Hi all,

Need some recommendations for a taxi firm to do DTCI as an alternative to Tristar. We want to make use of the the DTCI again, and it's about £60 with Tristar from hotels on airport, which I'll pay if I can't find an alternative, but I'm always looking for a good price.

So if anyone knows a firm that a) knows where they're going to get to the UC wing, b) knows the setup and what to do, i.e. giving out required details to pass on to VS for security, please let me know.

Cheers,
John

I just call from the car (whichever cab I am in) with the details. Never had an issue. Not as swanky as Tristar normally...

I did get a quote from ichauffeur but it was only £5 less than booking Tristar through VS so for all the potential hassles I picked Tristar.

John, when you get to your hotel book a cab for the time you need but tell them you need the number plate an hour before pick up. The concierge did all the work. We did this for miami in June and they called me with the REG, I then called the UC wing.

£45 from SW15 to LHR T3 in an E Class Mercedes (or similar).

They always send the Drivers info through about an hour before collection.

Brilliant Dom thanks.


They have always been at our house ahead of scheduled time with a text message or a call to say they're waiting outside y)
I'm very tempted to use them for my SA trip in November as I have to drop my Dog to Mum and Dads house just passed Swindon on the M4 rather than train to Paddington to have to come back to LHR I'll have to see what Mrs Hull is doing that day.

Does anyone know the actual address or postcode of the Upper Class Wing to give to drivers? It's not on the website, and neither is it on my last confirmation of DTCI booked via VS.

Cheers

shouldnt any airport taxi firm worth their salt know where the upper class wing is?
but your question is a good one.
