CR8 to London Waterloo station transfers
Pre-book private hire from your Purley or Riddlesdown address to Waterloo. Get a quote for your journey and vehicle, and plan your arrival with our 24-hour office.
PLAN YOUR ARRIVAL
Plan your arrival at Waterloo
Your train departure time is not the same as the time you need to reach the station. Give our office your service and the arrival time requested by your operator so we can plan your CR8 pickup around it.
Passenger Assistance point
If you have arranged Passenger Assistance with your train operator, the meeting point is on the main concourse opposite platform 12. Tell our office about your mobility needs for the car; railway assistance is arranged separately.
YOUR CR8 STARTING POINT
Pickup from Purley or Riddlesdown
A pre-booked car collects you at your CR8 address, avoiding the need to reach a local station with your luggage before continuing to Waterloo. You will still need to make your way from the station drop-off to your departure area.
Purley and Riddlesdown are distinct rail origins: Purley station is on Station Approach, Whytecliffe Road, while Riddlesdown station is on Lower Barn Road. Tell us your actual pickup address rather than assuming either station is your starting point.
ROOM FOR YOUR JOURNEY
Choose room for people and luggage
Discuss a saloon, estate or MPV with our office, or ask about executive, minivan and luxury options. An estate may suit extra luggage; a six-passenger vehicle is another group option, while seven- and eight-plus-passenger vehicles can be requested.
Tell us the number and sizes of suitcases and cabin bags, plus any pushchair, folded wheelchair or unusual item. We will consider the whole party and its luggage together when agreeing a suitable vehicle.
RETURN JOURNEY
Return from Waterloo to CR8
A Waterloo-to-CR8 return can be arranged separately. Give the office your arriving train operator and service, origin, travel date, scheduled arrival time and contact number; we will agree a suitable car meeting point with you.
If your train is delayed or your exit or plans change, call KB Cars on 020 8870 8888. Ask the office to confirm the revised arrangement and any change to the charge. A separate return does not automatically retain your outward driver or vehicle.
GOOD TO KNOW
Questions about your Waterloo transfer
The essentials for your car journey and onward train.
What do you need for a quote?
Your quote is based on the exact journey and vehicle you need. Send your full pickup address, destination, date and time, passenger and luggage details, train service and the operator’s requested station-arrival time. Include any extra stop so it can be reflected in the quote. KB Cars is registered with the ICO; our Privacy Notice explains how we handle your booking information.
What if I need help inside the station?
Arrange Passenger Assistance inside Waterloo separately with your train operator; booking the car does not arrange it. Tell our office about your mobility and boarding needs so we can discuss the car journey.
Guidance to the car and loading ordinary bags or a folding wheelchair can be arranged without charge. An optional escort inside a building is assessed separately, with any charge agreed for the task. KB does not currently have wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
Does the transfer include my onward ticket?
Your car journey and rail ticket are separate bookings. Keep the service details to hand so the transfer can be arranged around the right departure.
