What is a meet and greet airport transfer?

It means your driver waits inside the arrivals hall with your name displayed rather than meeting you in the car park or at a taxi rank. They help with your luggage and walk you to the vehicle.

Do you monitor flights for meet and greet bookings?

Yes. We track your inbound flight so the driver is there when you actually land, even if your flight is early or delayed.

Can I have the driver's phone number?

We can provide the driver's contact details for meet and greet bookings so you can reach them if your plans change.

Is meet and greet available at all airports?

We offer meet and greet at Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Luton and other UK airports. Ask when you book and we will confirm the arrangement.

Service

Meet & Greet Airport Transfers

A meet and greet removes the hardest part of arriving: finding your car in an unfamiliar terminal, tired and loaded with luggage. Book a meet and greet and your Western Cars driver will be waiting inside arrivals with your name displayed, ready to take your bags and walk you to the vehicle.

Why choose meet and greet

The value of a meet and greet is highest exactly when you are least able to deal with friction: a late-night landing, an unfamiliar airport, a long-haul flight, children in tow, or a first visit to the UK.

Instead of working out where the taxi rank is and queuing for a car of unknown quality, you walk through arrivals and someone is holding your name. Your bags are taken, the vehicle is already assigned and the price was agreed when you booked.

Popular with business travellers and guests

Companies use meet and greet to look after visiting clients and colleagues, because first impressions at the airport set the tone for the visit. It is also a common request for cruise passengers and for anyone arriving at an airport they do not know.
