Pick up
10 London pickup points
Collect your car close to home, the office or the station. Every hub is staffed, easy to reach and stocked with the full Waylaid fleet — then it's a straight run to your airport.
King's Cross / St Pancras
Step off the train and into your car. Ideal for travellers arriving by rail from the North or by Eurostar, heading straight on to Luton or Stansted.
Shoreditch
East London's creative quarter. A quick collection point for City and tech-cluster travellers heading out to London City, Stansted or Heathrow.
Canary Wharf
On the doorstep of the financial district. A favourite for business hires — pick up by your office and reach London City in well under twenty minutes.
Victoria
Right by the rail and coach terminus in central London. The natural launch point for the run south to Gatwick on the A23 and M23.
Stratford
East London by the Olympic Park and Westfield. Well placed for the M11 up to Stansted and the quick hop across to London City.
Hammersmith
West London by the A4 and M4 corridor. The fastest side of town for Heathrow — a clear run straight out to every terminal.
Battersea
South-west London near the Power Station and Nine Elms. A handy collection point for the southern airports — Gatwick via the A3 and M23.
Croydon
Our most southerly hub. Closest to Gatwick of all our locations — barely half an hour down the M23 — and a strong start for the south coast.
Wembley
North-west London by the stadium and outlet centre. Well connected to the North Circular and M1 — an easy route up to Luton.
Drop off
Every London airport
Whichever terminal you're flying from, we cover it. Each price is an indicative one-way "from" rate for a hatchback — and yes, that includes the airport drop with no one-way fee.
Heathrow (LHR)
Our busiest route. Quickest from the western hubs — Hammersmith and central London via the M4. Staffed desks at all terminals.
One-way from £29
Book to Heathrow →Gatwick (LGW)
London's southern gateway. Fastest from Croydon and Battersea down the M23 — usually under the hour from central London.
One-way from £39
Book to Gatwick →Stansted (STN)
North-east of the city. A clear run up the M11 from Stratford and Shoreditch — popular with low-cost and European flyers.
One-way from £39
Book to Stansted →Luton (LTN)
To the north up the M1. Easiest from Wembley and King's Cross — a straightforward drive with parking right by the terminal.
One-way from £35
Book to Luton →London City (LCY)
The closest airport to the centre. Minutes from Canary Wharf and the City — our shortest, cheapest route and a business-traveller staple.
One-way from £25
Book to London City →Southend (SEN)
Essex coast, east of the city via the A127. The furthest of the six — handy for short-haul European hops and a calmer terminal experience.
One-way from £45
Book to Southend →

At the airport
Drop the keys and walk to your gate
No queues, no shuttle bus, no faff. Our staffed desks sit right in the airport car parks, so you park, hand over the keys and head straight for check-in.
Every Waylaid drop-off point is clearly signposted from the terminal approach roads and the short-stay car parks. Desks are open from 5am to 11pm, seven days a week, covering the earliest departures and the latest arrivals. Flying outside those hours? Use our out-of-hours key drop — leave the car in the marked Waylaid bay, drop the keys in the secure box and you're done. Our 24/7 roadside team is one call away the whole journey.
