Executive & airport chauffeurs
Chauffeur service Guildford clients rely on: XLNC Cars sends Executive and VIP cars with vetted, smartly dressed chauffeurs for pickups at Guildford station and the Surrey Research Park, airport runs timed around the A3, events and full days on the road. Corporate accounts are available, and every fare is fixed before you travel, 24 hours a day.

What we cover
Business travel first, occasions second: Guildford is a working town as much as a cathedral town, and these are the six bookings we run most.
Visitors met off the train or collected from the Research Park, then taken to the meeting or the hotel.
Heathrow is about 27 miles away. Flights are tracked, and meet-and-greet with a name board is available.
Standing accounts for regular travel, invoiced once, with one point of contact who knows your schedule.
We plan around the Dennis roundabout in the morning peak, not what the map says at midnight.
Race days at Sandown Park, concerts, an evening in London, with the ride home booked.
Chauffeur-driven, ribbon-dressed cars for the couple and the family, planned around the ceremony and the reception.
Who books it
Mostly three kinds of client, who all want the same thing: a car at the door at the agreed time and a chauffeur who knows the town.
Firms in town and on the Research Park, booking client collections, board meetings and early departures on account.
Visiting academics, open days and the end-of-term run from the University of Surrey, with room for the luggage.
Anniversaries, weddings, hospital appointments at Royal Surrey County Hospital and long journeys, where nobody wants to drive or park.
Fixed fares
We do not publish chauffeur prices, because a station collection and a day of meetings are very different bookings. You get one fixed fare for your journey or your hours before you travel.
The journey or the hours, the vehicle class (Standard Saloon, Executive, VIP and Minibus), and any waiting or extra stops.
Confirmed when you book. A queue on the A3 or a delayed flight does not change the figure.
Businesses book on account without re-quoting every journey. Pay by cash or card, or on invoice.
Pickups and airports
Anywhere in Guildford and the villages around it. The town leaves by the A3 north to M25 Junction 10, so every airport run starts on the same road; these are our regular pickups and the three airports Guildford clients book most.
Visitors met on the forecourt, or inside with a name board if you ask.
Academic visitors, company guests and term-time family runs, just off the A3.
Appointments, homes, hotels and the town centre, collected at the time you set.

Questions
A chauffeur is dedicated to you for the whole booking, drives a higher class of car and plans the journey around you, including waiting between stops. A taxi simply takes you from A to B.
Yes. Guildford businesses hold accounts with us for client collections, meetings and airport runs, invoiced rather than paid per journey.
Heathrow is about 27 miles, typically 35–50 minutes depending on the hour. Gatwick is about 36 miles and 45–65 minutes. Both are quoted as one fixed fare before you travel.
Yes, both are regular pickup points for us, including visiting academics, open days and end-of-term runs.
Yes. Ripley, Shalford and Merrow sit close enough to Guildford that we cover them on exactly the same terms, with a fixed fare agreed before the car arrives.
No. Every XLNC Cars vehicle is chauffeur-driven; we do not hire out cars for self-drive.
Yes. The fare is agreed on your pickup and destination before you travel, and traffic on the A3, a terminal change or a delayed flight does not alter it. There is no meter and no surge pricing.
Often, yes. The booking line runs 24/7, 365 days a year, so a same-day request is worth a call; a day ahead gives the widest choice of class.
Yes, chauffeur-driven and ribbon-dressed as standard. The wedding day has its own page, linked below; get in touch early to check your date.
Yes. The Research Park is part of the University of Surrey, on the edge of Guildford by the A3. We collect visitors there for the station, the airports or another meeting.
Because the A3 backs up around the Dennis roundabout in the morning peak. Where the flight allows, we collect before 06:30 so the run to M25 Junction 10 is clear.
The service
A clean car, the door held and a quiet cabin to work in. Most business clients choose Executive, VIP for board-level guests, or a Minibus for a team.
