How much is a taxi from Heathrow to central London?

We offer clear, fixed-price fares. A taxi from Heathrow to central London postcodes like Westminster, Soho, or Victoria starts from £55-£65 for a standard saloon car. The final price is confirmed at booking, with no hidden charges or surprise fees.

Do you charge by the meter or is it a fixed fare?

All our journeys are fixed fare. The price we quote and you agree to during booking is the price you pay. This protects you from unexpected costs due to traffic or diversions, unlike metered cabs where the price can increase unpredictably.

How do I find my driver at Heathrow Airport?

It's simple. After you collect your luggage, your driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall, holding a sign with your name on it. We also provide you with your driver's name, photo, and contact number for easy identification.

Are child seats available, and are they free?

Yes, we provide fully compliant child and booster seats free of charge. Please specify the ages of the children during the booking process so we can provide the correct seats for you.

I am traveling with a lot of luggage. Will it all fit?

Absolutely. When you book, you can select a vehicle based on your luggage needs, from saloons to larger estate cars and MPVs. Please indicate your luggage (e.g., 2 large suitcases, 3 carry-ons) during booking to guarantee a perfect fit.

Our company is called 'Gatwick Taxi Transfer.' Do you actually service Heathrow?

Yes, we absolutely do! Despite our original name, we have expanded to become a leading provider for Heathrow Airport taxi transfers as well. You can trust us for the same reliable, fixed-fare service at Heathrow.

Is the Heathrow drop-off/pickup charge included in the price?

Yes, our fixed fares are all-inclusive. This covers the Heathrow airport charge, congestion charge (if applicable), tolls, and taxes. The price you see is the final price you pay.

Can I book a taxi for a group of 6 or more?

Certainly. We have a fleet of spacious MPVs and minivans that can comfortably accommodate groups of up to 8 passengers with their luggage. Simply select the 'MPV' or 'Minivan' option when booking.

How far in advance do I need to book?

You can book anytime, even at the last minute. However, for the best vehicle selection and to secure your transfer, especially during peak hours or holiday seasons, we recommend booking at least 24-48 hours in advance.
