All flights are automatically monitored through our airport arrivals integrated software. Thereafter, we charge 40.00 GBP per hour, or part thereof. All charges are calculated to and from Central London. Car parking charges are applicable where appropriate, such as airport and station collections.

As a guide, for standard cars (minivan 1-4 pax) the free cancellation period required is usually 30 minutes for collections in Central London and 45 minutes for collections in Greater London and up to the M25 orbital motorway.

For Mercedes E and S Class chauffeur cars, 2 hours Central London and 3 hours Greater London. Any bookings outside of the M25 London orbital motorway cancellations are dealt with on their merit – the fee is calculated based on the distance travelled by the vehicle to the pickup collection at the time of receiving the cancellation notice.
