What changes the price

Distance and time held. A Heathrow transfer that takes 90 minutes costs less than the same vehicle held for eight hours. We price on both

Time of day. There is no out-of-hours supplement — an early-morning or late-night pickup is quoted the same way as any other.

Day of the week. Saturdays in summer are the busiest day in the London market. Book early rather than expecting a late discount.

Vehicle specification. If you want an executive-specification vehicle, tell us — specification varies, so it is always priced on request.

Luggage. If a full group also has full luggage, the next vehicle up is often cheaper than splitting across two smaller ones. Two vehicles typically cost 20–30% more per person than one larger one.

Waiting and split journeys. A wedding that needs the vehicle at 11am and again at midnight is either a full-day hire or two separate jobs. We will tell you which is cheaper for your timings.

Three or four taxis means three or four base fares, three or four airport drop-off charges and three or four waiting clocks running independently. One minibus means one fixed price, one driver and one vehicle to find at the terminal. Above six or seven people, the minibus wins on cost almost every time.

At a 16-seat price of £295 plus parking for an airport transfer, a full vehicle works out at under £19 per person before parking.

How payment works

A deposit of 25% confirms the booking. The balance is due in full 14 days before travel, and bookings made within 14 days of travel are paid in full. We accept card payments, through a secure online payment link or over the telephone, and bank transfer. Credit accounts are available for companies and schools — see /corporate-transfers/.
Quotes are valid for 7 days. Cancellation charges follow the published scale in our /terms-and-conditions/.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a 16 seater minibus for a day in London?
From £700 for a full day of up to 8 hours in a 16-seat vehicle, including the driver and fuel. Executive-specification vehicles are priced on request.
From £175 plus parking in a 9-seat MPV and £295 plus parking in a 16-seat vehicle, one way, fixed. Airport parking varies by airport and is quoted on request.
For groups of seven or more, almost always. Multiple taxis mean multiple base fares, multiple airport charges and no shared luggage space. One minibus is a single fixed price for the whole group.
No. There is no out-of-hours supplement, and our phone line is answered 24 hours a day.
The driver waits up to 30 minutes from the scheduled pickup time. Anything beyond that has to be agreed in advance and the extra cost is charged. Drivers’ hours rules also apply — a driver cannot simply keep working, so if your day is likely to overrun, tell us when you book and we will price it properly.
Yes — through a secure online payment link or over the telephone. Bank transfer is also accepted.
Per vehicle. You are hiring the whole minibus and the driver, not a seat on a shared service.
