Mohammed Naseer If you are planning to travel to or from the UK by air, then by taxi, meet and greet is a feature you will likely encounter.
You may have heard of the term “meet and greet” and wondered what it means and how it can benefit you.
In this blog, we will explain what meet and greet is, how it works, and the difference between a free and a classic meet and greet as offered by TappAXI.
Whether at London City or Heathrow Airport looking for a Heathrow taxi, minibus, or cab, you’ll want your taxi driver to be waiting at the arrivals of the airport once your flight lands.
This is made possible by the feature called Meet and Greet.
Let’s discuss it:
What is Meet and Greet (Taxi Service)?
Airport meet and greet is a service that taxi companies provide to their customers who book airport transfers.
It means that the taxi driver will meet you at the airport arrivals hall, holding a sign with your name or the name of the taxi company.
The driver will then greet you, help you with your luggage, and escort you to the taxi.
This way, you don’t have to worry about locating your taxi, waiting in queues, or carrying your bags.
Meet and greet is especially useful if you are:
- Travelling for the first time to the UK,
- Unfamiliar with the airport layout,
- Carrying a lot of luggage,
- Travelling with children or elderly people,
- Or if you just want a hassle-free and smooth journey.

Types of Meet and Greet Services
Not all taxi companies offer meet-and-greet services, and not all meet-and-greet services are the same.
Some taxi companies charge extra for this service, while others include it for free in their airport transfer rates.
This means that there will be dedicated drivers who wait for you at the airport as soon as your plane lands, or flexible drivers who enter the car park only after you have received your luggage.
TappAXI offers you a free and classic meet and greet.
