London City transfers, fixed before you travel.

London City is around 24 miles from our Basildon base, roughly 35 to 45 minutes by car, though the A13 and the Royal Docks approaches can be slow at peak times. The way in is the A13 westbound into east London, then off onto the A1020 Royal Docks Road into the Royal Docks to the terminal on Hartmann Road, and coming from the north, the A406 North Circular is the usual alternative approach into the Royal Docks. Your driver knows it, and the fixed fare does not change whatever the traffic does.

All of them: One terminal. London City runs from a single compact terminal in the Royal Docks, so there are no numbered terminals to pick between. Just tell us your flight when you book and your driver takes you to the right door.

For more than a quick trip, usually. London City has one on-site car park rather than separate short and long stay sites, and a week's parking is cheapest booked ahead through the airport's own site, so check londoncityairport.com for a price on your dates. If you drive up and pay on the day, parking by the terminal is up to about £98 a day, but the airport says pre-booking online can save up to 90% off that drive-up rate. A fixed return with Value Cars is one set price, door to door, with no parking to find or pay for. London City's parking prices change with the date and are far cheaper booked ahead, so check the airport's own site for your dates.

Since 6 January 2026 London City charges £8 to pull onto the terminal drop-off forecourt for up to 5 minutes, then £1 per minute after that, with a 10-minute maximum. As a private-hire firm we are not a black cab, so that forecourt charge applies to our drop-off. It is set by London City, not by us. With a booked car you are dropped right at the terminal, and there is nothing for you to pay at the airport.
