Our Heathrow focus
Heathrow Airport transfers, professionally coordinated
Heathrow is at the heart of our service. Whether you are arriving at Terminal 2, 3, 4 or 5, travelling to a business meeting, heading to a hotel or continuing to another airport, we can discuss a direct transfer tailored to your itinerary.
Arrival and meet & greet
We agree the collection arrangements, monitor flights where applicable and help travellers understand where and how to meet their driver.
Airport connections
Journeys to Gatwick, Farnborough and other airports need planning around immigration, luggage, road conditions and onward check-in deadlines.
Business and family journeys
From individual travellers to journeys arranged for colleagues or older relatives, clear instructions and suitable luggage arrangements matter.

Corporate, private aviation and worldwide travel
Corporate travel coordination
Executive assistants, travel managers and businesses can enquire about multiple passengers, changing schedules, confidential itineraries and onward journeys.
Private aviation arrangements
Private jet and FBO journeys can require different arrival procedures. We can discuss bespoke coordination and pre-arranged airside services where permissions are in place.
International airport transfers
UK-wide service and global coverage allow passengers to discuss journeys beyond Heathrow. International bookings are coordinated with appropriate partner arrangements.
Vehicle arrangements, local permissions and availability are confirmed for each booking. CEC does not claim to own fleets in every destination.
Useful before you fly
Practical airport travel guidance
Allow time for the entire connection
Road time is only one part of an airport change. Include immigration, baggage, meeting your chauffeur, traffic and airline check-in or boarding cut-offs. Tight connections cannot be guaranteed.
Travelling with others?
For older relatives, children, or visitors without UK mobile data, agree the meeting location, contacts and luggage needs before departure.
If plans change
For delayed, diverted or cancelled flights, contact us with the new details. Flight monitoring supports coordination but does not replace traveller updates.
Clear quotations
Ask for a written explanation of waiting, parking, meeting arrangements, additional stops and cancellation terms before confirming your airport transfer.

Based on real traveller concerns
Airport transfer questions, properly answered
These practical questions address issues regularly raised by travellers, including collecting elderly relatives, missed connections, extra luggage, pricing and changes to flight plans. Answers describe CEC’s proposed booking approach, not Reddit testimonials.
Can I book an airport transfer for my parents or someone else?
Yes. Tell us who is travelling, who is organising the booking and how we should communicate collection instructions. We can agree appropriate updates with the booker while respecting the passenger’s privacy.
What if my elderly relative cannot find the driver?
Agree a clear meeting plan and reachable contact number before travel. If the passenger is unsure where to go, they or the named booker should contact CEC rather than leave the agreed collection area.
Do I need mobile data or a UK phone number?
Let us know in advance if your phone will not work on arrival. We can discuss a practical meeting and communication arrangement before confirming the booking.
Where will my chauffeur meet me at Heathrow?
The agreed meeting location depends on the terminal and collection arrangement. Your confirmation should specify the meeting plan. Follow the latest airport guidance rather than an outdated general instruction.
What happens if my flight is delayed or arrives early?
CEC uses flight monitoring to assist planning. Please also tell us about flight number changes, cancellations or a revised itinerary. Any revised collection is subject to the agreed booking terms and availability.
What if immigration or baggage takes much longer than expected?
Contact us as soon as you can. Your quotation or confirmation should explain the applicable waiting allowance and any additional waiting or parking charges.
Does the transfer price include airport parking and waiting?
Your individual quotation should state what is included and which additional costs may apply. Ask for clarification before confirming if parking, meet and greet or waiting terms are unclear.
Can I travel with six people and six large suitcases?
Potentially, but passenger capacity does not equal luggage capacity. Provide a full list of cases, prams and other items so a suitable vehicle arrangement can be confirmed. More than one vehicle may be needed.
Can I travel with a baby or young children?
Please tell us the children’s ages and child-seat requirements before booking. Any requested seat or other child-related arrangement must be confirmed in advance.
Can you help someone with limited mobility?
Tell us exactly what assistance is needed, including whether a wheelchair-accessible vehicle is required. We will only confirm services and vehicle suitability that can actually be arranged.
Is an airport-to-airport connection guaranteed?
No. Road travel, airport processing, baggage and check-in deadlines make tight connections risky. We can discuss a sensible travel plan, but do not guarantee onward flight connections.
Can you take us from Heathrow to Gatwick, Stansted or Luton?
You can enquire about UK airport-to-airport transfers. Provide the airports, terminals, flight details, luggage and travel dates so timing and availability can be assessed.
Can I book a long-distance transfer from any part of the UK?
CEC arranges UK-wide journeys, including airport transfers and longer-distance travel. Each itinerary, vehicle arrangement and quotation is confirmed individually.
Do you arrange airport transfers outside the UK?
Yes. CEC coordinates international chauffeur and airport transfer arrangements, including through its worldwide partners, subject to local availability and booking confirmation.
Can an executive assistant arrange several passengers or airports?
Yes. We can discuss named travellers, multiple journeys, agreed contact arrangements and itinerary changes as part of a personally managed booking.
Can you arrange private aviation or FBO collections?
CEC can discuss private aviation journeys, including pre-arranged airside service where appropriate permissions and handling arrangements have been confirmed. Access must not be assumed.
Is CEC a taxi service?
CEC is a TfL-licensed private-hire and chauffeur operator. If you are comparing Heathrow taxis, minicabs and pre-booked airport cars, CEC offers a private-hire alternative; it does not provide street-hail or taxi-rank service.
Can I change a booking after a flight cancellation?
Contact us promptly with the revised details. We will explain any available amendment, rebooking or cancellation options under your confirmed terms.
Should we travel to the airport the night before?
For an early departure or an important connection, compare the risk of road delays and the airline’s check-in requirements. An overnight hotel stay may be sensible for some itineraries.
Can I make several stops on the way?
Please supply the full route before requesting a quotation. Planned stops, waiting and multi-stop itineraries can be considered subject to agreement.
