Worth knowing
Good to know about Paddington.
Where your driver meets you
Your chauffeur waits at Departures Road, the covered ramp alongside platform 1, name board up, and takes the luggage from there. The exact spot is confirmed with your booking so there is no wandering the concourse.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is TfL-licensed private hire, fully insured and DBS-checked.
Tolls & charges included
Your fixed price already includes every road toll, the Congestion Charge and the ULEZ charge. There is nothing to add at the kerb.
When to book
Friday evenings and the first and last trains of the day are the busiest windows. Booking 24–48 hours ahead secures your preferred vehicle class; same-day is often possible.
Payment & accounts
Pay by card online, by cash to your driver, or on a corporate account with consolidated invoicing. The price you agree is complete — tipping is appreciated, never expected.
Peak periods to plan around
Paddington is at its busiest weekday peaks and the pre-flight Heathrow Express crowds. Your driver knows the approach roads at those hours and, with the train tracked, times the pickup to your real arrival rather than the timetable.
A Paddington transfer, done properly
London Paddington is served by gwr · heathrow express · concourse pickup, and the walk from platform to street is where a long journey either ends well or falls apart. A pre-booked chauffeur means no taxi queue and no surge pricing at the barrier — your driver is on the concourse with a name board before the train arrives, tracking the service rather than the timetable.
None of the usual friction applies. The fare is fixed when you book and holds whatever the traffic does; the train is tracked so a delay simply shifts the collection, with three-quarters of an hour of free waiting on top. The driver takes the cases, child seats come free, and you can cancel without charge up to a day before.
Transfers from Paddington start at £45 for a saloon; estates, executive cars, MPVs and sixteen-seat minibuses are priced the same transparent way. It is typically 10–40 min across london — door to door, one price, no meter running.
