London airport transfers & private hire

Fixed-Price London Airport Transfers & TfL-Compliant Minicabs

UKTransfer2016 is a pre-booked private hire (minicab) service for airport transfers to and from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City and Southend. Every journey is quoted at a fixed price, completed by a licensed driver and run to TfL private hire compliance requirements — with saloon, estate, executive and MPV vehicles for solo travellers, families and larger groups.

Beyond the airport run

Alongside airport transfers, we arrange seaport and railway station transfers, day-hire vehicles, chauffeur-driven journeys and bespoke touring itineraries — from a single London journey to a full day of planned travel with a professional private hire driver.

A fixed quote, every time

Every booking is confirmed with a fixed quote before you travel — no meter and no surge pricing — so there are no surprises at the end of the journey, whether you're heading to a meeting, catching an early flight or bringing the whole family home.

Choose your vehicle

Our Private Hire Fleet

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. From a saloon for solo travellers to people carriers for groups of eight, every vehicle is clean, comfortable and driven by a licensed driver.

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.

Where will my driver meet me at the airport?

Your confirmation includes your driver's details and pickup instructions. With meet and greet, your driver waits for you inside the arrivals hall; otherwise you'll meet at the airport's designated private hire pickup point.

Is a minicab the same as a black cab?

No. A minicab is a licensed private hire vehicle that must be booked in advance, while black cabs can be hailed on the street. UKTransfer2016 is a pre-booked private hire service, so your fare is agreed before you travel.

Can I book a return airport transfer?

Yes. Choose Round Trip in the booking form to add your return date and time, and both journeys are confirmed at a fixed price.

Do you cover journeys outside London?

Yes. As well as London, we arrange long-distance transfers between the London airports and towns and cities such as Bristol, Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton, Southampton and Milton Keynes.

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.
