PRE-BOOKED STATION TRANSFERS
Private hire from Carshalton and across SM5, planned around your train and luggage. Get a journey-specific quote from our 24-hour office.
PLAN YOUR ARRIVAL
Agree a station-arrival target that leaves you time to reach your departure, rather than using the train departure time as your drop-off time.
Paddington is on Praed Street, but its road approaches differ: the APCOA car-park entrance is on Bishops Bridge Road and the rank approach is separate. Give the office your train departure and requested station-arrival time so the road arrangement can be discussed.
A staffed station assistance drop-off point is listed on the deck above platform 12. Arrange railway assistance with your train operator in advance where possible and discuss your drop-off needs with our office. Heathrow Express and the Elizabeth line provide onward connections to Heathrow; they are separate from your car booking.
YOUR SM5 PICKUP
A home pickup saves you the journey to a local station with your luggage, though you will still need to make your way through Paddington to your departure.
If your pickup is at a station, tell us which one: Carshalton station is on North Street, while Carshalton Beeches is on Station Approach, Gordon Road. They are distinct locations, so the full pickup address helps the office arrange the right journey.
ROOM FOR YOUR JOURNEY
Discuss a saloon, estate or MPV with the office, or ask about executive, minivan and luxury options. An estate can be useful for extra luggage; the right choice depends on the whole party and its bags, not just the seats.
A six-passenger vehicle is an option, with luggage considered alongside the passengers. Ask the office about seven- or eight-plus-passenger vehicles and tell us about larger cases, pushchairs or folding equipment so we can agree a suitable arrangement.
COMING BACK TO SM5
Arrange the return separately with the office. Give us your arriving train operator and service, origin, date and expected arrival time, plus a contact number. We will agree the car meeting point separately; it is not automatically the outward drop-off point.
If your train is delayed or your exit changes, call 020 8870 8888 to discuss the revised collection and obtain confirmation of any accepted change. Applicable waiting or changes can affect the cost.
GOOD TO KNOW
The essentials for your car journey and onward train.
The quote reflects your specific journey and vehicle needs. Send your full pickup address, destination, date and time, passenger and luggage details, train service and requested station-arrival time. Include any extra stop or vehicle preference.
An enquiry, quote or payment alone does not confirm a car. Your booking is confirmed when KB sends its acceptance by SMS and/or email.
Railway assistance inside Paddington is arranged separately with your train operator; booking the car does not arrange it. Tell our office about your mobility and boarding needs when arranging the journey.
Guidance to the car and loading ordinary bags or a folding wheelchair can be arranged without charge. KB does not currently have wheelchair-accessible vehicles, so travelling seated in a wheelchair is not available. An optional escort inside a building is assessed separately, with any cost agreed for the task.
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.
