Driving Charing Cross to The City
Most of what goes wrong on a transfer goes wrong at the two ends — the meet and the price. From Charing Cross to The City we take both off the table: your driver is on the concourse with your name, the luggage is theirs to carry, and the 10–20 min run is at a figure agreed when you book, not one that drifts with the traffic.
The forecourt off the Strand. Reckon on 10–20 min for the drive, with 45 minutes of complimentary waiting so a slow arrival never costs you the car. Every toll, and the London charges where they apply, sits inside the fare — nothing to settle at the kerb.
