First, Check Your London Arrival Date

Many flights from the US (such as JFK, EWR, LAX, SFO, ORD) travel overnight across the Atlantic. You will leave the United States on one calendar day and arrive at London Heathrow the following morning.

Golden Booking Rule for US Visitors: When booking your car, use the date and local UK time your flight is scheduled to arrive at Heathrow, as printed on your airline itinerary. Do not enter the date you depart from the US unless your flight is a rare daytime service arriving same-day.

Have These Ready When You Book

  • ✓ Flight number and scheduled Heathrow arrival date/time
  • ✓ Your arrival terminal (Terminals 2, 3, 4, or 5)
  • ✓ Complete London hotel name, street address and UK postcode
  • ✓ Number of adults and children travelling
  • ✓ Exact count of large checked suitcases and carry-on bags

Allow Time After Landing

We track flights automatically for delays or early touchdowns. Your driver collection is scheduled for 60 minutes after the flight actually lands.

This hour gives you ample time to clear UK Border Force passport control (e-Gates for US biometric passports), collect your luggage, and make your way to the designated pickup point.
