JustAirports emailed me that they do this all the time and not to worry, I'm taking their advice and not worrying about anything until tomorrow when I'm sure I will stress out about something else I shouldn't stress out about.

Three more weeks...I can almost taste the Bass Ale it's getting so close.

We are using justairports.com to and from Heathrow. What is the tipping policy for these services? We were quoted a price of £40. Thanks.

aha - sneakily leaving the most difficult questions til last are you?

£40 is what I'd pay, but then you might want them to pick you up for the return journey, soooo

annhig, I don't think there is a tipping "policy" but I have used justairports many times and would probably tip on that fare 5 pounds.

We tipped four pounds on a fare of 36.00 pounds going into London. (mostly this was for the ease of splitting the fare and each giving a 20 pound note)

On the way back out to Heathrow we left on separate days; I tipped about the same on a fare of 28.00 GBP and the day my Aussie friend left she tipped nothing on a fare of 30.00GBP.( Aussies aren't into the whole tipping thing)

I don't think you really need to tip them. In fact in retrospect I shouldn't have tipped anything on my trip from London to Heathrow as the driver was pretty surly.
