Is the Heathrow drop-off charge included?
Yes. Heathrow Airport charges £7 for each entry, with a 10 minute maximum stay at the terminal drop-off zone and our fixed fares already include it, so there is nothing extra to pay the driver.
Where will the driver meet me at Heathrow for the journey back to London?
Private hire cars are not allowed to wait on the terminal forecourts, so your driver parks in the Terminal Parking car park, two minutes' walk away, and meets you at the arrivals meeting point with a name board. Pickups from the airport are £12 more than drop-offs because the price includes the car park: at Heathrow, Terminal Parking costs £8 for up to 29 minutes and £15.50 for 45 to 59 minutes. The driver tracks your flight, so a delay does not cost you anything.
