How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Ritz, 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: pickups run from Arlington Street at the hotel’s side entrance, where the doormen know to expect pre-booked chauffeurs — smoother than stopping on Piccadilly itself.
Both directions, one price
The Ritz to Paddington Station or the reverse — the fixed fare from £45 holds either way.
Luggage handled
Between the The Ritz lobby and the concourse, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Paddington Station, and a car at the door at The Ritz — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.

Every P5 chauffeur holds a full private-hire licence, is insured for you as a passenger, and is DBS-checked.
At the hotel end
Pickups run from Arlington Street at the hotel’s side entrance, where the doormen know to expect pre-booked chauffeurs — smoother than stopping on Piccadilly itself.
