The service
What Is a Meet & Greet Airport Transfer?
With a standard airport pickup, you walk out of the terminal and find your driver at the pickup area. With Meet & Greet, your driver comes into the terminal and waits for you at the agreed meeting point in arrivals, then walks with you to the car.
It is the easiest way to be collected after a long flight, especially if it is your first time in London, you are travelling with children or heavy luggage, or you are landing late at night.
Add Meet & Greet when you book your airport pickup and include your flight number. You see the full fare before you confirm.
Meeting points vary by airport and terminal. The exact meeting point for your journey is in your booking instructions.
