Reliable, Good Value

Excellent value for money. We booked a transfer for 6 people to Gatwick in the early hours. All went very smoothly. Compared to the other quotes I received, this was by far the cheapest.

Highly recommend, excellent service

This was our second time using umbrella transfers for airport drop off & pick up. They are excellent, I highly recommend, I very stupidly made a couple of errors with my booking & they changed it last minute with zero issues, they communicate very well, you can track the driver & contact them directly via whatsapp. Reasonable prices. The staff are friendly & very helpful, and the same for both our drivers. We will always use them for any future trips, thank you Umbrella Transfers

Travel with someone else!

Edit: after posting my review, Umbrella Transfers got back in touch to provide a 25% refund. I appreciate their efforts to make things right, though only after publicly providing feedback, and have adjusted my rating to reflect that.

Would not recommend for peace of mind. Taxi was 30 minutes late and nothing but a “thank you for your patience”. Even national rail does better than that with partial refunds for delays.

I reached out to them before I wrote this review because I wanted to give them a chance to correct the situation. They replied to apologize but said because the trip has already been completed, they can’t offer any kind of compensation.

I gave them the opportunity to do better, but unfortunately, they chose not to and as a result, I feel a duty to inform fellow future riders of the unreliability of the service. Save yourself the stress and schedule an Uber instead, they always turn up on time/early.

Reliable airport transfer service in London

I recently used Umbrella Transfers for my airport transfer in London, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. From the moment I booked my Gatwick Airport Taxi to the punctual and professional service at the airport, everything went smoothly. They also offer Heathrow Airport Taxi services, which I will definitely try next time.

If you're looking for a reliable Stansted Airport Taxi or an efficient airport taxi for any of the London airports, I highly recommend Umbrella Transfers. Their attention to detail and customer service make them stand out as a top choice for Gatwick Airport Transfers or any airport taxi London needs. I’ll definitely be using their services again!

Umbrella Transfers are the best transfer company I know.

Drivers are always polite, professional and on time. The service is of the highest quality and there is a support team always available to help with queries.

Value your great service

I arrived to London Heathrow Airport in late evening around 9pm. The driver had arrived early and he texted me. That’s was a big relief for me. He continuously kept in touch with me.
And clear guidance was given about where to meet. The car was very comfortable and he offered me a water bottle and the WiFi password. That was almost 2 and half hour journey and on the way he bought a hot chocolate for me too. He played my preferred music in the car.
And finally, in the hospital he waited till I collect my keys from the hospital.
Therefore, don’t think twice when you decide to book a taxi with this company. You will get a VIP care definitely as name implies.

A great find, especially for long-distance point to point trips.

A great find for a long-distance journey when the trains were up the spout. Very capable driver, made good time and a reasonable price capped it off. They're app is also one of the better ones I've experienced in terms of functionality and journey tracing. Will definitely be using them again.
