    Amazing ride to cruise terminal in London
    Our diver picked us up with time to spare. We had concerns after reading stories from other companies but not so for us. Our driver was early, drove safely, in a clean black Mercedes Benz Van. We arrived early to the cruise terminal and he gave direction to where we should go.

    Reliable And Responsible
    We used Airport Pickups London twice in the past month. Both pickups were on time; their prices were reasonable, and communication was clear and helpful. The first ride was from LHR to central London. Excellent driver (Ishmael?) and a spacious SUV. The second transfer took us from London to the cruise port In Southampton. The driver was fine, but the back seat of an older, small Mercedes sedan was not that comfortable for a two hour ride. At any rate, I would recommend this company for your transport needs. 4.5 stars.

    Excellent service
    Was both met at airport and returned three days later to Heathrow. Our plane was on time (BA, only an hour from Edinburgh to London) but the bags took an ADDITIONAL two hours to be delivered, but our driver patiently waited. Took a Mercedes station wagon back, very professional. Much less than Uber or a cab and they meet you with a sign!

    Good ride from Oxford to Heathrow
    The whole booking process is easy. The driver was very polite and he arrived to pick us up 10 minutes ahead of time. The online tracking gave me peace of mind as I know ahead of time when the car would arrive. The trip is comfortable and the driver helped us to load and unload our luggage.

    Excellent. Booking very easy and quick. Postcode not listed for our pick up but sorted without fuss. Journey was very comfortable, excellent driver who made the drive across London painless. Very clean car and would definitely use again. Certainly not overpriced.

    Gatwick to Heathrow transfer.
    The taxi arrived in pouring rain slightly ahead of time to take me to Heathrow airport. It was dark and with the driving rain it was a difficult driving experience but he was careful while still getting me to my destination on time. He made the journey less of a chore. Great service.

    Handled with the utmost professionalism
    I had an incredibly smooth experience with Airport Pickups London. They caught a discrepancy in my flight details, which led me to discover that my airline had cancelled my flight! I had additional complications during my travels - the Customer Service person with whom I spoke was responsive, accommodating and kind. Finally, the driver who picked me up was punctual, communicative over text and personable. I could not have asked for a better experience.

    good, could have been great
    Good driver, good car. Would have rated it a five if he was waiting on me. I didnt have to wait long after I exited immigration, maybe 10-15 minutes . There were about 25 drivers with signs and mine wasnt one of them.

    Flexible top quality service
    We made it through customs and immigration very quickly and were available early. Our driver was flexible and able to pick us up earlier than scheduled. The ride was very comfortable and our driver was courteous and highly professional. A very enjoyable trip.

This company is a bunch of useless charlatans and liars.

I made an advanced booking for an airport pickup for my brother in law from Heathrow Terminal to Bournemouth and paid £180 in advance.

At midnight the night before I reconfirmed and advised the number of pieces of luggage.

About four hours before the arrival time I got an email saying they had processed my refund!! I telephoned and asked what was going on! They told me someone had telephoned and cancelled the booking. This was impossible as I was the only person with the details.

I requested them to reinstate the booking as it was their mistake. They refused and said it was impossible.

Furthermore, when they processed the refund, they had arbitrarily deducted £5!

Chicago Mike was my driver last Saturday meeting me at Gatwick airport. He was extremely friendly and professional and an excellent driver negotiating an alternative route to Heathrow due to heavy traffic queues getting me to Heathrow with plenty of time to spare.
I would thoroughly recommend this transfer company and Chicago Mike.

The following feedback was provided to the company but there was no reply at all.
“I would like provide feedback on the driver allocated for my pickup. He demanded that I pay him for the 100mins of waiting time and scolded me for wasting his time. He also charged me an additional £5 for 5mins when I was on time and in fact have to wait for him to go to the loo after our meet up. I did not want to confront him further but it has been a very unpleasant experience. It would be helpful for the drivers to be fully informed of your website information on pickup to prevent another passenger having to go through this. I sincerely hope you will look into this. Thank you.”

Great service - would definitely use them again. The fact that they monitor the flight times and adjust for them meant that when we landed early the driver arrived early as well. We were met in the terminal & helped with our luggage to a large and comfortable car. Driver was helpful and friendly and trip back was comfortable and hassle free. Good service

Chicago mike excellent.
Booked online, card payment failed, Spanish and corona issues meant planned arrival 6h late, arrived about 3am rather than 9.30pm after a nightmare trip fully anticipating our pick up would have abandoned us.
NOT SO - call when about to disembark, there waiting, professional and courteous in smart car who drove safely to Gatwick ready for our next morning flight.
Quote online virtually identical to fee despite the time and delay.
Made the travel trauma so much easier.
Thank you Mike and superb service and superb value.
Would we use again - FOR CERTAIN - Ian and Sarah

Great service from APL. We booked large taxi's from home to Heathrow Airport and return journey.

Price was v competitive and they were able to provide car seats for kids as well and Merc Van to transport 8 ppl.

App and communication was good and pickup at airport was on time.

Would recommend.

It has been the 4th time I used their service and I would recommend them. The drivers are professional and friendly.
They reach out a couple of days in advance to reconfirm the pick up and the drivers
arrive 5/10 minutes early. They also send the invoice a day after the trip.
For this ride, I really appreciated the way the driver drove considering the traffic there was traffic and there had been snow in the previous days.

We used APL a few times over our holiday. The first was a pick up from LHR to a private address in Kent. Our driver was prompt and very polite. The drive home was smooth.

Our second was from a private address in Kent to STN at 3.45am. I had contacted APL to provide a pin drop to our location as the postcode and google maps doesn't quite bring the drivers to the property. Sadly this was not passed onto the driver. The location is very remote, but luckily on this occasion, he managed to keep cell reception and got to the property. He was again, very polite and courteous and the ride went very smoothly.

We were picked up from STN with no issues - the driver called and met us - he was polite, helped with bags and again, the drive home was smooth with no issues.

Our last drive was from a private address in Kent back to LHR. Again, I provided a pin drop to assist the driver in locating us but this was not passed on to him. After many phone calls the driver arrived at the property. He was polite and friendly and we got to the airport with no issues.

All the drivers we met have been dressed smartly, been friendly and courteous and we enjoyed many conversations with them.

Would highly recommend - my only issue being that office staff need to pass on information to their drivers in order to help them perform their roles. I can't remove any marks for the information not being passed on as the drivers themselves have been excellent!

Amazing service. The easiest and smoothest transfer from Gatwick to Heathrow. We had Chicago Mike as our driver, he was brilliant. He called to confirm pick up, was on time, professional, his car was top of the range, spotless and super comfortable, driving was smooth. When we told him where we were going on holiday he even gave us recommendations. Exceptional customer service.
