What Private Hire Means for You
As a licensed private hire operator, every journey must be pre-booked through us — we can’t pick up passengers hailing in the street. In practice, this means your driver, vehicle and price are all confirmed before you travel, rather than left to chance with a street-hailed cab.
Fully Licensed & Insured
Our drivers are licensed and DBS-checked, and our vehicles are insured and maintained to private hire standard. You’ll receive your driver and vehicle details ahead of your journey.
Coverage
We run private hire transfers to and from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City airports, with executive and group vehicles also available.
Why Choose Onward Travel Solutions
We run fixed-price airport and port transfers across Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City, plus Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover, for individual travellers, families, groups and corporate accounts. Every booking carries the same standard: a price agreed before you travel, free flight tracking, meet & greet as standard, and drivers who are licensed, insured and DBS-checked.
We’d rather earn repeat bookings by being reliably on time and correctly priced than compete purely on the cheapest headline fare — which is why our pricing is transparent from the first quote rather than adjusted once you’re at the airport.
What Affects Your Price
Your fixed price is based on a small number of factors agreed at booking: pickup and drop-off location, vehicle class, time of travel and passenger numbers. Once confirmed, that price doesn’t change because of traffic, a longer route on the day, or your flight landing later than scheduled.
This is different from a metered taxi, where the fare keeps running if you’re stuck in traffic, or a ride-hailing app, where the price can rise sharply during surge periods such as early mornings, late nights or bad weather. Booking in advance with a fixed price removes both of those risks.
Peace of Mind, Start to Finish
You’ll receive a booking confirmation with all the details of your journey as soon as you book, and a reminder with your driver’s details ahead of travel. If your plans change — a different flight time, an extra passenger, a different pickup address — just get in touch and we’ll update your booking, usually at no extra cost provided you give us reasonable notice.
How Booking Works
1. Get a Quote
Enter your pickup address, drop-off point, date, time and passenger numbers online, or call our booking team, for an instant fixed-price quote.
2. Confirm Your Details
Add your flight number (if applicable), any child seats needed, and your preferred vehicle class. You’ll receive a confirmation with all the details of your booking.
3. Travel
Your driver tracks your flight or timing automatically and arrives ready for pickup, waiting inside the terminal or at your address as agreed — no need to call ahead to confirm they’re coming.

- Meet & greet with a name board at every airport pickup

Licensed, Insured & DBS-Checked
Every driver providing this route is licensed and DBS-checked, and every vehicle is fully insured for private hire and maintained to the standard required for licensed passenger transport. You’ll receive your driver’s name and vehicle details ahead of travel, so there’s no uncertainty about who to expect.
As a licensed private hire operator, every journey is pre-booked rather than hailed — which is what allows us to confirm your price, driver and vehicle in advance, rather than leaving any of that to chance on the day.
Coverage Area
Alongside airport transfers, Onward Travel Solutions also covers UK seaport transfers to Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover cruise terminals, plus event and venue travel across London and the South East. Whether you’re travelling to a terminal building, a cruise port or a conference venue, the same fixed-price, meet & greet standard applies.
