Reading to Central London: what to expect
Most of what goes wrong on a transfer goes wrong at the two ends — the meet and the price. From Reading to Central London we take both off the table: your driver is on the concourse with your name, the luggage is theirs to carry, and the 1h 30–2h 05 run is at a figure agreed when you book, not one that drifts with the traffic.
Reckon on 1h 30–2h 05 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.
