KB CARS · PRIVATE HIRE
Pre-book private hire from Barnes, Castelnau and across SW13 to St Pancras International. Get a quote for your journey and discuss your departure and luggage with our 24-hour office.
PLAN YOUR DEPARTURE
Choose the right station and plan around the time your train operator asks you to arrive.
St Pancras International and King's Cross are separate railway stations, although they share an Underground station. Eurostar uses the international departure and arrival areas in the Arcade; EMR and Southeastern use the upper concourse, while Thameslink is below ground.
Tell the office when your operator asks you to arrive, not just when your train departs. Eurostar Standard and Plus passengers should follow the arrival time on their ticket, allowing for ticket, security and border checks; the ticket-check deadline is not an arrival target. Road access approaches via Pancras Road from Euston Road, with one-way movement.
PICKUP IN SW13
A pre-booked car can collect you at home in Barnes or Castelnau, so you do not need to take your luggage to a local station and change trains. You will still need to make your way inside St Pancras to your departure area.
Give us your exact pickup address. If your journey starts at a station, specify which one: Barnes station is on Station Road, while Barnes Bridge station is on The Terrace. Hammersmith Bridge is closed to motor traffic, so a car cannot use it even if a walking route does.
ROOM FOR YOUR JOURNEY
Discuss a saloon, estate or MPV with the office, or ask about executive, minivan and luxury options. An estate may suit extra luggage; a six-passenger vehicle is a group option, with luggage considered alongside the seats. Ask the office about seven- or eight-plus-passenger options.
Tell us how many people are travelling and the number and size of cases and cabin bags, as well as any pushchair, folding wheelchair or unusual item. The office can help agree a suitable vehicle for the combined load.
RETURN JOURNEY
For a return to SW13, give the office your arriving train operator or service, origin, date and expected arrival time, along with a contact number. The office will agree a suitable car meeting point separately; a return booking does not automatically retain the outward car or driver.
If your train is delayed or your exit changes, contact the office on 020 8870 8888. Ask the office to confirm any changes to your booking and any revised charge; applicable waiting or changes can affect the cost.
GOOD TO KNOW
The practical details for your car journey and onward train.
Your quote reflects the exact journey and vehicle you need. Send your full pickup address and destination, date and time, passenger and luggage details, train service and requested station-arrival time. Include any extra stop or return you would like to arrange. KB Cars is registered with the ICO; our Privacy Notice explains how we handle your booking information.
An enquiry or quote is not a confirmed booking. KB confirms a booking by SMS and/or email.
Railway assistance inside St Pancras is arranged separately with your train operator; booking the car does not arrange it. The station has lift-based step-free access to its platforms.
Tell the office about your mobility and assistance needs. Guidance to the car and loading ordinary bags or a folding wheelchair can be arranged without charge; discuss any additional escort inside a building and its scope and cost with the office. KB does not currently have wheelchair-accessible vehicles, so a folding chair travels as luggage where suitable.
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.
