For a business that regularly moves people between London and its airports — whether that is staff flying out to clients or executives collecting international visitors from Heathrow — the airport transfer is a routine cost that most companies manage badly. Individual bookings, individual receipts, individual expense claims, and fares that vary each time someone checks. A corporate account removes all of that.
This guide explains what a corporate airport transfer service offers, how managed billing works, what vehicles are appropriate for client-facing travel, and why the operational difference between a managed account and an ad-hoc booking matters more the more frequently your team flies.
Business airport runs tend to follow patterns: the office in Canary Wharf to Heathrow T5 for Monday morning flights, or the hotel in Westminster to Gatwick for client arrivals. A corporate account sets the fare for your regular routes in advance. Your PA or travel manager books without comparing prices each time. Your traveller is not asking whether the fare has changed. The cost is known and consistent, which makes budgeting and approval straightforward.
When you are collecting a senior client from Heathrow T2 at 9am, the vehicle that pulls up sends a signal before the conversation starts. An executive saloon — clean, current model, professional driver — is a different experience from a standard saloon. For a board member or a valued client, the vehicle choice is part of the hospitality. Our fleet includes executive options suitable for one-to-one client travel and larger executive MPVs for groups of four or more travelling together.
When you are collecting a client who has just arrived from Frankfurt or New York, sending a driver inside arrivals with a name board is a simple signal that you planned ahead and value their time. They do not have to navigate to a pick-up point or wait outside. They see the name, hand over their case and walk to the car. For VIP or first-time London visitors especially, meet & greet is the expected standard for corporate travel. Include it when the passenger is a client or senior guest — it costs a small amount extra and the impression it makes is disproportionate.
A corporate airport transfer account gives your business fixed fares for all airport runs, consolidated invoicing for expenses and VAT reclaim, professional vehicles suitable for client travel, and the ability for PAs, EAs or travel managers to book on behalf of travellers. For businesses with regular airport runs to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted or Luton, a managed account removes the friction of per-journey booking and eliminates the expense-claim administration of individual receipts.

A standard booking is a one-off transaction: you book, travel, pay, and the relationship ends. A corporate account changes that model. Fixed fare schedules are agreed in advance for your most common routes — for example, your office in the City of London to Heathrow T5, or your client's address in Mayfair to Gatwick North Terminal. You do not have to check the price each time. You do not need to expense a credit card charge or keep receipts. Each month's journeys are consolidated on a single invoice with all the information your finance team or accountant needs.
Pre-agreed fixed fares for regular routes
Consolidated monthly invoicing with full trip detail
VAT-rated invoices for expense and reclaim purposes
No per-journey card transaction or receipt management
Suitable for teams with multiple regular travellers
For client travel or when reputation matters, vehicle choice is part of the service. An executive saloon — a Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series — presents well, has space for a laptop bag and one or two cases, and provides a quiet cabin where your guest can make a call or run through notes before a meeting. For groups, an executive MPV or Mercedes V-Class takes five or more passengers with luggage without the squeeze of a standard saloon. For a senior client or a board-level arrival, a premium vehicle sends a clear signal before you have even had the conversation. Airportmove's fleet includes executive and premium options — see fleet options.
When collecting a client or colleague from an airport, their flight is not always on time. Airportmove tracks inbound flight numbers and adjusts driver timing to the real arrival — your driver is not sitting in a pick-up lane for 90 minutes on a metered clock because of a Lisbon delay. For meet & greet corporate pickups, your driver is inside arrivals with a name board when your client clears customs, not five minutes after they have been standing there wondering if the car is coming. This is the detail that separates a managed service from an ad-hoc booking.
Contact us to discuss your typical journey patterns, the number of monthly runs your business requires, and your invoicing preferences. We agree a rate schedule and set up account access so that your travel manager or PA can place bookings directly. For businesses with straightforward needs, you can also book individual journeys through our booking page and use the receipt for expenses — the step up to a full account is for teams running regular or high-volume transfers. For more details on what a corporate account includes, see our corporate transfers page or get in touch.
When a business is comparing transfer providers rather than setting up an account from scratch, the questions that come up most are practical rather than about price alone: how quickly can a booking be changed when a meeting runs long, what happens if a flight is delayed outside normal hours, and whether the same driver can be requested for a director who travels the same route every week. These are worth asking of any provider, since the answers reveal more about day-to-day reliability than a rate card does on its own.
For businesses currently expensing individual taxi or app receipts, the administrative saving of a single monthly invoice is often underestimated until it is actually removed — no more matching dozens of individual receipts to expense claims, no VAT queries over informal cash payments, and one point of contact for any billing question rather than chasing several different drivers or apps. That administrative simplicity, as much as the fixed fare itself, is usually what finance teams notice first once an account is in place.
A corporate account sets up fixed fares and invoicing terms for your business. Instead of booking and paying individually each time, journeys are logged, consolidated and invoiced on an agreed cycle — weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on your volume.
Yes. Airportmove issues VAT-rated invoices for all corporate account journeys, suitable for expense submission and VAT reclaim. Individual bookings also receive a receipt showing the full fare.
Contact Airportmove through our corporate transfers page or by phone and we will discuss your requirements, agree pricing for your main routes, and set up account access. There is no minimum spend threshold to open an account.
Airportmove offers saloons, executive saloons (Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series), MPVs, executive MPVs (Mercedes V-Class) and 8-seaters. For client-facing travel, executive options are the most common choice. See our fleet page for full details.
Yes. A corporate account can be used by a PA, travel manager or multiple bookers. You can have several journeys running simultaneously for different travellers, all billed to the same account with full per-journey detail on the invoice.
Journeys are logged against your account. At the agreed billing interval, we issue a consolidated invoice covering all trips in that period with date, pickup, destination and fare for each. Payment is by BACS transfer on your standard payment terms.
A standard booking is pay-per-journey with a card or cash. A corporate account uses pre-agreed pricing, consolidated invoicing and a dedicated booking arrangement. The vehicle and service are the same — the difference is in the commercial and administrative structure.

Yes. Account access allows designated bookers to place and manage bookings. Traveller names, flight details and vehicle preferences can all be set at the time of booking. The traveller receives their driver details directly.
Yes. All airport pickups include flight tracking as standard. The driver adjusts to your traveller's real arrival time — no surcharge for delays and no driver waiting needlessly at the airport on an untracked schedule.
