Can you arrange a cruise transfer from Heathrow, Gatwick or London?

Yes. We arrange journeys between Heathrow, Gatwick or London and the cruise terminals in Southampton and Portsmouth. Share your flight, ship and luggage details so we can plan a suitable vehicle and pickup.

How much luggage can I bring?

Our Mercedes-Benz V-Class carries up to seven passengers and seven large cases; Business Class and First Class accommodate up to two large cases. Capacity depends on luggage size and the vehicle supplied. Please mention oversized luggage or pushchairs when booking.

Where will my chauffeur meet me at the airport?

Airport arrivals include meet and greet in the arrivals area, plus luggage assistance. Provide your flight number and terminal when booking. For help locating your chauffeur, call +44 (0)7300 416439.

What happens if my flight is delayed or cancelled?

We monitor your flight and adjust for delays of up to two hours without a pickup-change fee. For longer delays or cancellations, contact us promptly. Waiting allowances, rebooking and refund conditions are explained in our booking terms.

How much waiting time is included?

Complimentary waiting is 60 minutes at airports, 45 minutes at cruise terminals and 15 minutes at standard pickups. Airport waiting starts from actual landing or your booked pickup time, whichever is later. See our booking terms for additional charges.

Is my airport or cruise transfer fare fixed?

Yes, for your agreed journey and services. Traffic delays do not change your confirmed fare. Extra waiting, excess hourly mileage or requested journey changes may incur charges under our booking terms.

What is your cancellation policy?

More than 48 hours before pickup: refund of payments made, less £15. At 24–48 hours, including both boundaries: 50% of the total fare refunded. Under 24 hours: normally no refund. See our booking terms for grace periods and exceptions.

Can I change my booking if my plans change?

Contact us as soon as your travel plans change. Amendments depend on availability; extra time or distance may affect your fare. We confirm agreed changes in writing. Cancellation and amendment conditions are in our booking terms.

Can you provide child seats for airport and cruise transfers?

Child and booster seats are available on request at no extra charge. Tell us each child’s age and seat requirements when booking so we can confirm suitable equipment for your journey.

Can I arrange a return journey?

Yes. Send us the pickup locations, dates and times for both journeys. We will prepare a bespoke quotation and confirm each fare before you book.

How can I pay?

Pay securely online by card, or request bank transfer by arrangement. Eligible bookings of £300 or more made over 14 days ahead can use a 20% deposit; the balance is due 14 days before travel. See our booking terms.
