How long does it take to get to Central London from the airport?
Mainly, the airport is very close to the heart of the city, only about 7 to 10 miles away. Usually, the drive takes between 20 and 30 minutes. However, traffic on the A13 and A12 can be very heavy and slow during the morning and evening rush hours. Therefore, if you are traveling during these busy times, we suggest adding a little extra time to your journey to make sure you stay on schedule.

Actually, yes! While many people head to the city centre, we also provide transfers to the South Coast. For example, we frequently drive passengers to Brighton and Southampton. Because these are longer routes, we provide comfortable vehicles with plenty of space for your luggage. Furthermore, these trips are also covered by our fixed-price guarantee, so you will know the total cost before you even start your journey.
