Your driver is already waiting when you clear customs
You book a fixed-price private transfer from Heathrow to your London hotel, and a driver with your name on a card meets you at arrivals after you've cleared customs.

You're in your hotel within an hour, without negotiating a fare or waiting for a shared shuttle.

The experience
The nameplate with your name is the first thing you see after you collect your luggage. That's the whole point of the meet-and-greet at Heathrow: no hunting for a taxi rank, no negotiating a fare at the curb, no standing outside in the rain trying to spot your driver. Airport Pickups London tracks your flight in real time, so if you land late, they've already adjusted the pickup time. You just walk through arrivals, find your driver, and get in.
The cars are new and built for comfort: air-conditioned, spacious enough for luggage, and driven by licensed professionals who know London's roads better than the GPS does. Most journeys from Heathrow to Central London hotels take between 45 minutes and an hour depending on traffic, though the driver will give you a realistic estimate once you're on the road. There's no meter running, no surprise charges at the end. The price is fixed when you book, and that's what you pay.
If you're traveling with small children, infant seats are available on request. You just need to mention it when you reserve. The service works the same way for drop-offs: book your return journey in advance, and a car will collect you from your hotel at the time you specify, giving you one less thing to arrange on the morning you leave. Families, business travelers, and anyone arriving with luggage find this setup saves the mental load of figuring out transport the moment you land.
