    The only permitted travel is Assistance Dogs, under the Equality Act 2010, taxi and private hire vehicle (PHV) drivers in the UK must carry assistance dogs (such as guide or hearing dogs) at no extra charge. A driver can only refuse an assistance dog if they hold a valid medical exemption certificate (usually for severe allergies) issued by their local authority, which must be clearly displayed in the vehicle.

  • Short Trips Of 20 Minutes or Under

    Kindly send the details of your enquiry by text or WhatsApp to +44 7788 665846 — Name, pickup address, time, drop‑off location, and how many people will be travelling.

  • Event or Venue Pickups Are No Longer Available After 23:00 Hours

    Apologies, I no longer provide a pickup service from events or venues after 23:00 hrs, this is due to early morning airport drop-off or pickup bookings, whereby I need enough rest to avoid driver fatigue.

  • Airport Bookings

    No additional charges apply for unsociable hours or public holidays. The price quoted covers all airport fees. GUARANTEED.

  • What I Need From You for Airport Terminal Transfers

    You must have confirmed travel dates, times, and a UK return flight number if returning to the UK before a quotation can be provided.

  • Heathrow, Gatwick, Bournemouth and Southampton Airports

    I offer convenient pickup and drop‑off services across Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, West Sussex, and Surrey, ensuring seamless, stree-free travel from start to finish

  • Airport Travel Guide Times

    To help your journey run smoothly, you can use Google Maps to estimate your travel time, remembering to include any additional pickups. Please note that Google Maps is not always fully accurate. I recommend adding an extra 30–45 minutes to allow for potential delays for Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted airports, such as loading luggage, traffic slow‑downs, roadworks, diversions, or incidents. Travel from Hythe, the New Forest, or Southampton, this additional time is already reflected in the guidance below to help you arrive relaxed and with plenty of time to spare.

  • Working Out Your Airport Pickup Time

    Your airline will specify how early to arrive—normally 2 hours before UK and European flights, and 3 hours for long haul. Use that advice together with the guide below to work out when to leave home. Just add the two together and count back from your departure time. Do this, and you’ll waltz into the airport as cool as a cucumber, ready for a stress free start to your holiday.
  • Heathrow T5  2 Hours
    Heathrow T2, T3, T4  2 Hours 15 Minutes
    Gatwick  3 Hours
    Bournemouth  55 Minutes
    Southampton  40 Minutes
    Luton (Drop-off only)  2 Hours 45 Minutes
    Stansted (Drop-off only)  3 Hours 15 Minutes
  • Airport Example How To Calculate A Pickup Time
    Gatwick  
    Flight Departure 08:15 Hours
    Check In Time 2 Hours Before Departure
    Travelling Time 3 Hours
    Total 5 Hours
    Pickup Time 03:15 Hours

  • Cruise Ship Boarding Advice
    Your cruise line will provide your official boarding time and terminal allocation, usually 2–3 weeks before departure. These details are essential, as cruise lines only allow boarding within your assigned time window. Please wait until you receive your confirmed embarkation time before completing this enquiry form. This ensures your drop-off aligns perfectly with the cruise line’s schedule and avoids unnecessary delays or long waits at the terminal. If you choose to estimate your time before receiving your official documents, please be aware that adjusting your pickup later can be difficult due to my fixed schedules. I will always do my best to accommodate changes, but it is strongly recommended to return once your boarding time is confirmed.

  • Cruise Disembarkation Advice
    Your cruise line will provide your official disembarkation time while you are onboard, usually a day or two before arrival in port, unless you have priority disembarkation. You now have four options when arranging your collection:

    1—The most accurate and recommended option is to wait for your confirmed disembarkation time.

    2—Book for 09:45 hrs as a safe default—I will always try to assist if you are permitted to leave the ship earlier.

    3—Book 10:00 hrs or 10:30 hrs the latest time, but you will not be able to move either time.

    4—Call on the day around 07:00 hrs—I will help where possible, but availability at short notice cannot be guaranteed.

    Waiting for your confirmed time ensures your collection is accurate and helps avoid delays or long waits at the cruise port terminal. Please note that it will take me 45minutes from your call to reach the terminal.

  • Cruise Ship Quote Requirements
    Quotes will only be issued once you have received your official boarding time from the cruise line. This is normally confirmed 2–3 weeks before departure. Once your boarding time has been provided, I will be able to give you an accurate quote and you will then be able to secure your enquiry as a confirmed booking. This policy is in place to prevent customers from guessing estimated times in advance. If I were to allocate a slot without the confirmed information from the cruise line, it often leads to last‑minute changes which can’t be done or cancellations. In those situations, refunds aren’t possible, as I may already have other transfers scheduled. To ensure every customer receives a reliable and fair service, quotes are only issued once your official boarding time has been confirmed.

  • Sightseeing, Attractions & Tours

    To help your day run smoothly, please check that your preferred attraction is available on your chosen date and secure your tickets online in advance. Allow around 3 hours for any attraction to walk around like Stonehenge, Salisbury, Winchster, Warner Bros Studios, Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey), Windsor Castle or Bombay Sapphire Gin Distillery or 5-6 hours for a full day excursion, plus travelling time, to ensure everything fits within your planned timeframe.

  • St Pancras International Train Station

    Sorry, I only offer drop‑offs at St Pancras International Train Station. Unfortunately, I’m unable to provide pickups from there due to several ongoing issues, including the inability to reliably track train timings, frequent cancellations, no waiting policy and the lack of suitable parking facilities in Central London.

  • Safeguarding Policy

    For any additional pickups or drop-offs, full addresses must be provided. Without this information, your request will be DECLINED and placed at the back of the queue until the details are supplied. This policy is in place to ensure accuracy and safeguards both parties.

  • How To Keep The Quote Low

    If you can keep your pickup and drop‑off to a single address, your wallet will thank you—each additional stop increases the cost of your quote.

  • Quotation Policy Update

    Airport fees and operational costs are changing at an alarming rate at the moment which are outside of my control. For this reason, quotations are only being provided if your travel falls within 4 months of your travel date, as I will then have a better idea of the price for your trip. See below.

  • Quotations are only be issued when your travel date falls within 4 months from today's date:

  • Child & Booster Seat Policy - UK Law For Private Hire & Taxis

    Sorry I do not provide or store these, for the safety and comfort of all passengers, Keith’s Private Hire follows current UK child‑seat regulations for licensed Private Hire and Taxi vehicles. Due to the hundreds of child seats on the market — each is suited to different ages, sizes and safety requirements — it isn’t possible to guarantee the correct seat for every child. There are also important hygiene and storage considerations, so I’m unable to store personal child seats while you are away if you choose to bring your own. Under UK regulations for Private Hire & Taxis, children may travel without a child seat only when seated in the rear and facing forward: - Aged 3 or over: they must wear an adult seat belt - Under 3: they may travel without a seat belt.
