Airports are busy places so, when completing your taxi booking online, we recommend choosing a longer wait time if possible, particularly if you are flying into London Heathrow. This will allow you ample time to exit the plane, clear passport control and collect your luggage. If you do get through quicker than expected, you can make use of the airport's Wi-Fi, food and drink vendors and toilets. You can also call your driver and let them know you are ready and they may be able to arrive quicker than the agreed pick-up time. The taxi companies will track your flight and will be aware of any delays. After completing your booking, you will receive a confirmation from the taxi company which will include details of where to meet your taxi driver upon arrival. Airport Transfers Lancashire will also contact you prior to your flight to provide you with your taxi driver details.
If the airport you are flying into is not listed, or you are arriving into the UK another way and need some advice, please contact us at [email protected] and we can assist you.
