Flight delays and our free-wait policy

A delayed flight is the one thing about airport transfers people worry about most. Here's exactly how we handle it — automatic tracking, a full hour of free wait, and no surcharge when your inbound runs late.

№ 01 — We track the flight

Your pickup follows your actual landing

At booking you give us your flight number. From then on we watch the inbound automatically. If it's delayed an hour, the pickup moves an hour; if it lands early, we know that too. You don't need to call ahead, rebook, or pay a rebooking fee — the driver is timed to the runway, not to the schedule you booked weeks ago.

№ 02 — 60 minutes free

A full hour of wait, from touchdown

The clock starts when your wheels touch down — not when you booked, and not when the driver arrives. Sixty minutes is enough for taxiing, a slow passport queue and baggage reclaim on almost every flight into Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton or Birmingham. Your driver waits inside arrivals with a name board so there's no hunting around a car park.

№ 03 — No surge, no delay charge

The price is fixed even when the flight isn't

Because the fare is agreed up front, a delay doesn't change it. There's no meter ticking while you queue at the carousel and no late-night or bank-holiday premium. If reclaim is genuinely abnormal, you and the driver stay in touch by text and sort it out fairly — but the everyday delays that come with flying are simply absorbed.

FAQ

Common questions

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Nothing changes for you. We track your inbound flight automatically using the flight number you give at booking, and we shift the pickup to your actual landing time. There is no extra charge for a delayed flight.

How long is the free wait?

60 minutes from the moment the plane lands. That covers taxiing, immigration and baggage reclaim for the vast majority of arrivals — so your driver is there when you walk out, not before.

What if I land early?

Because we track the flight, an early landing is picked up too. The driver adjusts to the new time wherever possible — just head to the meeting point as normal.

What if the wait goes over an hour?

If reclaim is exceptionally slow, message the driver on the number we send by SMS. We stay in contact and won't leave — any waiting beyond the free hour is handled fairly and discussed with you, never auto-charged.

Do I need to phone you when I land?

No. A quick text is welcome but not required — we already know your flight status. We send the driver's direct number and exact meeting point by SMS once you've cleared immigration.
