Airport Direct

I methodically planned our Europe trip and had planned to take the tube or bus from our apartment near Covent Garden to Heathrow but became concerned about getting there in time for our 7:55 am departure. I decided to book a cab instead. I called around 10pm the night before and they were able to a accommodate us. The driver showed up on time and got us there safely. The total was around 55 for all 5 of us.

I had a really good experience with Airport Direct — and will definitely ring them again upon landing at Heathrow…
To time it right, if you order the cab upon landing is usually quite good — you can also give them your flight number and they’ll arrange to be there shortly after the flight confirms its touchdown at LHR.
I arrived exhausted on a busy Saturday afternoon and needed a car. Not willing to pay 80 quid for a black cab or brave yet another train/​tube combo, I pulled up my Kabbee app and found Airport Direct. Within a minute I received confirmation.
It would’ve been helpful to know the process of airport pickup (I’m obviously not well educated!) — but here you have it. They’ll confirm your car via text. Then the driver will go park and then meet you by arrivals with your name on an ipad or notepad. They’ll escort you to the car and you’ll be on your way. If you are in Terminal 1 — this will be near Costa Coffee. I had to call to make sure as I was confused, and the girl on the line was really helpful.
For 42 quid — I made it home, the driver was very nice, helped me with my bags the whole way. He was a safe driver, asked me if I’d like the music up, didn’t make unnecessary conversation (I think he could tell I was beat!) and offered to help me with my bags to the door, too.
Will ring them next time I’m sitting agitated in immigration so I can bust on outta there!
