Service Overview
Airport Transfers with Covent Group Travel
An airport journey has two awkward ends: the wait at arrivals after a long flight, and the worry about reaching the terminal in time on the way out. Covent Group Travel arranges private road transfers between London and Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City, so the vehicle, the driver and the pickup point are agreed before you travel.
We handle individual travellers, couples, families and full groups. Tell us the airport, the terminal, your flight number, how many people are travelling and roughly how much luggage you have, and the team will come back with a recommended vehicle, a quote and confirmation of availability.
AIRPORT TRAVEL
A Private Transfer Built Around Your Flight
Our airport service suits anyone who would rather not drag cases onto the Underground or queue at a taxi rank after landing. That includes business travellers flying in for a day of meetings, families heading off on holiday with pushchairs and large suitcases, overseas visitors arriving in London for the first time, and tour organisers who need an entire group moved from one arrivals hall at once.
Collections and departures are both available, and many clients book them together as a return transfer. Because every journey starts as an enquiry, you can describe anything unusual – an early-morning departure, a late arrival, an extra stop to collect a colleague – and the team will confirm what can be arranged before anything is booked.
TRANSFER OPTIONS
Airport Journeys We Regularly Arrange
Airport work rarely looks the same twice. A single executive landing at London City needs something very different from a school choir arriving at Stansted. These are the journey types we are most often asked to quote for.
Departure drop-offs
Collection from home, office or hotel with a pickup time set to give you a comfortable margin before check-in closes.
Airport to hotel
Straight from the arrivals hall to your hotel in Mayfair, Knightsbridge, the South Bank or anywhere else in London.
Airport to business
Land and go directly to an office, client site or conference venue such as ExCeL London, with luggage travelling with you.
Return transfers
Outbound and inbound journeys arranged in one enquiry, so the return leg is already settled before you fly.
Group arrivals
One or several vehicles for teams, tour parties and wedding guests landing on the same or neighbouring flights.
VEHICLE CHOICE
Car, MPV, Minibus or Coach for the Airport Run
The right vehicle depends on two numbers: passengers and bags. A Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a practical choice for one or two travellers with standard luggage, while the S-Class is often chosen when the passenger is a senior guest or the journey follows a long-haul flight. The V-Class works well for families and small teams who want to travel together.
For larger parties we offer a 16-seater minibus, a 24-seater midi coach, and 32-seat and 37-seat coaches. Luggage space varies by vehicle, so list your cases, golf bags, ski bags or equipment in the enquiry and the team will confirm what fits, or suggest a second vehicle.

WHY BOOK PRIVATELY
Practical Reasons to Pre-Arrange Your Airport Transfer
A private transfer will not make a flight land any earlier, but it removes several common frustrations from the trip.
A known pickup point
The meeting arrangement is agreed in advance, so you know where to go once you clear arrivals.
One vehicle for everyone
Groups stay together rather than splitting across taxis, trains and coaches with different timetables.
Luggage planned for
Because bags are listed at the enquiry stage, the vehicle is chosen with your cases in mind.
Door-to-door routing
No changes at Paddington, Victoria or Liverpool Street with heavy luggage in tow.
Quote before you commit
The team confirms the price and availability first, so there are no surprises on the day.
HOW TO BOOK
Arranging an Airport Collection or Departure
Send an enquiry through the booking form, call or WhatsApp +44 7494 643115, or email info@coventgroupttravel.co.uk. The more detail you give at the start, the quicker the team can confirm.

- Pickup or drop-off address – home, hotel, office or venue.
- Passengers and luggage – including oversized items.
- Return journey – dates and times if you would like both legs quoted together.
The team will reply with a vehicle recommendation and quote. Meet-and-greet with a name board can be requested; let us know and the team will confirm.
AIRPORTS & AREAS
London Airports and Pickup Areas We Cover
We arrange transfers to and from all five main London airports: Heathrow to the west, Gatwick in West Sussex, Stansted in Essex, Luton in Bedfordshire, and London City in the Royal Docks.
Pickups and drop-offs cover the whole of the capital, including Central London, Westminster, Kensington, Chelsea, Canary Wharf, Stratford and our home area of Leyton. Journeys from outside London can be quoted on request. Travel times depend on traffic and time of day, so the team will suggest a pickup time rather than promise a fixed duration.
TERMINAL GUIDE
Terminal Information for Each Airport
Giving the correct terminal is one of the most useful things you can do when booking. Heathrow has four passenger terminals in use – Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 – and airlines are spread between them, so check your booking confirmation. Gatwick has a North Terminal and a South Terminal, linked by a free transit shuttle. Stansted, Luton and London City each operate from a single passenger terminal.
If your airline changes terminal or your flight is diverted, contact the team as soon as you can so the pickup arrangement can be updated. For departures, the driver will aim for the departures drop-off area of your terminal; airport drop-off charges and access rules are set by each airport and can change.
TRAVEL INFORMATION
Luggage, Pickup Times and Passenger Details
Luggage: list the number of large cases, cabin bags and any bulky items such as golf clubs, skis, musical instruments or mobility equipment. Capacity differs between vehicles, and the team will confirm what fits.
Passenger numbers: include every traveller, including children and infants, so the right vehicle and any requested child seats can be arranged.
Pickup times: for departures, allow for your airline's check-in and bag-drop deadlines, then let the team suggest a collection time based on the route and time of day. For arrivals, the flight number and scheduled landing time are the starting point.
Extra stops: collecting another passenger on the way is usually possible when it is mentioned in the enquiry.

Airport Transfers FAQs
Which London airports do you cover?
We arrange transfers for Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City. Journeys to other UK airports can be quoted on request.
Why do you ask for my flight number?
The flight number lets the team match your booking to your arrival and plan the collection. If your flight time changes, let the team know so the pickup can be adjusted.
How do I know which Heathrow or Gatwick terminal I am using?
Your airline booking or boarding pass shows the terminal. Heathrow uses Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5; Gatwick has North and South Terminals. Please include it in your enquiry.
Can I book a return transfer at the same time?
Yes. Include both the outbound and return details in one enquiry and the team will quote and confirm both journeys together.
How much luggage can I bring?
It depends on the vehicle. Tell us how many cases and any oversized items you have, and the team will recommend a suitable vehicle or suggest a second one.
Can a large group be collected from the airport together?
Yes. Minibuses and coaches of 16, 24, 32 and 37 seats are available, and several vehicles can be arranged for bigger parties, subject to availability.
Is meet-and-greet included?
Meet-and-greet with a name board can be requested. Mention it when you enquire and the team will confirm the arrangement.
Can I travel from the airport straight to a meeting or hotel?
Yes. Airport-to-hotel and airport-to-office journeys are among our most common requests. Just give the destination address when you enquire.
