  LHR Airport Transfer
  Book Your Ride! Pre-reserve your airport transfer for added savings and convenience.

  Often the cheapest way to get to and from London Heathrow airport, shuttle vans often offer a cost effective alternative to taking a taxi. Typically, London Heathrow airport shuttle services use large passenger vans and provide pickup service from your home, hotel, or office to (or from) LHR airport. You share the ride, and hence much of the cost, with fellow travelers in your immediate area.

Sedans are typically Lincoln Towncar-type vehicles that accommodate 2-3 passengers, while limos can be as long as buses and hold an entire bachelorette party.

• Shuttle van/limo Tipping Etiquette:
  
  • Shared ride shuttles: if you’re taking bags and the driver helps you loading/unloading them, its appropriate to give the driver a few bucks for his/her efforts.
    
  • Sedans/limos: the most appropriate form of tipping is a percentage of the fare, usually around 15%. Drivers derive much of their income from tips and usually deserve a gratuity if their service was satisfactory.
