Meeting your driver

At Heathrow your driver waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal (2, 3, 4 or 5) with a name board. Their name, car and phone number come by text before you land. Heathrow does not allow pick-ups at the kerb, so the car is parked in the terminal's short stay car park, a short walk away. For pick-ups at Heathrow, the airport's £8 parking charge is added to the price and shown before you book. Drop-offs at Heathrow have nothing extra to pay.
