Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.

The museum is unconquerable in one visit — pick three rooms, take the audio guide, and let the car take you to lunch while you argue about the marbles.
The The British Museum–Heathrow transfer
A The British Museum–Heathrow Airport transfer lives or dies on the two meeting points and the fixed price. The museum is unconquerable in one visit — pick three rooms, take the audio guide, and let the car take you to lunch while you argue about the marbles. Inbound, the flight is tracked and the The British Museum pickup moves to your real arrival; the fare from £67 is agreed before you travel, either direction.
Reckon on 45 min–1h 05 for the 18 miles, with 60 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll, plus the London charges where they apply, inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
