About us

Health & Safety

We clean our cars frequently. Please help us keep them pleasant for everyone by:

  • Not smoking.  

  • Not eating, drinking (except water) or carrying anything in the car that could leave stains or smells. We reserve the right to charge you a minimum of £50 to clean up an undue mess.  

  • Not carrying pets in our cars – fur and feathers can trigger allergies and stick to clothes.
    We aim to make your journey as safe as possible (and carry first aid kits and fire extinguishers).

    Please:

    • Wear your seat belt at all times during travel.  

    • Control any children travelling with you, and provide child seats where applicable. Please note that we are not allowed to carry more than four passengers per car regardless of age.  

    • Discuss with us beforehand if you are booking travel for minors, ill or sedated people. Please note that our drivers can refuse travel to anyone they consider may pose a risk to anyone’s safety (and a minimum charge of £12 will apply if the journey does not proceed). This includes passengers who are unduly drunk, drugged or sedated, rowdy, too young or ill to be unaccompanied, or otherwise not able to behave safely and sensibly during the proposed journey.


Getting You There


We aim to get you to the right place at the right time. Please:  
  • Give us full, detailed information when you make your booking. We will act on the information you give us: if it’s incorrect or misleading, we may not succeed in getting you to where you want to go at the right time.  

  • Tell us what time you actually need to be at your destination, eg flight check-in time. Based on our driver’s experience, we add a generous margin to most journeys, especially to airports, to allow for possible delays. We will take alternative routes where practical around congestion, but unexpected delays may happen.


Our Charges

We quote you the charges for your journey when you book it, and agree with you how it will be paid. Quotes are valid for 60 days based on the details you give us. Please:  
  • Pay at the time of travel by cash, cheque with guarantee card (unless you have a business account with us).  

  • Note that we will charge you at cost for London Congestion Zone charges and metropolitan parking.  

  • Tell us at least 24 hours before the agreed collection time to cancel or change a booking. We reserve the right to charge you the full cost quoted for the journey if you give us inadequate notice.  

  • See our rates card or web site for examples of current charges, or phone us for a quotation.


Company Accounts

Accounts for companies can be set up by negotiation with special rates for volume business.  
  • As well as carrying passengers, we can provide you with a courier service for documents and parcels (we reserve the right to examine the contents of parcels for security reasons).  

  • All account travel is billed monthly and payment must be received electronically or by company cheque before the end of the following calendar month.


Travel To/From Airports, Stations & Ports

Please make sure that we have full details of the flight, train or ship to which we are taking you or from which we are collecting you.
  • On your outward journey, please tell us the latest check-in time quoted by the travel operator, so that we can get you there without undue rushing. If our driver is to collect you when you come home, please reconfirm the date, time and details to ensure our information is up to date.
     
  • When we are collecting you on your journey home, please let us have your mobile phone number if at all possible. Our driver will meet you in the arrivals hall, quay or concourse and will hold a placard with your name on it. If the driver cannot find you, he will attempt to contact you on your mobile phone - please ensure that it is switched on. If for any reason you cannot find him, please wait for 10 minutes, then contact us on 01980 630094 (we divert our phones when necessary to provide complete round the clock cover).

Making It Easy For You

Our aim is to give our clients the best chauffeur service. Travel is stressful enough without having to worry about the details, so let us make your journey special.

  • We are happy to assist you with your luggage and will always meet you in person at any agreed location. By arrangement, we are happy to wait for you while you spend the evening at a restaurant, theatre, cinema or function. Or perhaps a wedding, day at the races, shopping or even a pre-arranged excursion to some of the beautiful historic sites in the West Country.
     
  • The vehicles are equipped with air-conditioning, satellite navigation and traffic information. There is also a superb sound system for your choice of music, the news ... or silence.

Please call us for information about our services or simply to discuss possibilities. We look forward to hearing from you.
