- 45 minutes free waiting time — from the time your flight lands, covering immigration and baggage collection
- Live flight tracking — your pickup time adjusts automatically to your actual landing time
- Door-to-door service — dropped at your exact address, not a nearby street
- Free cancellation — up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup

Heathrow Airport Transfer vs Taxi, Uber & the Tube
Getting from Heathrow to London — your options compared:
- BA Transfer (pre-booked): Fixed price from £55, meet & greet, door-to-door, no luggage restrictions, no waiting. Best for families, groups, heavy luggage, or if you value certainty.
- Black cab / taxi rank: Metered — a central London trip typically costs £65–£90+ depending on traffic. Long queue during peak arrivals, especially at T5.
- Uber / Bolt: Surge pricing common at peak times and after major flight waves. Price can be 2× the normal fare. No meet & greet — you walk to the pick-up zone in the car park.
- Elizabeth line (Tube): From £5–£12 to Paddington/central London. Fast (15–25 min) but not practical with multiple large suitcases or late-night arrivals, and doesn't serve T4 directly.
- Heathrow Express: £25 one-way to Paddington in 15 min. No luggage help and still requires onward travel at the other end.
