PRE-BOOKED PRIVATE HIRE

Kensington minicabs and transfers Planned around your journey

Travel to or from Kensington for everyday journeys, airports and stations. Our 24-hour office can quote for your route, timing, vehicle and agreed extras. No app installation needed.

PLAN YOUR JOURNEY

A car for the trip you have in mind

Book a local journey, airport or station transfer, or arrange extra stops and a return with our office. A saloon suits ordinary journeys; ask about an estate for extra luggage, a six-passenger vehicle for a group, or a seven- or eight-plus passenger vehicle. We consider passengers and luggage together before agreeing a suitable vehicle.

For a quote, give us your collection and destination addresses, date and time, passenger and luggage details, plus any flight, train or venue information. Tell us about stops, a return, vehicle preferences or assistance you need. The office will explain the price and agreed extras. An enquiry, quote or payment alone does not confirm a booking: we confirm it by SMS and/or email. KB Cars is registered with the ICO; our Privacy Notice explains how we handle your booking information.

If plans change, the booker or authorised contact should ask the office to accept the new details and any revised charge. Acknowledgment of a request is not acceptance; for a time-critical change, call the office if your message has not been acknowledged.

CHOOSE YOUR JOURNEY

Travel locally or connect further afield

Arrange a journey to or from Kensington, with practical details agreed before booking.

Airport transfers

Travel between Kensington and the airport. Tell us the airport, terminal and flight details; the office can discuss timing, the meeting point, vehicle, return and agreed extras.

Station journeys

For a station connection, give the full station name, train details and intended entrance or address. The office can discuss a lawful, workable meeting point rather than assuming a stopping place.

Local appointments and visits

Pre-book a car for work, shopping, appointments, family visits or an evening out. If you are unsure when you will finish, compare a separate return with reserving a driver to wait.

KENSINGTON COLLECTIONS

Choose a clear meeting point

Give the building and entrance, not just Kensington. For High Street Kensington Underground Station, identify High Street Kensington Station, Kensington High Street, London W8 5SA, and tell the office where you intend to meet. The station address is not a reserved pickup point.

Visiting Kensington Palace? There is no luggage storage, and suitcases and large rolling bags are excluded from palace buildings, so plan what to do with your bags before arriving. Discuss your booked entry, access needs and a lawful meeting point with the office; palace-door access or parking is not assumed.

GOOD TO KNOW

Questions about Kensington journeys

Choose a meeting point, arrange assistance and plan a return with confidence.

Can I arrange collection from a particular building or entrance?

Yes. Give the exact address, building, entrance and relevant access details for your proposed meeting point. The driver must stop safely and lawfully; if the door or private route cannot be used, the office can discuss a workable alternative with you.

What should I provide for an airport or station transfer?

Give the airport terminal or full station name, flight or train details, collection address, destination and intended meeting point. Stay reachable if the proposed access point changes.

Can you help if I have extra luggage or limited walking?

Yes. Tell the office about suitcase and cabin-bag numbers and sizes, pushchairs, unusual items, a folding wheelchair or limited walking tolerance so it can discuss a suitable vehicle and help.

Guidance to the car and loading ordinary bags or a folding wheelchair can be arranged in advance without charge. If you need an escort inside a building, the office will discuss the task and agree any cost. KB does not currently have wheelchair-accessible vehicles; a folding chair can travel as luggage where suitable.

What are my options if I do not know when a visit will finish?

Contact the office when you are ready, reserve the driver to wait under agreed chargeable terms, or book a separate approximate return. A car arranged when you are ready is subject to availability, not guaranteed immediately.

A separate return does not retain the outward driver or automatically secure the same vehicle. Contact the office if you are delayed; waiting or changes may affect the cost.
