Every fare is the full all-in total, including the London City drop-off charge. Fixed at booking — it doesn't change with traffic, time of day or the route taken. Prices are per car, not per person.
What's included
- Fixed price, in writing. The meter never runs; no airport surcharge or card fee.
- Meet & greet. Your driver waits in arrivals with a name board.
- Free waiting on the return. We track your inbound flight, so a delay just moves your pickup — no extra charge.
- Licensed, DBS-checked drivers, 24/7. Including the earliest departures.
The journey & pickup
It's about 4 miles — A1206 → London City — typically around 12 Minutes. Traffic near the airport can add time at peak, so for an early flight we'll suggest a pickup that clears the worst of it; for arrivals we hold the car until you're through the hall.
We collect across Canary Wharf and nearby — Canary Wharf, Isle of Dogs, Poplar, Blackwall, Millwall and the surrounding E postcodes. We serve London City's single terminal; give us your terminal and flight number when you book and the driver takes you to the right door.
Taxi vs train vs coach
| Option | Time | Changes | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taxi (door to door) | ~12 Minutes | none | from £51 / car |
| Train | around 15-20 min | one (DLR) | £3-6pp |
| Coach | around 30 min | 1+ | £3-6pp |
The taxi fare is per car. For two or more travellers — or any early-morning or late-night flight — a fixed car usually beats multiple legs with luggage.
