Where Will My Chauffeur Collect Me?
We collect passengers from the Express Pick-Up Zone, located on the ground floor of the Terminal 2 West Multi-Storey Car Park (P3).
Using the Express Pick-Up Zone allows us to avoid unnecessary delays and ensures you can begin your journey quickly and comfortably.
When Should I Contact My Driver?
Timing is important to make your collection as smooth as possible.
