One-Way Chauffeur Hire, Priced for a Single Journey
Moving into a new flat, heading to a hotel for a few nights, catching a flight or starting a week away in the country? When there is no fixed time to come back, a one-way transfer is the sensible booking. You pay for the trip you take and nothing more.
It is exactly what it sounds like: we collect you at point A and take you to point B. Your chauffeur loads the bags, drives you there, and unloads at the other end. We run one-way trips anywhere in London, to every London airport, and to towns and cities across the UK.
Why Book a One-Way Chauffeur With LWL?
A black cab can be fine for a short hop. For anything with luggage, distance or a deadline, here is why clients book us instead:
Help With Everything, Start to Finish
Your chauffeur takes care of the bags, the doors and the route. You get in, sit back and get out at your destination without lifting anything heavier than your phone.
Book Even the Night Before
Plans made in advance or at the last minute are both fine. You can book as late as the night before, subject to availability, and you will get the same car and the same service.
Easy to Change
If your pickup time moves or you need to go somewhere else, just let us know. We update the booking and brief the chauffeur straight away.
The Quickest Route on the Day
Chauffeurs check live traffic before they leave and keep checking on the way. If the A40 is blocked or the Blackwall Tunnel is backed up, they already know a better way round.
Wi-Fi on Board
Every car has Wi-Fi, so you can join a call, finish some emails or watch something on the way.
Private and Confidential
Every chauffeur signs a non-disclosure agreement. Take the call, talk freely, and know that none of it leaves the car.
Airport Runs, Business Trips and Weekends Away
One-way transfers work whenever you know when you are leaving but not when you are coming back. The most common is the airport run: from your home, hotel or serviced apartment to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City or Southend, with time to spare before check-in.
We also drive clients to offices, conference venues and meetings in London and in other UK cities. For leisure trips, we will take you from your door to a country hotel, a friend's house or a weekend cottage, so the holiday starts the moment you close the car door.
Cars for a Comfortable One-Way Trip
All our cars are kept clean, serviced and ready for long distances as well as short hops. Here is how to choose:
Mercedes E-Class
A comfortable, quiet business saloon for one to three passengers. The sensible choice for most airport runs and business trips.
Mercedes S-Class
More room in the back, a smoother ride and a quieter cabin. Worth it for longer journeys or when you want to arrive properly rested.
Mercedes V-Class
Seats up to seven with space for plenty of luggage. Ideal for families, groups travelling together or anyone moving a lot of bags.
Range Rover and BMW i7
The Range Rover is roomy and has a strong presence on arrival. The BMW i7 is fully electric, very quiet, and has a large rear entertainment screen for longer drives.
Flexible Pickup and Drop-Off
Here is how our one-way service works:
Any Pickup, Any Destination
Collect from a home, hotel or office and go to any address in London, anywhere in the UK, or further afield. We confirm the fare before you book.
Change Plans Without Price Surprises
You can change the pickup time or address at short notice. If the new journey is the same distance, the price stays the same.
On Time and Looked After
Your chauffeur arrives early, handles the luggage and takes the best route on the day, so you arrive relaxed and on time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our one-way chauffeur hire service in London — answered in full detail below.
A one-way chauffeur service is a single-direction transfer that takes you from your chosen pickup location directly to your destination — with no return journey included or required. Unlike a return transfer, which involves the vehicle and chauffeur collecting you and then bringing you back at an agreed time, a one-way hire is priced and planned purely for the outward journey. This makes it the ideal option for airport departures, one-off business trips, relocations, staycations, and any journey where your return arrangements are either not yet confirmed, handled separately, or not required from the same location. At LWL, our one-way chauffeur service delivers the same premium standard of vehicle, presentation, and professional service as any other booking — with pricing that reflects a single journey rather than a round trip.
LWL's one-way chauffeur service can take you to virtually any destination — across London, throughout the UK, or to international departure points including all six major London airports and private aviation terminals. Popular one-way destinations include all London airports for departing flights, hotel and serviced apartment drop-offs for business travellers and leisure guests, corporate offices and conference venues across the city, and countryside or coastal destinations for short breaks and staycations. For longer one-way journeys beyond Greater London — such as transfers to cities like Manchester, Edinburgh, or Birmingham — we are equally well-equipped to manage the full journey professionally and comfortably. Simply provide your pickup and drop-off addresses at the time of booking and we will confirm pricing and availability immediately.
Yes. LWL's flexible booking system is specifically designed to accommodate short-notice and same-day one-way transfer requests. You can book your single-journey transfer even the night before your required travel time, and our team will confirm your booking, assign your chauffeur, and prepare your vehicle without delay. For truly last-minute requests — including same-day bookings made just a few hours before the required pickup — our dispatch team will always do its utmost to fulfil your requirement with the same standard of service as a pre-planned booking, subject to vehicle and chauffeur availability. We recommend booking as early as possible to guarantee your preferred vehicle, but we will never turn away a last-minute request without first exhausting every option available to fulfil it.
LWL's full premium fleet is available for one-way hire, allowing you to choose the vehicle that best suits your group size, luggage requirements, and personal preference for a single journey. Our Mercedes E-Class is ideal for individual executives and professionals travelling solo or with a colleague. The Mercedes S-Class delivers the ultimate in single-journey luxury for VIP and high-profile clients. The Mercedes V-Class comfortably accommodates groups of up to 7 passengers with generous luggage capacity — making it an excellent choice for family or group one-way transfers. The Range Rover provides commanding authority and elevated comfort for those who prefer an SUV profile. The BMW i7 offers a uniquely extraordinary one-way experience with its fully electric, technology-forward interior. All vehicles are impeccably maintained and can be personalised with child seats, pet arrangements, and specific amenities upon request.
Yes. LWL is fully flexible when it comes to modifying a confirmed one-way booking. If your pickup location or drop-off address changes after the initial booking has been made, simply contact our team as early as possible and we will update your booking immediately. Importantly, if the distance between the revised pickup and new drop-off location is the same as originally quoted, your price will remain unchanged — there are no penalty fees or re-booking charges for standard location modifications within the same distance bracket. For changes that result in a longer journey, any pricing adjustment will be communicated transparently before it is applied, so you always have complete clarity on your total cost before confirming the change.
Yes — airport transfers are one of the most popular applications of LWL's one-way chauffeur service. Whether you are departing from a home, hotel, or office address to any of London's six major airports — Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City, or Southend — our one-way airport transfer provides the most stress-free, punctual, and comfortable way to begin any journey by air. Your chauffeur monitors real-time traffic conditions from hours before your pickup, arrives ahead of schedule, assists with all luggage, and ensures you reach the terminal with ample time to spare. For private jet departures, we also provide fully managed one-way tarmac transfers to FBO and private aviation terminals across London and the South East.
Yes, absolutely. LWL's one-way chauffeur service fully accommodates passengers travelling with children and pets. We provide complimentary child seats and booster seats upon request — simply specify the ages and number of children at the time of booking and your chauffeur will ensure all seats are correctly fitted and ready before your pickup. For passengers travelling with pets, we welcome well-behaved animals and can arrange comfortable pet seating or a cosy pet bed upon request. Our chauffeurs are experienced in managing family travel with children and pets, ensuring the one-way journey is as relaxed, unhurried, and enjoyable for every member of the family as it is for the adults.
Yes. LWL's one-way chauffeur service operates around the clock, every day of the year — including weekends, bank holidays, and the festive season. One-way transfers are required at every hour of the day and night — from pre-dawn airport departures and late-night arrivals, to early morning business pickups and post-event transfers in the early hours. Our dispatch team is always available to confirm bookings, respond to last-minute requests, and ensure your one-way transfer is confirmed and your chauffeur assigned regardless of the time of day or night. You can reach us at any time via phone, email, or WhatsApp, and we will respond immediately.
Yes, completely. LWL applies its strict no-hidden-charges policy to all one-way chauffeur bookings. The fare quoted at the time of booking is the fare you pay — there are no surprise additions for standard luggage assistance, real-time route planning, or chauffeur waiting time within reason. If your drop-off location changes but the distance remains the same, the price remains unchanged. For one-way journeys involving toll roads, congestion charges, or airport drop-off fees, these are always communicated transparently within your quote so there are no surprises on your receipt. Our one-way rates are competitively priced and represent genuine value for the quality, comfort, and professionalism of the service delivered — because we believe a single journey deserves exactly the same standard of luxury as any other LWL booking.
Booking your one-way chauffeur transfer with LWL is quick, simple, and completely hassle-free.

Please provide your pickup address, drop-off destination, preferred date and time, number of passengers, vehicle preference, and any special requirements — such as child seats, pet arrangements, luggage specifications, or in-vehicle amenities — and we will confirm your booking and provide a fully transparent price immediately. We accept both advance bookings and last-minute requests, and our team is always ready to fulfil your one-way transfer requirement with the same level of luxury, professionalism, and care regardless of how much notice is given.
