How it works
Travelling to The Gore, your driver meets you in arrivals at London City Airport with a name board, flight tracked, 60 minutes of waiting included. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: queen’s Gate is broad and forgiving — cars wait at the hotel steps, though on Proms nights we shift to the Elvaston Place corner.
The Gore to London City Airport or the reverse — the fixed fare from £55 holds either way.
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
Our drivers know the Kensington approach and the London City Airport pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Cars & capacity
Six classes, one standard of care. Saloon, one way, off-peak. 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. The confirmed price covers the agreed itinerary; extra stops, changes or waiting beyond the allowance may cost more.
