How it works

From your door to departures, in four steps

One fixed price, confirmed before you travel. No meters, no surge, no surprises at the other end.

1

Book in advance

Call 01494 771000 or book in the app. Give us your pick-up address, flight number and terminal and we'll confirm your fixed fare.

2

Get your confirmation

We send a WhatsApp confirmation with your driver's name, vehicle and registration the day before, so you know exactly who's coming.

3

Your driver arrives

A named, DBS-checked driver arrives at the agreed time, loads your luggage and takes you straight to your terminal. Pay by card, cash, account or in the app.

4

We track your return

On the way back we follow your flight in real time, so your driver is there when you land — not when you were due to.

What's included

Everything you'd expect, in the price

Flight tracking

We watch your inbound flight and adjust your pick-up time automatically if it's early or late.

45 minutes' free waiting

After your flight lands you have 45 minutes before any waiting time is charged — enough for passport control and baggage for most arrivals.

Airport fees handled

Gatwick, Luton and Stansted drop-off fees are already in your fare. At Heathrow the £7 drop-off fee is added on departures and car-park charges are passed on at cost on pick-ups.

A named driver

You're told who's driving before they arrive. Our drivers are licensed and enhanced-DBS checked by Buckinghamshire Council.

Meet & greet on request

Prefer to be met in arrivals with a name board? Just ask when you book — available at every airport.

No surge pricing

Early flight, bank holiday, pouring with rain — the fixed fare you were quoted is what you pay.

Fare finder

FAQ

Airport transfer questions

How far in advance should I book an airport taxi?

For early-morning flights (pick-ups before 6am) we recommend booking at least 24 hours ahead. Otherwise, as soon as you know your flight — the fare is fixed whenever you book, and we'll confirm your driver's name and vehicle the day before.

Are the fares really fixed?

Yes. The price we quote for an airport transfer is the price you pay, however long the journey takes. The only extras are the airport's own charges: at Gatwick, Luton and Stansted the drop-off fee is already included in your fare; at Heathrow a £7 drop-off fee is added on departures, and on pick-ups the car-park charge is passed on at cost.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track your flight, so your driver works to the actual landing time, not the scheduled one. You get 45 minutes of free waiting after landing, which covers passport control and baggage for most arrivals; after that waiting is charged at £20 an hour or part of it.

Will my driver meet me in the terminal?

Yes — meet and greet is available on request at every airport. Your driver waits at the arrivals meet-and-greet point with a name board, and your booking confirmation tells you exactly where. If you'd rather, we can also arrange a quick kerbside pick-up where the airport allows it.

How many passengers and bags can you take?

A standard saloon takes up to four passengers with two medium cases and hand luggage. For more people or more luggage we have estates, 6-seater MPVs and an 8-seater — tell us your party size and bags when you book and we'll send the right car.

Can I pay by card?

Yes. Pay by card in the app, by card to the driver, or on account for regular business travel. Cash is welcome too. There's no surcharge for paying by card.

Do you only cover Chesham and Amersham?

No — we cover the whole of the Chilterns: Chesham, Amersham, Great Missenden, the Chalfonts, Gerrards Cross, Beaconsfield, Chorleywood, Berkhamsted and the villages between. If your town isn't in the fare finder, call 01494 771000 and we'll quote a fixed fare in seconds.

Do you do return journeys and airport-to-airport transfers?

Yes. Book the outbound and return together and both fares are fixed. We also do transfers between airports and from the airports to anywhere in the UK — see our long-distance page or call for a quote.

Not sure which airport, or need a hand?

Call the Gilberts team and we'll quote your fixed fare in seconds.
