Airport tips, route guides and travel advice to help you plan a smooth, stress-free journey across London and beyond.
These guides cover the practical questions that come up most before a journey: which terminal you need, whether meet & greet is worth paying for, how early to leave for a dawn flight, and how a fixed fare actually compares with an on-demand app once you account for surge pricing. Each one is written from the same operational experience that runs our day-to-day transfers, not general travel advice repurposed from elsewhere.
One thread runs through nearly all of them: what a minicab actually is in law. It is a licensed private hire vehicle, distinct from a black cab, which cannot be hailed on the street and must always be booked in advance, with the driver and vehicle separately licensed. Understanding that distinction is what makes the rest of these guides — fixed fares, flight tracking, meet & greet, comparisons with on-demand apps — make sense as a connected picture rather than a list of unrelated tips.
Your driver inside arrivals with a name board, or waiting outside and calling you through? Here is what each option involves and when meet & greet earns its cost.
