A hotel transfer taxi from Kingston takes you between a hotel and wherever you need to be: home, the airport, a station, a wedding venue or a meeting. It is useful for visitors staying in Kingston, for locals heading to an airport hotel before an early flight, and for businesses booking rides for guests.
Who uses hotel transfers
- Visitors to Kingston arriving by train or plane and heading to their hotel, then needing a ride back at the end of their stay.
- Early flyers who stay at a Heathrow or Gatwick hotel the night before a dawn departure.
- Wedding and event guests moving between a hotel, a ceremony and a reception, often in a group.
- Businesses and venues that book rides for staff, speakers or clients.
Airport hotels before an early flight
If your flight leaves at 6am, a night at an airport hotel can be easier than leaving home at 3am. Heathrow's hotels are mostly along the Bath Road (A4) on the north side of the airport and around Terminal 4 and Terminal 5. A typical drive from Kingston to the Heathrow hotel area takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic. Gatwick also has hotels at and near its terminals.
Book the hotel transfer as you would any journey, with the hotel name and address. If you would rather go straight from your door to the terminal, see our Heathrow taxi and Gatwick taxi pages for fixed airport prices.
Central London hotels
Travelling into town for a show, a conference or a night away? A hotel transfer gets you and your bags to the door, which is easier than carrying luggage on the train and the Underground. Journeys into central London can pass through the Congestion Charge zone, so mention this when you book and check how it affects the fare.
How to book a hotel transfer
- Give us the hotel name and full address, including the postcode.
- Tell us the pick-up time. For check-out, allow time to settle your bill and collect luggage.
- Say where you will be waiting: the main entrance, the lobby or a side entrance.
- Tell us the number of passengers and cases. Groups may need a 6 seater or 7 seater.
- If you are booking for a guest, add their name and mobile number.
Wedding and event days
Kingston and the surrounding area have a lot of riverside and country venues, and guests often stay in local hotels. If you are organising transport for a group, book early and give us a timetable for the day. Several cars or larger vehicles can be booked for the same event, and you only need to deal with one number.
Pick-up areas
We arrange hotel pick-ups in Kingston town centre and nearby areas such as Surbiton, Esher and Wimbledon, as well as at airports and central London hotels.
Arriving late at a hotel
If you are arriving late, check with your hotel that the reception will be open. Give us the hotel's phone number if the driver may need to help you find the entrance.
Frequently asked questions
Can you pick me up from a hotel?
Yes. Give us the hotel name and full address when you book, and tell us if you will wait in the lobby or outside.
Can I book a hotel transfer for a guest?
Yes. You can book for someone else. Give us the guest's name and a mobile number so the driver can reach them.
Do you go to Heathrow airport hotels?
