We do use professional Private Hire booking software developed by NEGUP SOLUTIONS. All bookings must be made just for airport transfers or long-distance rides. Booking made for the local ride may be rejected. Bookings can be made only as pre-booked service via our website, mobile phone number/landline phone number, or mobile phone application. Any request for a direct hire (street hail, taxi rank, etc) is not allowed and will be rejected by the driver/office staff.
Booking for a ride must be prepaid, except the in-car card payments (must be pre-approved by office staff) or bank transfer payments (must be pre-approved by office staff). In-car card payments are processed by Revolut Bank. The service provider reserves the right to request full payment in advance from the price quoted. In that case, payments are processed through PayPal.
We do reserve the right to cancel the booking if the customer failed to prepay the ride.
The ride quoted price includes the airport drop-off fee and a limited (basic) time of parking at the airport or port. The price offered on the web includes the London ULEZ fee, London Congestion fee, Clean Air fee (where applicable).
The price quoted and/or offered doesn't includes extra waiting time or additional fees we were not aware of in advance.
In that case, a relevant fee may be payable when the ride finishes or will be added manually by the Dispatcher to the fare quoted.
Meet & Greet service is an optional add-on, which may be added to the booking by the customer.
Where the ride is payable via Invoice service, the Invoice due date is 7 days from the date the Invoice was issued. If the Invoice is overdue, a late payment fee of £50 will be issued to the customer.
The late payment fee procedure:
We do use professional Private Hire booking software developed by NEGUP SOLUTIONS. All bookings must be made just for airport transfers or long-distance rides. Booking made for the local ride may be rejected. Bookings can be made only as pre-booked service via our website, mobile phone number/landline phone number, or mobile phone application. Any request for a direct hire (street hail, taxi rank, etc) is not allowed and will be rejected by the driver/office staff.
Our prices shown during the booking process includes the airport fee we have to pay to the access Terminal building or place designed for pick-up/drop-off.
Prices displayed do not show the Meet & Greet service, which is optional service which can be added to the booking manually by the customer when booking is being made online or by office staff when booking is being made over the phone, email or text. The Meet & Greet service fee is £10.
The Drop-Off fees at the selected airports are currently:
Meet & Greet service covers 60 minutes of waiting time and the parking fee for this period. When exceed, an extra waiting fee (EWT) of £5 for every 15 minutes will be added to the final ride fare and payable directly to the driver – except for the account rides where EWT will be added to the Invoice by office staff. We do use flight tracking premium service with access to the real flight data, flight history, and flight details provided by Flightradar24 AB. Our drivers use mobile app to be able to check real flight data.
Your flight is scheduled to land at Heathrow Airport at 1500.
The real landing time, based on the data taken from FR24 is 1505 – this is the time your 60 minutes of free waiting time is applied, and expires on 1605.
When exceeded, then an extra waiting time fee of £5 for every 15 minutes will be added to your bill.
The EWT finishes being applied when the driver changes ride status to POB (Passenger on board). Driver must inform the main passenger or person who managing the booking when an extra waiting fee is being applied.
Please be aware: RLT (real landing time) is not the time the aircraft arrived at the Terminal gate for the passenger’s disembark.
The time the aircraft landed and taxied at the airside to the Terminal gate is counted as a waiting time as well.
The reason is the aircraft taxiing around the airport airfield may sometimes take longer time than usual and we are not able to influence this process in any way, but the driver must be waiting for you in the arrival hall at the moment the plane lands – and the driver must pay the parking fee from the moment he enters the airport parking area (at RLT).
