-dawn airport runs — typically 03:00 to 05:00 pickups for early-morning flights — carry no premium and are a substantial part of our daily volume.

We cover every major London rail terminus. King's Cross (LNER to Edinburgh, York, Leeds, Newcastle), St Pancras International (Eurostar to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam plus East Midlands services), Euston (Avanti West Coast to Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Glasgow), Paddington (GWR to Bristol, Bath, Cardiff, Devon, Cornwall, and the Heathrow Express), Victoria (Gatwick Express, Brighton, Sussex services, Kent), Waterloo (South Western Railway to Surrey, Hampshire, Dorset), Liverpool Street (Greater Anglia to Stansted, Cambridge, Norwich, and Crossrail/Elizabeth Line east), London Bridge (Thameslink and Southeastern), Marylebone (Chiltern Railways to Oxford and Birmingham), Charing Cross (Southeastern to Kent), Cannon Street (Southeastern City services), Fenchurch Street (c2c to Southend). For station pickups, our driver waits in the official taxi rank or the nearest available stopping point and meets you on the concourse outside the platforms with a name board. For drop-offs we deliver you to the departures entrance with time to clear ticket barriers, find your platform, and board comfortably. For Eurostar specifically we time the drop-off for 60–75 minutes before departure to allow for customs, security, and luggage management — and we know which of the St Pancras drop-off points has the shortest pavement-to-check-in walk.

Three booking channels, used roughly equally by our customer base. Online booking at getlondontransfer.com/booking takes about sixty seconds: pickup address, drop-off address, date and time, passenger and luggage count, and contact details. The price is shown before you confirm. Confirmation arrives by email and SMS within two minutes; on the morning of travel you receive a second SMS with the driver's name, mobile number, and vehicle registration. Phone booking on 020 8888 9988 is twenty-four hours, seven days a week, including the holiday period when our online team handles complex multi-stop and recurring bookings personally. WhatsApp booking on +44 7427 249103 works well for travellers who prefer text and gives you a written confirmation trail.

Our guarantees are simple. Fixed price means the figure you see at booking is the figure you pay — no traffic surcharge, no metering, no late-night extra, no airport pickup fee beyond what is included in the quote. Door-to-door means we collect from the exact pickup address you specify and deliver to the exact drop-off address — no walking to a corner pickup point, no being dropped at a station forecourt. 24/7 dispatch means we operate every hour of every day of the year, including Christmas and New Year, with no premium for unsocial hours. TfL licensing means every driver holds a valid Transport for London Private Hire Operator Licence, every vehicle is licensed for private hire, every insurance policy is checked, and every booking is recorded with the regulator as required by London licensing law. Flight tracking means airport arrivals are tracked automatically and pickup adjusts to the actual flight time at no extra cost. Corporate accounts are available for businesses wanting consolidated monthly invoicing across multiple users, with VAT-compliant invoices and reporting by cost centre or project code.

Payment is online by card at booking, by card to the driver on arrival, or against an established corporate account. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Apple Pay / Google Pay. For business accounts we invoice monthly with 14-day or 30-day payment terms. Cancellation up to two hours before pickup is free; cancellation inside that window may attract a partial charge depending on driver dispatch status, and full charges apply for no-shows. For airport pickups, if your flight is cancelled or substantially delayed we re-book at no extra cost to a new arrival time. For wedding, event, and tour bookings we provide a written quote with full breakdown and confirm in writing.
