Who uses our hotel transfers
Chessington draws visitors all year. Families come for the theme park and zoo at Chessington World of Adventures, and there are hotels on the resort as well as in Kingston, Surbiton, Epsom and Esher. Business guests stay nearby for meetings in Kingston, Leatherhead and along the M25. Wedding parties book rooms for a night near a venue. All of them need a reliable way to reach the hotel with luggage.
We also help hotel receptions that want a dependable local number to give guests who ask for a taxi to the airport or a station.
Airport to hotel: how it works
When you land, your driver is already tracking your flight, so a delay or an early arrival does not leave you stranded. With meet and greet, the driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a name board, helps with your bags and walks you to the car. From Heathrow the drive to a Chessington hotel is typically 30 to 45 minutes, and from Gatwick a similar time via the M23 and M25.
For the return trip, tell us your flight time and we will suggest a sensible pickup time from the hotel, allowing for traffic and check-in. See our Chessington to Heathrow taxi and Chessington to Gatwick taxi pages for route details.
Hotel to station transfers
Many guests arrive by train. From Waterloo station a taxi to a Chessington hotel takes you straight to the door, which beats changing trains with heavy cases. We also collect from Surbiton station, whose fast services link to Waterloo, and from Victoria station if you arrived on the Gatwick Express.
Groups, families and events
A family of five with suitcases will not fit in a saloon. Our 7 seater taxi carries larger groups with their luggage in one car, which is simpler and often cheaper than booking two. For weddings, parties and conferences, we can plan several cars to move guests between the hotel and the venue at set times.
If a guest is travelling with a dog, we can arrange a pet friendly taxi as long as you let us know when booking.
Business stays and conferences
For business travellers staying near Kingston or Leatherhead, we can arrange a car from the airport to the hotel, then to meetings and back. If you are organising a conference, tell us the numbers and times and we will plan cars to move delegates between hotels and the venue.
What to tell us when you book
- The hotel name and address, and the pickup or drop-off time.
- Your flight number or train arrival time for arrivals.
- How many passengers, suitcases and any bulky items like pushchairs or golf bags.
- Whether you need a child seat, which we provide on request.
- Your mobile number so the driver can contact you.
We confirm every booking by email with the fixed fare, so there are no surprises when you check out.
