The Complete Guide to Booking a Reliable Executive Airport Transfer

The short answer: a reliable executive airport transfer is pre-booked with a licensed private hire operator, gives you the price before you pay, tracks your flight live, includes free waiting after landing, publishes clear cancellation terms, and gives you a direct contact for the day. This guide covers each one, and exactly how booking with Executive Airport Transfer works.

Who are Executive Airport Transfer?

Executive Airport Transfer is a private hire chauffeur service run by Paul Fullerton, a licensed private hire chauffeur based in Ormskirk, West Lancashire. It is one owner-driver, not a national network, an app or a booking agency, so the person you book is the person who drives you. The car is an all-electric Mercedes EQV (V-Class) for up to 6 passengers, with a starlight ceiling, TVs and a fridge. Pick-ups are within about 20 miles of Ormskirk as standard, and further afield for longer journeys. Drop-offs can be anywhere in the UK.

What should you check before booking an airport transfer?

• Licensing: the operator and driver should be licensed for private hire. It is fair to ask before you book.
• Price before payment: you should see the full price for your journey before you pay.
• Flight tracking: the driver should follow your flight, so a delay or early landing does not leave you stranded or cost you more.
• Free waiting: look for a clear amount of free waiting after landing. Ours is 60 minutes from the actual landing time. After that, additional waiting charges may apply, and if a delay runs on we may send another vehicle and driver or cancel the journey, as we may have other clients booked.
• Cancellation terms: they should be written down before you pay.
• A direct contact: someone you can reach before and during the journey, not a general inbox.
• The right vehicle: enough seats and luggage space for everyone, plus child seats if you need them.

How do you book with Executive Airport Transfer?

1. Get an instant quote. Enter your pick-up, drop-off, date, time, passengers and luggage on the booking page.
2. Book and pay up front online. Payment is taken securely when you book, so it is all done before you travel.
3. Get your confirmation email straight away, with your journey details.
4. Get a WhatsApp from Paul. This is your personal 24/7 contact for the journey.
5. Travel. On the way out, you are collected from your door. Coming home, message us once you have your bags and walk to the airport’s express pick-up point, where the car will be waiting.

No phone call is needed at any point. Add anything unusual, such as golf bags, a wheelchair, children’s ages or a gate code, to the booking notes.

What does the cancellation policy say?

Our terms are short and published on the booking and cancellation policy page:

• Full refund if you cancel 7 or more days before pick-up.
• 50% refund if you cancel between 48 hours and 7 days before pick-up.
• No refund for cancellations under 48 hours before pick-up, or for no-shows.
• One free date or time change, up to 48 hours before pick-up, subject to availability.
• If we ever have to cancel, you get a full refund.

What happens on the day of your transfer?

For a departure, the car arrives at your door at the agreed time. We load the luggage, you settle into the cabin, and we drive you to the departures forecourt of your terminal, as close to the doors as the airport allows. Early starts are no problem: we work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

For the return, we follow your flight live from take-off. When you have collected your bags, you send a message and walk to the express pick-up point, and the car is there. If you are going on somewhere other than home, such as a hotel, an office or a family address, add it when you book.

Which airports and journeys can you book?

Every UK airport, including Manchester, Liverpool John Lennon, Leeds Bradford, Birmingham and the London airports. We also drive to cruise terminals and ferry ports such as Liverpool, Birkenhead and Cairnryan.

It is not only airports. The same car and driver cover weddings, proms and concerts, nights out, family days out, corporate travel and long-distance journeys anywhere in the UK.

Where can you be picked up from?

Within about 20 miles of Ormskirk as standard, which covers West Lancashire and much of Merseyside and the surrounding North West. That includes Ormskirk, Aughton, Burscough, Skelmersdale, Southport, Maghull, Formby, St Helens and Wigan. See the towns we cover. Drop-offs can be anywhere in the UK. For longer journeys we can collect further afield too, for example from any UK airport, but not for short local journeys a long way from base.
