Usually, yes. A private transfer is a fixed door-to-door price (Saloon from £325), with no changes or dragging luggage between trains, and your driver meets you at arrivals.

A pre-booked private transfer: your driver meets you at arrivals, tracks your flight so they wait if you land late, can fit child seats (free in an MPV or larger, £10 each in an Estate) and helps with your bags — straight to the door with no changes.
