Five Pillars of a Rapid Corporate Account

A dedicated logistics partner for finance, law, NHS, professional services, hospitality, events and academic / VIP travel — beyond the three headline benefits, here is what an account actually delivers on a working day:

1. Multi-Traveller Booking Portal

Nominate authorised bookers across your finance, EA, and travel-desk teams. Each booker has individual login, per-booking spending limits, project / cost-centre code enforcement, and CC routing for the named finance contact. There is no per-user fee — add as many bookers as your operation needs. Bookings made via the portal generate immediate confirmation emails to the traveller, the booker and finance.

2. Consolidated Monthly Invoicing With VAT Receipts

One invoice per calendar month covering every booking — itemised by date, passenger name, pickup, destination terminal, vehicle class and project code. VAT receipts produced separately for finance reconciliation. 30-day BACS payment terms as standard, with the option of pro-forma billing for shorter cycles. No joining fee, no monthly minimum, no lock-in contract.

3. Priority Allocation During Peak Hours

Three peak waves where allocation tightens across the cluster: the pre-dawn 03:00–05:00 Heathrow / Gatwick departure surge, the Friday City close-of-business return wave (16:00–19:00), and the Sunday evening transatlantic Heathrow / Gatwick arrival wave (19:00–23:00). Corporate bookings sit at the front of the chauffeur allocation queue across all three peaks — no surge pricing, guaranteed allocation.

4. Dedicated Account Manager

A named operational contact who knows your business — your usual routes, vehicle preferences, recurring traveller list, billing contact, the directors and partners who prefer Executive class as standard. Direct line, direct email, escalation path for last-minute changes. No call queue, no IVR menu, no generic shared inbox.

5. Mixed-Brand Fleet Including Executive Class

Saloon, Estate, MPV 6-seat and 8-seat minibus tiers across Toyota, Ford, Mercedes, VW and Skoda — plus Executive Saloon (Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 and equivalent) for VIP transfers, with premium leather, quieter cabin, Wi-Fi on request and full back-seat work setup. PHV-licensed by Three Rivers District Council, every driver DBS-checked, every vehicle hire-and-reward insured.

6. Full London Airport Coverage Plus Ports

Heathrow Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 (BA T5 long-haul, Star Alliance T2, Virgin / Oneworld T3, SkyTeam T4); Gatwick North and South Terminals; Luton drop-off zone direct (no DART shuttle); Stansted single forecourt; London City — the Canary Wharf and City of London specialist. Plus Southampton, Portsmouth, Dover and Harwich cruise ports, Eurotunnel Folkestone, and Bristol regional airport — all on one account, one invoice.

Corporate Account FAQs

Payment, invoicing, multi-traveller portal, industry coverage and setup timelines

30-day BACS payment terms on monthly consolidated invoices. Each invoice itemises every booking by date, passenger name, route, vehicle class and project / cost-centre code. VAT receipts are produced separately for finance reconciliation. Setup is free — there is no joining fee, no monthly minimum spend and no contract lock-in. Accounts are usually live within 24 hours of application.
Every airport in our network is included: Heathrow (T2/T3/T4/T5), Gatwick (North & South terminals), Luton, Stansted, London City — plus Southampton regional and Bristol regional. Cruise ports (Southampton, Portsmouth, Dover, Harwich) and Eurotunnel Folkestone are also covered under the same account, with one consolidated monthly invoice across all destinations.
Yes. Our multi-traveller booking portal lets you nominate authorised bookers, set per-booker spending limits, require project / cost-centre codes on each booking, and route booking confirmations to both the traveller and the named finance contact. There is no per-user fee — add as many bookers as your operation needs.
Corporate bookings sit at the front of the chauffeur allocation queue. During peak hours — pre-dawn Heathrow / Gatwick wave (03:00–05:00), Friday afternoon City close-of-business, Sunday evening international return wave — corporate bookings are guaranteed allocation while non-account bookings may face availability limits.
Executive Saloon class is available on every corporate booking and can be set as the default vehicle class for nominated senior staff. Executive class adds premium leather upholstery, quieter cabin acoustics, Wi-Fi on request, and a full back-seat work setup. See our executive chauffeur page for the full vehicle list — Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 and equivalent.
City of London finance houses and Canary Wharf banks (LCY transfers), Magic Circle and US law firms, NHS consultant and visiting medical staff transfers, professional services firms (PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, EY scale), defence contractors, university VIP and academic guest visits, conference and event organisers, heritage tourism operators (English Heritage / National Trust visitor returns), film and TV production unit transport, and embassy / consular diplomatic transfers.
UK VAT is added at standard rate on all invoices. International companies receive a VAT invoice they can reclaim through the 13th VAT Directive process. Non-VAT-registered customers (charities, embassies, certain education entities) can apply for zero-rated invoicing where eligibility documentation is provided. Multi-currency invoicing is not standard but can be arranged on enterprise-tier accounts.
Yes — short-term event accounts are common. Tell us the event date range, expected booking volume, the airports involved and the venue. We allocate a dedicated dispatcher for the duration of the event, provide a shared booking portal accessible to the event manager, and produce a single consolidated invoice after the event. Conference organisers, professional sports teams and film unit moves all use this pattern.
Our pricing is already fixed-fare with no surge, no holiday surcharge and no airline-delay loading. Account holders pay the same published per-route rate that's locked at booking. Higher-volume accounts (over £5,000 monthly) may negotiate route-specific preferred rates on regular corridors — typically the M25-Heathrow and M25-Gatwick lanes. Volume rebates are credit-noted quarterly rather than discounted on the invoice.
Application via the form on this page is reviewed within 24 hours. Your dedicated account manager calls within that window to finalise credit terms, set up your multi-traveller portal, confirm authorised bookers and agree project / cost-centre coding. First booking can typically be placed the same business day the application is reviewed.
