Q: Where & How do we meet the driver?  
A: Unless requested to the contrary, our driver will  meet their passengers by the exit to the customs hall inside the airport terminal, where he/she will be holding a meeting board with the passengers name on it. Please bear in mind that airports get busy, this is why we ask for the passengers mobile phone number so our driver can call the passenger should there be any complications in making contact. So please ensure yours is at hand!

When the driver makes contact, he/she will assist the passengers with their luggage and show the passengers to their vehicle.

In the event that you are unable to make contact with your driver,

please call us on 020-8459-2525 ASAP.

 

Q: How long will the driver wait for us ?  
A: The driver will wait approx 45-60 minutes from the time the plane lands before calling you on your mobile, in the event that the driver is unable to contact you, the driver will make a paging call from the Airport Information desk; wait 15 minutes by the information desk with a meeting broad and then make enquiries with airline staff, customs and immigration. Only then will the driver leave if he has been unable to contact the passenger/s.

 

Q: What happens if the flight is delayed or arrives early?  
A: As we have access to all UK flight arrival and departure boards we will make the necessary adjustments to your booking, to ensure that the driver is there to meet the passenger/s, so rest assured, it makes no difference how early or late the flight is there will be a driver there to meet you. As a norm Cheetah Ltd will not charge extra for this service, however Cheetah Ltd do reserve the right in extreme circumstances. (The definition of Extreme being at the discretion of  Cheetah Ltd), to make a cash charge for any excess of waiting time, parking fees and/or other overhead incurred. However no charges will be made until the driver has contacted the control centre and the control centre sanctions any such charge.

 

Q: what happens if my flight is diverted to another airport?.  

A: We quite often have vehicles within striking distance of Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted & City Airports, so although we cannot guarantee being able to pick you up under these circumstances, we will endeavour to do so and dispatch a vehicle if one is available! 

 

Q: Can I request a male or Female driver or a specific driver?

A: Yes; We appreciate that some clients prefer male or female drivers and quite often request drivers who have picked them up before, so where possible we will be happy to oblige, however if a specific driver, (male or female) is not available Cheetah Ltd reserve the right to send any available driver.
