Not every journey starts at your front door. Sometimes it starts at Arrivals — after a long flight, in a busy terminal, with tired passengers, multiple bags, and that familiar question: “Where do we go now?”
That’s exactly why Meet & Greet exists, and why we’ve made it a core part of how driven.travel operates.
Driven is a booking portal that coordinates your journey with a trusted, licensed private hire or chauffeur operator best suited to the trip. In plain English: you send us the details, and we organise the right professional operator and driver for the job — with clear communication from enquiry through to confirmation.
What “Meet & Greet” actually means
A proper Meet & Greet isn’t just “someone turning up somewhere near the terminal”.
It’s a simple, reliable process designed to remove friction at the exact moment travellers are most likely to feel it — right after landing.
Typically, Meet & Greet includes:
- The driver tracking your flight (and adjusting for early/late arrival)
- Clear instructions on where to meet at Arrivals
- Direct contact on the day if needed (especially helpful for international travellers)
- Support with luggage to the vehicle
- A calm, pre-booked handover — no uncertainty and no last-minute scrambling
Why Meet & Greet matters more than people think
From a traveller’s perspective, the difference is huge. Meet & Greet is often the moment a journey either starts smoothly… or becomes a hassle.
It’s particularly valuable for:
- International arrivals who want a clear plan after landing
- Families travelling with children and lots of luggage
- Business travellers working to tight schedules
- Cruise guests connecting from airport to port (or vice versa)
- Visitors unfamiliar with the UK, terminals or transport layout
Meet & Greet is less about “luxury”, and more about doing things properly — with professionalism, timing and clarity.
The driven.travel Meet & Greet process (step-by-step)
Here’s what usually happens:
- You submit your booking request
Use https://driven.travel/bookings and share your pick-up, drop-off, date/time, passenger count, luggage, and any special requirements.
- We coordinate your booking
Driven reviews your request and matches the job with a suitable licensed operator from our network — the right fit for your route, vehicle needs, and timings.
- You receive confirmation
Once finalised, you’ll receive confirmation with your agreed journey details and travel information, so you know exactly what’s happening.
- On the day: flight tracking + arrival handover
The driver monitors your flight and then meets you as planned at Arrivals (based on your confirmation). From there it’s a smooth walk to the vehicle and onward travel.
The “60-second” checklist: what to tell us for an accurate quote
Meet & Greet works best when the details are clear. It also helps us quote accurately and match you with the right operator and vehicle.
If you can, include:
- Flight number (most important)
- Arrival airport and terminal (e.g., Heathrow T5 / Gatwick South)
- Scheduled landing time
- Passenger name for the pick-up (useful at Arrivals)
- Number of passengers
- Luggage count (large cases + hand luggage)
- Drop-off address (full postcode where possible)
- Any special requirements (mobility aids, child booster seats, extra space)
The more complete the information, the smoother the pick-up — and the fewer surprises on the day.
“But what if the flight is delayed?”
Delays happen. The key is planning for them.
A properly run Meet & Greet process accounts for delays and reduces stress because:
- flight progress is tracked
- timing is adjusted
- communication stays clear
- the passenger isn’t left guessing what to do next
This is exactly the kind of coordination Driven is designed to handle.
Bookings, coverage and peace of mind
