Match the vehicle to the trip rather than picking blind. The saloon suits solo and paired travellers keeping costs down; the executive class suits business travel where presentation and space matter; MPVs and minibuses cover families and groups who need room for people and luggage together.
For larger parties or event travel, coach and large-group minibus options can be arranged separately — ask our booking team for capacity and pricing when you get a quote.
A Vehicle That Actually Fits the Journey
Not every trip needs the same car. UKTransfer2016 matches vehicle class to journey — from a straightforward saloon transfer to an executive car for business travel. Drivers are experienced with airport routing specifically, not just general private hire work, so timing accounts for TfL requirements, terminal access, drop-off restrictions and typical security queue times.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward answers to the questions we're asked most.
How is my fare calculated?
Your fare is fixed at the point of booking based on distance, vehicle class and any extras you add, such as a child seat or additional stop. It doesn't change with traffic, time of day, or demand.
Can I book a TfL-compliant airport transfer online?
Yes. Enter your pickup and drop-off details, select a vehicle, and confirm — the whole process is designed to take a few minutes from your phone or desktop.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
For airport pickups, your driver monitors your flight and adjusts arrival timing automatically, so a delay doesn't affect your booked transfer.
Do you offer meet and greet?
Yes, meet and greet can be added when you book, so your driver is waiting inside the terminal rather than at a general pickup point.
Is payment by card only?
Card payment, including contactless and mobile wallets, is accepted for all bookings. Confirm accepted payment methods with the booking team if you have a specific requirement.
How far in advance can I book?
Bookings can be made up to 12 months ahead, which is useful for locking in a fare well before a trip.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Cancellations ahead of the scheduled pickup are free of charge. Changes to timing or vehicle can usually be made by contacting the booking team directly.
Do you carry luggage beyond the standard allowance?
Extra luggage can be added at the time of booking so the right vehicle size is arranged in advance — it's best to flag this before the day of travel.
Are child seats available?
Child seats can be requested on MPV and minibus bookings. Let the booking team know the child's age so the correct seat type is provided.
How do I book with UKTransfer2016?
Visit the website, enter your pickup and drop-off locations, choose a vehicle, and confirm your booking. You'll receive confirmation details and driver information ahead of your journey.
