Hi all,

Can I make an enquiry of the collective wisdom of this lovely forum?

The Grumpy One and I are spending Christmas in Vienna and meeting up with some dear friends. We fly back to T3 on 27/12/17 and, of course, there are no trains running from LHR to London as there are planned services 24/12 - 27/12. I don’t fancy the underground and normally I would use Uber but one thing you can count on with them is that with reduced services and demand potentially high, they’ll activate their “dynamic pricing” in order to “encourage more drivers onto the roads”, which could end up being anything from 1.5x to 3x the usual rates. (I find Uber is excellent and generally competitive on pricing until it gets busy and the dynamic pricing kicks in, then it can get very expensive).

So, I’m thinking of booking a car to pick us up and save the hassle.
Any recommendations for reliable companies to use dear friends?

Thanks in advance,
John

For airport pickups I would recommend Blacklane without hesitation. Their service level is excellent and their drivers are just fantastic.

Referral code 7PB6Q5QC gets you 10 £/$/€ off your first booking. Nets me a reciprocal voucher too

also check addison lee, you can also book a tristar transfer with them (al bought tristar), last time i did it was cheaper via al than direct with tristar

there're often al promotions to sign-up and use their app

Thank you both, zmost helpful, cheers.
