What Is Meet and Greet?

Meet-and-greet is an arrivals service where your driver waits for you inside the terminal — typically in the arrivals hall with a name board — rather than you finding a taxi rank or pickup point. They help with your luggage and walk you to the car. It turns the often-confusing arrivals process, especially after a long flight or at an unfamiliar airport, into a simple, reassuring experience.

How It Works at Each Airport

Heathrow

The driver meets you in your terminal's arrivals hall — flight-tracked across all terminals.

Gatwick

Met in North or South Terminal arrivals, whichever you land at.

Luton & Stansted

Met in the arrivals area, flight-tracked, ideal after budget-airline flights.

London City

Met in the compact arrivals — quick and central for business travellers.

Why Choose Meet and Greet?

It's ideal for long-haul arrivals when you're tired, first-time visitors unsure of the airport, families with children and luggage, business travellers wanting efficiency, and elderly or less-mobile passengers who'd value the help. Instead of hunting for a rank or working out the trains, you simply walk out and your driver is there. Flight tracking means even a delayed or early landing is handled automatically.

💡 Always give your flight number: With meet-and-greet, your driver tracks your flight, so if you land early or late they'll still be waiting. Providing your flight number when booking is what makes this seamless — no rushing, no worry about delays.

Getting the Most From Meet and Greet

To get the smoothest possible experience from airport meet-and-greet, a few practical points help across any London airport. The single most important is providing your flight number when you book, as this is what lets your driver track your actual arrival time — so whether you land early or your flight is delayed, they're waiting when you emerge, with no missed pickup and no charge for a delay beyond your control. Next, understand the arrivals process at your airport: after landing, you'll pass through immigration (for international arrivals) and collect any checked luggage before reaching the arrivals hall where your driver waits, so allow for that time — your driver expects it and tracks accordingly. Look for your name on the driver's board as you come through into the public arrivals area. It's worth keeping your phone charged and your booking details to hand in case you need to make contact, though the driver will be actively looking for you. Mention any special requirements — extra luggage, child seats, a larger vehicle for a group, or assistance for a less-mobile passenger — when you book, so the right vehicle and support are arranged. For families, the service is especially valuable, removing the stress of navigating an unfamiliar airport with children and bags. Attend to these simple points and meet-and-greet delivers exactly what it promises at every London airport: step off the plane, find your name, and be looked after all the way to the car and home.
