UK-licensedTripyana provides a private driver for patients and companions in London from £230 per car. That covers 4 hours in a Mercedes E-Class; an 8-hour day is £370. The chauffeur collects you at Heathrow, waits during appointments at Harley Street or any hospital, and runs errands for companions. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
What does a private driver for patients in London include?
One Mercedes and one chauffeur for the whole booking; fuel, parking, Congestion Charge and ULEZ are inside the price. Four things come with every treatment day:
The car stays with you
From the hotel door to the clinic and back, with no new booking between appointments. The hours run from pickup to final drop.
Room for a wheelchair and luggage
A folded wheelchair or walker rides in the luggage area. The V-Class seats 7 with 7 bags and has sliding doors.
Errands for companions
While the patient is inside, the chauffeur takes a companion to the pharmacy or a supermarket. The car is back before the appointment ends.
Arrival and departure days
Heathrow pickup with a name board and an hour of free waiting after landing. The same car takes you back for the flight home.
Which London hospitals and clinics do you drive to?
Any hospital or clinic in London. Most patient bookings go to the Harley Street area in Marylebone. Consulting rooms line Harley Street, Devonshire Place and Beaumont Street, a few hundred metres apart.
We are an independent chauffeur company with no affiliation to any hospital, embassy or health office. The addresses below come from each hospital’s own website; tell us the department and entrance when you book.

How does a typical treatment day work with the driver?
The chauffeur meets you at the hotel at your chosen time; the car stays within reach all day. A day with two appointments usually looks like this:
08:30 · Pickup at your hotel in Mayfair or Knightsbridge
Loads luggage, wheelchair or samples
09:00 · Drop at the clinic entrance, Harley Street
Parks nearby and waits
09:00–12:00 · Patient in consultation or tests
Takes a companion to the pharmacy or shops, returns before the end
12:30 · Lunch or rest at the hotel
Car at the door when you are ready
14:30 · Second appointment or imaging at another hospital
Direct drive, no re-booking
16:30 · Back at the hotel
8 hours used: the day rate applies
A single morning appointment fits the 4-hour minimum; two sites or a long clinic day fits the 8-hour day. Tell us your likely finish time and the quote covers it.

These are the same packages as our car hire with driver in London, applied to a hospital timetable. For a patient with two or more companions, the Mercedes V-Class gives three rows of seats and the largest boot.
How does the Heathrow arrival work for a patient?
The chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall holding your name and tracks the flight. Sixty minutes of waiting after landing are free. Heathrow has four passenger terminals (2, 3, 4 and 5); we check yours against the flight number.
Luggage and a folded wheelchair go straight into the car. The first stop can be the hospital rather than the hotel when admission is on the arrival day. The one-way fares by car are on our Heathrow airport transfer page.
Rush-hour traffic changes the drive time into Marylebone; see our London airport journey times by hour.
What should companions know before booking?
- Seated travel onlythis is a chauffeur service, not medical transport. The passenger travels seated in a standard car seat; there is no stretcher or clinical equipment on board.
- Wheelchairs and walkersa folding wheelchair travels in the boot of any car. The V-Class has the most space and a higher seat to step into.
- Waiting is inside the hoursthe time runs from the first pickup to the last drop, and waiting is included.
- Central London chargesthe Congestion Charge applies 07:00–18:00 on weekdays and 12:00–18:00 at weekends, and covers Harley Street and Bloomsbury. The ULEZ runs 24 hours a day. Both are inside our price.
- Privacythe chauffeur stays with the car and needs only the address and the times. Medical matters remain between you and the hospital.
- Language and child seatsan Arabic-speaking chauffeur on request, subject to availability. Child seats are fitted free when you give the children’s ages.
How do I book a driver for a patient in London?
Send the dates and the hospital

We reply with a single figure for the whole programme, by car class, waiting hours included.

Pay online and get instant confirmation by email; pickup is at the agreed time on the first day.
How can a concierge or clinic book a patient’s pickup?
A hotel concierge, clinic coordinator or relative can book the car for the patient through our contact form. We reply with one written price by car class, and the booker forwards the confirmation to the patient.
Five details make the pickup smooth:
- Who the patient isthe patient’s name and a mobile number for the patient or a companion on the day.
- Where the clinic isthe full address, plus which department and which door the patient will leave from.
- When it should endthe appointment time and a realistic finish. Discharge often runs late, so allow for it in the hours.
- Where they go nextthe hotel, a second hospital, or Heathrow with the flight number for the journey home.
- What travels with themany wheelchair or walker, the number of companions, the luggage, and any children’s ages.
On the day, the chauffeur parks close to the clinic in Marylebone and comes to the front door when called. Time spent waiting for a slow discharge counts within the hours already booked, with no extra charge inside them.
The chauffeur needs addresses and times only, never medical details. One booking can cover the clinic, the hotel and the drive to the airport.
Frequently asked questions about the patient driver service
How much does a patient driver in London cost?
From £230 per car for the 4-hour minimum in a Mercedes E-Class; longer days are quoted in writing. The list above gives the 7-hour, 8-hour and Heathrow figures for every car. Weekly and long-stay programmes are quoted per itinerary.
Can the driver wait while I am inside the hospital?
Yes. Waiting is part of the booked hours. The chauffeur parks near the clinic and returns to the entrance when you call. A companion can use the car meanwhile for a pharmacy or supermarket run and be back before the appointment ends.
Do you drive to Harley Street, The London Clinic and Cromwell Hospital?
Yes, to any hospital or clinic in London. That includes Harley Street, The London Clinic, King Edward VII’s, The Wellington, Great Ormond Street and Cromwell Hospital. We are an independent chauffeur company with no affiliation to any hospital. Tell us the department and entrance when you book.
Is the car suitable for a patient who uses a wheelchair?
For a patient who can transfer to a car seat, yes. A folded wheelchair or walker goes in the boot. The V-Class offers the most room, sliding doors and a higher seat. The cars are not ramp-equipped; this is a chauffeur service rather than medical transport.
Can you collect us at Heathrow on the day we arrive?
Yes. The chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name board and tracks the flight. An hour of waiting after landing is free. The one-way Heathrow pickup is £125 in the E-Class. The first stop can be the hospital when admission is on the same day.
Can we keep the same driver for a whole week, and can we cancel?
Yes. Weekly and long-stay programmes are quoted per stay, with the same chauffeur each day where rosters allow. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. Tripyana Ltd is a UK-licensed company — private hire operator licence PHOP950 · Company No. 16308293.
How can a concierge book a car for a patient leaving a clinic in Marylebone?
Send the patient’s name, a mobile number, the clinic address and the expected finish time through our contact form. We reply with one written price by car class. On the day, the chauffeur waits near the clinic, comes to the door when called, then drives on to the hotel or Heathrow.
What happens if the patient’s discharge runs late?
The chauffeur keeps waiting, because waiting counts within the hours you booked. Give us a realistic finish time when booking, so the quote already covers a long clinic day. A single appointment usually suits the 4-hour minimum, while two sites suit the 8-hour day.
Can the car go straight from the clinic to Heathrow?
Yes. The same car can collect the patient at the clinic door and drive to Heathrow for the flight home. Send the flight number with the booking so the timing allows for check-in. Luggage and a folding wheelchair ride in the boot.
Why book your patient companion driver with Tripyana?
A hospital day is stressful enough. This is what a private car changes:
- Waits through the appointmentthe chauffeur stays close to the hospital entrance, so a long clinic never means finding a ride home.
- One fixed price, in writingyou see the full figure before you pay. The price stays the same on the day, and waiting inside your booked time is free.
- Mercedes and Range Rover onlyan S-Class or Range Rover when the arrival matters; a 7-seat V-Class keeps a family or a group together.
- Several cars, one schedulelarger parties travel to one run sheet, with a single contact on your side.
- Child seats at no chargefitted before pickup when you give the children’s ages.
One chauffeur for the whole treatment stay, one written price.
