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.
- If you have checked luggage: Please contact your chauffeur once you have collected your bags and are leaving baggage reclaim.

Your chauffeur is normally waiting around 10 minutes from the airport and will head to the Express Pick-Up Zone as soon as you let them know you're ready.
