FAQs

Questions? We've got answers.

Everything people usually ask us about booking, prices and airport pickups. Still stuck? Just give us a call.

Are you really open 24/7?

Yes. We run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including early-morning airport runs and late-night pickups.

How do I book?

Three ways: book online at watlingcarsbooking.co.uk, use the Watling Cars app on iPhone or Android, or call us on 020 8905 7744.

Is the price fixed?

Your fare is agreed when you book, based on a direct journey. Extra charges only apply for things like extra stops, a change of route or waiting beyond the free period. Full details are in our terms and conditions.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track your flight, so your driver adjusts if you land early or late. You get 20 minutes of free waiting from the time your flight lands.

Where will my driver meet me at the airport?

In the arrivals hall, holding a board with your name on it. You'll have your driver's details before the journey so you can call them if you need to.

Do you have bigger cars for groups and luggage?

Yes. We have saloons, estates, executive cars, MPVs and 8-seaters. Tell us how many people and bags when you book. For groups of 9 or more, we can send more than one car.

Can I pay by card?

Yes, card payments are accepted. You can also pay by card when you book online or in the app.

Do you provide child seats?

Child seats aren't legally required in licensed minicabs and we don't supply them, but you're welcome to bring your own.

Can I bring my dog?

Assistance dogs always travel with no extra charge. For pets, tell us when you book so we send a suitable car.

Can you carry a wheelchair?

We can carry a folding wheelchair in the boot. Let us know when you book so we send the right car.

How do I cancel a booking?

Call us or email info@watlingcars.com as early as you can, with your booking reference. Card bookings cancelled at least 12 hours before pickup can be refunded. See our terms for full details.

I left something in the car. What do I do?

Call us on 020 8905 7744 as soon as possible with your booking details and we'll check with your driver.

Are you licensed?

Yes. Watling Radio Cars Ltd is a private hire operator licensed by Transport for London, and every driver holds a TfL private hire licence.
