Now you may be thinking, “Why on earth would I pay huge amounts of money when I can just book a taxi or an Uber?”. This is not an unreasonable question to ask, as hiring a chauffeur company to transport you to Heathrow or Gatwick is an undeniably expensive affair. However, several advantages come with utilising luxury airport transfers as opposed to a taxi service or public transport. The five most prevalent benefits include:
1. The Usefulness of Flight-Tracking
When you’re in a hurry to get on an important transatlantic flight to London City Airport, the last thing you want is for the driver to time the journey incorrectly, causing you to rush through the airport once you arrive. By contrast, Phantom Hire’s expert team of chauffeurs utilise flight-tracking to keep tabs on the progress of your flight, guaranteeing you a timely and stress-free journey allowing them to make adjustments to the trip in the event of delays.
2. Navigating The London Traffic

London is one of the busiest cities in the world, never mind the UK, and navigating its bustling streets & crammed roads would be a challenge for even the most talented driver. Thankfully, Phantom Hire’s professional chauffeurs know the city inside and out, which allows them to plan out the perfect route to get you to the airport on schedule without having to rely on a sat-nav or online maps tool.
Whether you need a London Heathrow airport transfer from your home in Marylebone or need to get to a fancy restaurant in Kensington using our London City Airport chauffeur services, we’ll make sure to take you on a journey that eliminates the stress caused by London traffic.
3. Lack of Hassle
Calling a taxi is an aneurysm-inducing process even at the best of times. We know full well that everyone has had a difficult experience trying to book an Uber or wave down a cab, which combined with the already nerve-wracking airport experience, can make travel throughout London utterly unbearable.
However, when you book with Phantom Hire, you won’t have to worry about a thing. Our highly experienced chauffeurs will see to your every need throughout the journey, including helping you in and out of the car, getting your bags out once you reach the airport, and helping you find security once you arrive.
4. Increased Elegance & Comfort

Simply put, travelling to the airport in a chauffeur driven car is far more comfortable than a typical taxi service. At Phantom Hire, the diverse range of luxury cars available within our fleet are all equipped to provide you with the most relaxing and enjoyable journey possible, thanks to their spacious rear cabin, plush seating and stunning interior lighting.
On top of that, our fleet includes some of the best luxury cars on the market. Phantom Hire is the home of the world’s biggest collection of Rolls-Royces, on top of stunning limousines like the H2 White Hummer and high-octane supercars like the Lamborghini. With so many elegant cars to pick from, you can be sure to expect a service that will stun anyone who sees you.
5. Customisable Service
Thanks to the range of cars available from Phantom Hire, your journey can be customised to your heart’s content. Whether you’re drawn to the gleaming Rolls-Royce Phantom 8 or gravitate more towards the dazzling Baby Bentley Limo, we’ll have something that will make your experience with Phantom Hire not only glamorous but perfectly attuned to your personal tastes.
