How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The May Fair, 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: stratton Street is short and one-way; cars wait directly at the awning, and the doormen turn the kerb over briskly on event nights.
Luggage handled
Between the The May Fair lobby and the concourse, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Train tracked
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Paddington Station, and a car at the door at The May Fair — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
