In short
The journey from Heathrow to Cheltenham is 85 miles and takes 1 hr 45 min to 2 hr 15 min by road, via M25 to M4, then A419, or M40 to A40.
We collect from Heathrow Airport and drive directly to Cheltenham, 85 miles and about 1 hr 45 min to 2 hr 15 min. Your flight is tracked, so a delay moves the pickup rather than costing you the car.
The journey
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal holding a name board, after tracking your flight in. If the flight moves, the pickup moves with it — you are not paying for a car that left without you.
The route runs M25 to M4, then A419, or M40 to A40 — 85 miles in total, around 1 hr 45 min to 2 hr 15 min depending on traffic and time of day. One driver, one car, no changes and no connections to miss.
One stop, usually Membury or Gloucester services. At 85 miles this is a single-leg run for most passengers, though we will stop whenever you ask.
We drop wherever you need in and around Cheltenham — Cheltenham Racecourse, the Regency town centre, GCHQ and Cheltenham Spa station are all regular destinations. Door to door, with luggage carried to the entrance.
Meeting you
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal holding a name board, after tracking your flight in. We track your flight from take-off, so if you land early or late the pickup time moves with it. Terminals 4 and 5 sit outside the Central Terminal Area, so the approach road you need is decided before you reach the airport perimeter — going to the wrong one costs 15 minutes.

On the road
In their words
“Booked a chauffeur for an early airport run and the car was outside five minutes before pickup. Smooth, quiet journey and the driver knew the fastest route around the roadworks.”
“We use XLNC Cars for client visits regularly. The vehicles are always spotless and the drivers are properly turned out — it reflects well on us, not just them.”
“Hired the VIP car for a wedding and it made the whole day feel special. Punctual, professional, and the driver waited patiently through the photos.”
Good to know
1 hr 45 min to 2 hr 15 min, covering 85 miles. The lower figure is a clear run; the higher one allows for peak-time traffic.
We quote a fixed price before you book, based on the vehicle class and the time of travel, and it does not change if the traffic is bad. Call 01483 310310 or send the journey details through the booking form for a firm figure.
Directly at your destination address in Cheltenham. Festival week. Race days end with tens of thousands leaving at once, and a pre-booked car with a known driver and a set pickup point is worth more that afternoon than any other day of the year.
We track it. Your driver's pickup time moves with the flight, so a delay does not mean a missed car or a second fare. For departures, tell us your flight and we work the pickup back from it.
Yes — returns are booked at the same time as the outbound and quoted together. Most Heathrow Airport customers book both legs at once, and the same driver often covers them.
