At Gatwick, easyJet is concentrated in the North Terminal and British Airways mainly uses the South. Always confirm the terminal on your booking, because airlines do move.How-toFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/congestion-charge-ulez-2026-chauffeur-journeys/https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/congestion-charge-ulez-2026-chauffeur-journeys/From 2 January 2026 the London Congestion Charge rose from £15 to £18 a day, and electric cars lost their full exemption, paying £13.50 only if registered for Auto Pay. Private hire vehicles, including chauffeur cars, are not exempt. The ULEZ charge stays at £12.50 a day for non-compliant vehicles, but modern chauffeur cars normally meet the standard, so you should not see it on a quote.RegulationsFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/business-chauffeur-etiquette-guide/https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/business-chauffeur-etiquette-guide/In the UK the most senior passenger traditionally sits in the rear seat behind the front passenger seat, on the kerb side, so they can step straight onto the pavement. Brief the chauffeur by message before the day with names, addresses and timings, keep sensitive calls short whatever the car, and treat tipping as optional, with around 10 percent a common gesture for excellent service.BusinessFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/cruise-port-transfers-from-london-southampton-dover/https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/cruise-port-transfers-from-london-southampton-dover/From Wimbledon, Southampton's cruise terminals are about 75 miles away and typically take 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours by car, Dover is about 80 miles and 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes, and Tilbury is about 35 miles, usually 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. Aim to arrive at the start of your boarding slot, and give the driver your terminal name, not just the port.How-toFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/boarding-school-university-runs-chauffeur/https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/boarding-school-university-runs-chauffeur/For boarding school and university runs, book early for term start and end dates, because many families travel on the same weekends. Choose a people carrier if there is a trunk, bedding or a bike, check the operator's policy on unaccompanied under-18s, and remember that in a licensed private hire car children aged three and over must use at least an adult seat belt if no child seat is fitted.AdviceFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/chauffeur-booking-checklist-what-to-tell-them/https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/chauffeur-booking-checklist-what-to-tell-them/When you book a chauffeur, give the full pick-up and drop-off addresses with postcodes, the date and time, flight or train numbers, the number of passengers and bags, any child seats or mobility needs, a mobile number for the lead passenger and any stops on the way. Then confirm what the price includes, such as waiting time, parking, drop-off fees and road charges.AdviceFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/wedding-guest-transport-london-surrey/https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/wedding-guest-transport-london-surrey/Plan guest transport by counting who needs it, then working out shuttle runs between the ceremony, reception and nearby hotels. One people carrier can move six or seven guests per run, so a 15-minute journey with 30 guests takes several trips or several cars. Book the late-night carriages early, as evening demand on a summer Saturday is high.AdviceFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/chauffeur-car-luggage-capacity-guide/https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/chauffeur-car-luggage-capacity-guide/An executive saloon such as a Mercedes E-Class typically takes up to three passengers with two large suitcases and two cabin bags. A luxury saloon such as an S-Class takes a similar amount. A people carrier such as a Mercedes V-Class can take up to seven passengers, or fewer passengers with six or more large cases. If in doubt, book the bigger car.ComparisonsFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/christmas-party-new-years-eve-chauffeur-london/https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/christmas-party-new-years-eve-chauffeur-london/December Fridays and New Year's Eve are among the busiest nights of the year for chauffeur services, so book several weeks ahead, ideally by mid-November. On New Year's Eve, central London has major road closures around the river for the fireworks, so agree a pick-up point outside the closure area and a realistic time. For groups, one people carrier is usually better value than several cars.SeasonalFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/as-directed-chauffeur-day-london-planning/https://wimbledon-chauffeur.pages.dev/blog/as-directed-chauffeur-day-london-planning/With as-directed hire, the chauffeur and car are yours for an agreed number of hours, usually with a minimum of three or four, and you decide where to go. The best days have a rough plan of stops, realistic gaps for traffic and drop-offs at legal stopping points, because many central London streets do not allow waiting. Allow 20 to 40 minutes between most central London stops.How-toFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000
