Private Aviation
Kerbside, Then Straight to the Aircraft
Private terminals run on short windows and specific access roads. We plan the road side of the journey so it stays as unhurried as the flight.

Overview
Business aviation does not work like a commercial terminal. Arrival windows are short and precise, the access road is often nothing to do with the main airport entrance, and the walk from the car to the aircraft can be a matter of metres. Getting that wrong costs a slot; getting it right means you step out of one seat and into another.
We plan around the handling time you have been given rather than a departure time, confirm the correct terminal and gate access in advance, and brief your chauffeur on where to present and how long it takes to get there at that hour. For arrivals the car is at the terminal before the aircraft is on stand.
We also arrange crew transport and multi-vehicle movements where a party is arriving on more than one aircraft or dispersing to several addresses. Tell us the shape of it and we will build the convoy around the handling schedule.
We are an independent chauffeur service and hold no partnership, accreditation or affiliation with any airport, terminal operator or fixed base operator. Access arrangements are always confirmed by your handling agent, and we work to whatever they specify.
Why Luxury Chauffeurs
Why Choose Luxury Chauffeurs
01
Terminal, not airport
A private terminal keeps its own entrance, frequently nowhere near the main one. Which access road, and which gate, gets confirmed before the day rather than at the barrier.
02
Built around handling
We start planning from whatever handling time your agent has given you, not from a departure time. That handling figure is what really governs the morning.
03
Crew and guests
Flight crew, guests coming in on separate aircraft, parties scattering afterwards to several different addresses: one coordinated movement covers the lot.
04
No affiliation claimed
Luxury Chauffeurs works independently, holding no partnership or accreditation with any airport, terminal or fixed base operator. Your handler is the one who confirms access.

Choosing Well
Ground Transport for Private Aviation
Compared with a commercial terminal, business aviation keeps a different clock. No check-in queue, no long walk, but the arrival window is narrow and specific, and picking the wrong gate rather than the right one can mean a lengthy drive around the perimeter. Rules are set by your handling agent. We work to whatever they specify, and the access arrangement is confirmed well in advance of the day.
Work the timing backwards from the handling time. Give us a flight number and we can plan around the published schedule; should the arrival slip, the car is held rather than dismissed and then rebooked. On an arrival the vehicle reaches the terminal before the aircraft is on stand, since the walk off the aircraft is short and no one ought to sit in a lounge waiting for their ground transport.
A quotation here wants slightly more detail than an ordinary road journey does. Give us the terminal and the handling company, the tail or flight number, passenger numbers and luggage volume, whether crew travel separately, plus the addresses at the far end. Where several vehicles are involved, they are priced as one arrangement instead of several. WhatsApp or email it across and the plan returns with the vehicles named.
Four Steps
How Booking Works
Chauffeur booking with us is a conversation rather than a checkout. Every journey is priced individually.
01
Tell us the journey
Message us on WhatsApp with your date, the addresses and roughly how the day looks, or fill in the journey planner instead. Nothing is owed either way, and getting a price asks for no card details at all.
02
We quote in writing
Back comes a written quotation setting out the vehicle, the timings and everything included. No estimate that shifts afterwards, and no surge pricing.
03
The car is held
Once you confirm, your date has a vehicle against it and a named professional chauffeur, with the terms set down in writing.
04
Your chauffeur arrives
Your chauffeur is briefed beforehand on the route, the access and where the waiting happens, so nothing gets decided at the kerb.

Private terminals run on short windows and specific access roads. We plan the road side of the journey so it stays as unhurried as the flight.
Corporate & Business
Corporate Flight Departments
If your company operates or charters aircraft, ground transport is the piece of the itinerary most often improvised, and the piece the passenger sees most clearly. A standing arrangement takes that away. Same chauffeurs, same briefing standard, one point of contact: a schedule change then gets absorbed with a single message, rather than a run of calls to people who have never once met the principal.
Deal teams and board parties reach for private aviation exactly because their day has no slack in it. Cars get matched to the party rather than to a headcount, so nobody ends up travelling apart from their papers. Quiet enough in the rear compartment to carry on a conversation started in the air, and chauffeurs treat the car as an extension of a closed meeting. Unbranded vehicles keep the arrival unremarkable.
Who We Drive
Who Travels with Us
Aircraft owners
Principals and families flying privately, who expect the road leg to feel every bit as quiet and unhurried as the flight it joins onto.
Charter passengers
Groups sharing one charter for a fixture, a board meeting or a holiday, converging from several directions on a single small terminal.
Flight departments
Schedulers and aviation managers sorting ground transport for passengers and crew, usually against a plan destined to change twice before wheels up.
Corporate delegations
Executive parties moving as a group, where the aircraft dictates the schedule and everything on the ground has to fit round it.
Events & Occasions
Private Flights and Leisure
Private flying is not always business. Families head off to a summer house, groups charter for a fixture or a wedding, and skiers leave at an hour no scheduled service would respect. Journeys like those want boot space rather more than boardroom quiet, and frequently a second vehicle for the equipment. Loading gets planned as carefully as timing does, because a full aircraft very rarely travels light.
Coming into the UK by private aircraft is often the opening move of a longer stay. A single arrangement can hold the collection at the terminal, the drive out to a country house or hotel, whatever days sit in between, and the return flight when it comes. Guests flying in on separate aircraft are met one by one and taken to the same address, none of them left waiting on the others.

Timing & Availability
Slots, Changes and Notice
Private aviation shifts about. Slots move, weather pushes an aircraft to a different field, and a departure settled the night before turns out to be an hour earlier by breakfast. Your vehicle is committed to your booking and not shared with anyone, so those changes get absorbed instead of rebooked. We would far sooner hear about them early than find out at the gate. A message does it.
Short notice is ordinary in this line of work, and usually possible, around the London terminals especially. If you want a particular vehicle on a particular morning, ask the moment the flight is planned. Peak weeks commit earlier than the rest of the year: the season fixtures, half term, the run into Christmas. That holds in the air and on the ground alike.
Professional Chauffeur Standards
The Standard We Hold
What a premium chauffeur service should mean in practice, rather than in a brochure.
Vetted professional chauffeurs
Before anyone drives for us they are licensed, insured and vetted. Ahead of the day your chauffeur reads the journey through, and turns up dressed for the occasion.
Discretion by default
No branding appears on the cars. Your chauffeur speaks when spoken to, and whatever gets said behind the front seats goes no further.
Immaculate vehicles
Cars of the current generation, valeted ahead of each journey, still water and charging in the rear compartment.
One point of contact
One person takes your enquiry, writes the quotation and sees the booking through, so you never explain anything twice.
Where We Travel
Nationwide Chauffeur Service
London is where most of our work begins, but a chauffeur can be arranged to and from any address in the United Kingdom.
Luxury Chauffeurs operates independently and holds no official partnership with any airport, any terminal operator or any fixed base operator. Give us your flight number and the collection gets planned around the published schedule and the usual clearance times.

Frequently Asked
Private aviation transfers
All of the United Kingdom. London and the South East account for most starting points, though Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Cardiff come up often, along with everywhere in between. Touring itineraries running several days take us through the Cotswolds, the Lake District, Scotland and Wales.
Two large suitcases plus two or three cabin bags sit comfortably in a luxury saloon. Step up to a luxury MPV and you have room for five or six large cases with cabin bags besides. Count yours exactly before you enquire, and mention the awkward items, golf clubs, skis, instruments, a pushchair, so we can point you at the right vehicle.
Every quotation carries a sensible allowance, and airport collections get a longer one than a city pickup, simply because arrivals refuse to run to a timetable. How much that allowance is, and what happens once it runs out, appears in writing at the point of booking. A delay should never bring a surprise with it.
Let us know at the earliest opportunity and we will help where we can. The terms covering cancellation and amendment are put in writing when you book and form part of your quotation, so where you stand is clear to you before you commit to anything at all.
How payment works is confirmed in writing when you book, sitting alongside the quotation for your journey. No fixed rate card exists here: each journey is priced on its own, against distance, duration, vehicle and timing. The figure and the terms therefore reach you together, before anything at all is confirmed.
Our own cars supply part of the answer; the rest comes from a vetted network of professional chauffeur operators. That arrangement is what lets us offer a real choice of marque and specification the length of the country. Whatever you end up travelling in arrives prepared, unbranded and driven to one standard.
