Exeter Airport Meet and Greet

Touching down at Exeter and stepping straight into the care of a named, waiting driver is exactly what our meet and greet Exeter Airport service delivers. Rather than navigating unfamiliar surroundings after a long journey, you clear customs to find your driver already positioned in the arrivals hall, name board in hand, ready to take your luggage and lead you to the waiting vehicle. Full details on all Exeter Airport taxi transfers and transfer options are available on the parent airport page.

The process is built around your flight, not a rigid schedule. Once you book a transfer and select the Meet and Greet add-on, our system monitors your flight from departure through to landing. Your driver tracks the progress in real time, so any disruption to your itinerary is absorbed without you needing to make a single call. Whether you are arriving on a short domestic hop or returning from an international route via a connecting hub, the experience on the ground at Exeter remains the same: calm, organised, and entirely managed for you.

All vehicles are fully insured, climate-controlled, and operated by licensed professional drivers. Meet and Greet is available across all vehicle types.

My flight into Exeter was delayed by nearly two hours and I was dreading the arrival. My driver was already there when I came through, name board up and completely unfazed by the wait. It felt like someone actually had a plan for me. Excellent from start to finish.

We flew back from Malaga with three tired children and a mountain of holiday luggage. Seeing our name on a board in arrivals and having someone immediately take the suitcases off us was an enormous relief. Would book this every single time.
- Rob and Claire T., family of five returning from a summer holiday

I travel alone and airports can feel overwhelming. Having a driver already there with my name made the whole thing so much more manageable. From arrivals to my front door without any of the usual stress. Very grateful for such a thoughtful service.
- Margaret O., elderly passenger travelling solo to Exeter

How Meet and Greet Works at Exeter Airport

Exeter Airport operates from a single terminal building located roughly five miles east of the city centre, just off the M5. Because the terminal is compact by national airport standards, your driver can position themselves efficiently in the arrivals hall without the complexity that larger multi-terminal airports introduce. When you come through from the baggage reclaim area, your driver will already be standing in the waiting zone with a clearly visible name board bearing your details.

From that moment, your involvement in logistics effectively ends. The driver will assist with your luggage - whether that is a single carry-on bag or a full family haul of cases - and guide you directly to the vehicle. There is no waiting around, no searching for transport options, and no need to orientate yourself after a tiring journey. The vehicle is ready and the route to your destination is already planned. This is what the Meet and Greet service at Exeter is designed to deliver: a genuinely seamless handover from the aircraft door to the back seat of your transfer.

Why Choose a Meet and Greet Transfer at Exeter

For passengers who have experienced the alternative - emerging into a busy arrivals area, dragging luggage while checking a phone for directions, queuing at a rank in the rain - the difference a Meet and Greet transfer makes is immediate. You are met, not left to find your way. That distinction matters especially at the end of an international journey when fatigue and disorientation are real factors.

Exeter serves a wide range of leisure and business routes, and its passenger mix reflects that variety. Returning holidaymakers often have significant luggage and young children in tow. Business travellers arriving on connecting flights from European hubs need to move quickly to onward destinations in Devon, Somerset, or beyond. For all of these passengers, the Meet and Greet add-on removes the one remaining variable in an otherwise planned journey. It closes the gap between landing and reaching your destination with the same level of organisation that a professional driver brings to every other aspect of the transfer.

Who Uses Meet and Greet Transfers from Exeter Airport

The breadth of passengers who choose Meet and Greet at Exeter reflects just how broadly useful the service is. Families with young children rate it particularly highly - having a driver manage the luggage while parents handle the children takes genuine pressure off an already demanding moment. Elderly or less mobile passengers travelling solo find the personal meet enormously reassuring: there is a known face, a clear plan, and no need to navigate independently through an unfamiliar environment.

Business travellers heading to meetings across the South West use the service regularly as a time efficiency measure. Exeter transfers and local taxi services cover the city and surrounding areas, but for passengers coming from further afield - such as those heading through to Plymouth taxi and transfer connections or continuing to Taunton transfer services - the Meet and Greet ensures a controlled, professional start to the ground leg of the journey. Groups travelling together for leisure events or corporate visits also find that having a single, coordinated driver meeting point is far simpler than everyone navigating individually to a vehicle.

Vehicles Available for Your Exeter Meet and Greet Transfer

Choosing the right vehicle for your group is straightforward, and every option in our fleet supports the Meet and Greet service. Solo travellers and couples typically choose a saloon, which offers a comfortable and efficient transfer for shorter groups with standard luggage. The executive option is particularly popular with business passengers who want a premium environment for calls or quiet work during the journey from Exeter Airport.

Families and groups of four to six passengers are well served by the MPV, which accommodates a full complement of holiday luggage without compromising passenger comfort. For larger parties - up to eight passengers - the minibus provides the space needed for both people and their bags in a single vehicle. Travelling as one group in one vehicle is almost always smoother than splitting across two, and the Meet and Greet service works identically regardless of which vehicle type you select.

About Exeter Airport

Exeter Airport is the primary international gateway for Devon and serves as a key regional airport for the wider South West peninsula. Situated in the Clyst Honiton area to the east of Exeter city, it handles scheduled routes to destinations across the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe. The airport has a single passenger terminal, which makes orientation straightforward for arrivals, and its comparatively relaxed scale means that the transfer from customs to the arrivals hall is typically swift.

The airport has historically been the departure point for popular leisure routes to the Canary Islands, the Balearics, and Iberian destinations, as well as domestic connections to Scotland and Northern Ireland. Its catchment extends well beyond the city of Exeter itself, drawing passengers from across Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset who find it a more accessible alternative to Bristol or London airports. That regional reach makes reliable onward ground transport - particularly a driver who is confirmed to be waiting - all the more valuable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Meet and Greet service at Exeter Airport include?

Your driver attends the arrivals hall at Exeter Airport and waits with a personalised name board showing your details. Luggage assistance is included, and real-time flight monitoring is part of every booking. The driver then escorts you to the waiting vehicle and transfers you to your confirmed destination.

Exactly where in Exeter Airport will my driver be waiting?

Your driver will be positioned in the public arrivals waiting area just beyond the baggage reclaim and customs exit. Exeter has a single terminal with a straightforward arrivals layout, so your driver will be clearly visible with your name board as you come through.

My flight into Exeter is often delayed - what happens then?

Nothing changes on your side. We monitor your flight automatically from the moment it departs. If the arrival time shifts, your driver is informed in real time and adjusts accordingly. You will still walk out of customs to find your driver already waiting - regardless of how long the delay runs.

Is Meet and Greet something I book separately from my transfer?

No. The Meet and Greet service is an add-on to your standard transfer booking. There is no separate transaction or system. During the standard booking process you will see the option to include it, and selecting it confirms the driver waiting arrangement at no additional booking complication.

Can I use Meet and Greet for a departure from Exeter Airport as well as an arrival?

The service is primarily designed for arrivals, where the Meet and Greet experience - driver in the arrivals hall with a name board - is most relevant. For departures, your driver will collect you from your chosen address and transfer you to the airport. If you have specific departure requirements, you can note these during the booking process.

What if I cannot find my driver when I come through arrivals?

Do not leave the terminal. Your confirmation details include a direct contact number for your driver. Call the number and your driver will locate you immediately. Given the compact layout of Exeter Airport, this situation is unusual, but the direct driver contact is always available as a fallback.

Which vehicle types include the Meet and Greet option?

All of them. Whether you have selected a saloon for a solo trip, an MPV for a family of five, or a minibus for a group of eight, the Meet and Greet driver waiting service is available as an add-on across every vehicle in the fleet.

Does the compact size of Exeter Airport make Meet and Greet easier to use than at larger airports?

In practical terms, yes. Because Exeter has a single terminal with a straightforward arrivals layout, there is no ambiguity about which arrivals hall your driver is in. At larger multi-terminal airports, passengers sometimes need to confirm the terminal in advance. At Exeter, that step is unnecessary, which makes the process particularly smooth for first-time users of the service.

How do I book Meet and Greet for my Exeter Airport transfer?

Start your transfer booking using the standard booking form on this site. Once you have entered your journey details, you will be presented with the option to add the Meet and Greet service before completing payment. Selecting it confirms that a licensed driver will be waiting in the Exeter arrivals hall with your personalised name board when you land.
