The driver uses the main Hilton London Paddington entrance and knows the lie of the roads around W2 1EE in Paddington, so you are dropped as close to the door as the access allows — and collected from the same spot for departures.
Bags loaded for you, and the price is exactly the written quote — no meter creeping up, no surge, at any hour.
