What is the difference between a taxi and an airport transfer?

A standard taxi is usually meter-based and can be booked on demand. An airport transfer is pre-booked with a fixed fare, official flight checks, and planned pickup timing. Prime Airport Transfer provides airport transfers with confirmed pricing before travel.

How much does an airport transfer cost?

Prices start from £32 for short routes (for example Redbourn to Luton) and from £48 for Heathrow transfers. All fares are fixed at booking, no meters, no surge pricing. Get an instant quote on our booking page.

Can airport transfers have car seats?

Yes. Prime Airport Transfer provides child seats on request for airport transfers, including baby, toddler, and booster options. Request your seat type when you book so the correct vehicle is assigned.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We ask for your flight number when you book. Our team checks your arrival against the airline's official information and adjusts the pickup where it is needed. Your fare includes 60 minutes of free waiting after an international arrival and 30 minutes after a domestic one; waiting beyond that may be charged, as set out in our terms.

Are pets allowed in airport transfers?

Yes, pets are allowed in airport transfers with advance notice. Small dogs and cats under 11kg travel in secure carriers with a £25 cleaning surcharge. Registered assistance dogs travel free without a carrier.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Yes. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. Changes to pickup time, address, or passenger count can be made through our office by phone or email at no extra cost.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) through Stripe at checkout. Cash payment to the driver is also available if arranged in advance. Corporate accounts pay by monthly invoice.

What is the best airport transfer solution for corporate travel?

For regular business travel, the best solution is a managed corporate airport transfer account with priority booking, monthly invoicing, and consistent service standards. Prime Airport Transfer offers corporate accounts for businesses across the UK travelling to and from Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted, and London City airports.
