How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to Royal Garden, your driver meets you on the concourse at Paddington Station with a name board, your train tracked. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: the hotel keeps a genuine drive-in forecourt off the High Street — one of the easiest pickups in west London, even with a full luggage set.
Both directions, one price
Royal Garden to Paddington Station or the reverse — the fixed fare from £47 holds either way.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Paddington Station, and a car at the door at Royal Garden — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the Kensington approach and the Paddington Station pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Cars & capacity

Rush hour, nights (10pm–6am) and bank holidays cost more; the return leg is 5% off when booked together — your quote shows the exact price before you book.
