How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Standard, 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: argyle Street, the hotel’s own side, is far calmer than Euston Road; cars wait at the door and the ride out is planned around the one-way grid.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the King’s Cross approach and the London City Airport pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Flight tracked
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
Cars & capacity
The Standard to London City Airport from £55.
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. Once you book, the price never changes.
