Clapham chauffeur service - frequently asked questions
Do you cover both Heathrow and Gatwick from Clapham?
Yes - from Clapham the two airports are within a few minutes of each other on transit time. We recommend Gatwick for southbound holidays, Heathrow for long-haul.
Can I book a standing morning slot?
Yes. Clapham is one of our top commuter postcodes - most City accounts run same-driver, same-time every weekday.
Where do drivers wait if I'm running late?
Old Town parking or the Common Northside layby. 15 minutes complimentary wait on every city job.
Where exactly can the car stop in Clapham, and can it wait?
Old Town, Northcote Road and the Abbeville side are door collections. Clapham Junction is one of the busiest interchanges in Europe - we use the Grant Road side rather than St John's Hill for set-down. Lambeth and Wandsworth permit zones cover almost every residential street; enforcement is active from 08:30. Drivers arrive at the agreed minute rather than waiting.
Do I pay the Congestion Charge, ULEZ, tolls or parking on a Clapham journey?
No - they are inside the fare. No Congestion Charge; ULEZ applies and is included. Fuel, the chauffeur's time, tolls, parking and VAT are also included, so the figure we quote is the figure you pay. All prices shown are indicative lead-in fares for the vehicle named and are subject to change - your final quote is confirmed in writing at the time of booking.
When should we leave Clapham to avoid sitting in traffic?
Clapham Road and the A3 are slow 07:30-09:30 into the City and West End. Heathrow is 45-70 minutes, Gatwick 35-50. Friday and Saturday nights are busy around the Old Town. Dispatch checks live conditions on the morning of travel and will move your collection time if the roads require it, rather than leaving you to discover the problem en route.
Which vehicle do most Clapham clients actually book, and why?
The Mercedes E-Class covers the majority of journeys here - one to three passengers with two cases. The Mercedes V-Class is the right call for families, four or more cases, golf bags or airport runs with a full luggage load, because a saloon boot simply will not take it. On the Clapham → The City run in particular, luggage volume rather than passenger count usually decides the vehicle. Tell us the passengers and the bags and we will specify it for you.
Can we have the same chauffeur every time in Clapham?
Yes - it is how most of our regular Clapham work runs. A named-chauffeur retainer keeps the same driver and vehicle for school runs, station and airport legs and evening commitments across SW4, SW11, SW12, so the driver already knows your gate code, your preferred route and how you like the car set up. Retainers are billed monthly on account with cost-centre reporting where you need it.
What happens if our plans change on the day - a delayed flight, a late finish, an extra stop?
Airport collections are tracked from take-off and re-timed automatically, with 45-60 minutes of complimentary waiting from landing. Address collections in Clapham include 15 minutes free waiting. Extra stops and late finishes are added at the agreed hourly rate rather than re-quoted from scratch, and if the change is substantial we confirm the revised figure in writing before you travel.
