From Chelsea we cover all London airports, cruise ports, stations and point-to-point journeys. Our drivers know the area and plan around the traffic, and for airport pickups we track your flight so the timing always works.
Booking takes about two minutes and your fare is fixed from the start. Here is how a journey works, step by step.

Chelsea, on the north bank of the Thames in west London, is known for the King's Road, Sloane Square and its riverside streets. Journeys are often to Heathrow to the west or to the West End nearby. We collect door to door and can supply executive cars for business and special occasions.
By road distance, London City is usually the shortest run from Chelsea, though the fastest journey on the day depends on traffic and which motorway corridor you take — a numerically closer airport can still be the slower option if it means crossing London rather than joining a direct route. Here is roughly how each of the six compares, in normal traffic:
Of all the areas we cover, Chelsea ranks 28th closest to London City out of 64 by road distance — a genuine relative marker, not just a raw mileage figure.
London City — about 13 miles (30–50 min by road); Chelsea lies to the west of it.
Heathrow — about 16 miles (25–40 min by road); Chelsea lies to the east of it.
Gatwick — about 30 miles (50–75 min by road); Chelsea lies to the north of it.
Luton — about 35 miles (45–70 min by road); Chelsea lies to the south-south-east of it.
Stansted — about 40 miles (50–80 min by road); Chelsea lies to the south-south-west of it.
Southend — about 45 miles (60–90 min by road); Chelsea lies to the west of it.
The legal line between a minicab and a black cab comes down to booking: a minicab must be arranged ahead of time rather than hailed, and every driver and vehicle needs its own private hire licence to operate. With Airport Move that means the price and the pickup time are settled before you set off, and your licensed driver arrives precisely as agreed, not picked up off the street. In Chelsea specifically, London City is the closest of the six by road — roughly 13 miles away, with Chelsea lying to the west of it — which is often why local minicab bookings here lean that way, though a fixed-fare car from Chelsea reaches every London airport just as reliably.
For Chelsea, the roads are predictably busier on weekday mornings and early evenings, when local commuters and airport traffic both use the main approach roads. Booking an early or late weekday slot is where a little extra time helps most; outside peak hours and on weekends, journeys tend to run more smoothly. Our drivers watch the traffic and adjust the route, not the price.
On the day, your driver confirms the pickup point in advance so there is no last-minute searching, and for airport legs the flight is tracked so the car is ready whether you land early or late. Allow the usual airport routine either side of the drive itself: security and check-in on the way out, and passport control or baggage reclaim on the way in, both of which our free waiting allowance already covers.
Sort out group size and luggage when you book, not on the day: four passengers and two large cases fit a saloon well, while an estate, MPV or 8-seater handles more — extra suitcases, pushchairs or sports bags included. This kind of journey sees more demand over school holidays and summer, so booking with some notice makes it easier to get the vehicle sized correctly.
Most Chelsea bookings with us start as an airport transfer, but the same fixed-fare minicab and driver cover plenty more of your travel:
A regular commute or the school run, billed to a business or family account.
A wedding, night out or event transfer, planned to your schedule.
A car kept at your disposal with hourly hire.
A connection on to a cruise port or hotel.
Something sent rather than someone carried, with courier delivery.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
