Executive TaxiGatwick from £75 · Heathrow from £60 · Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series · fixed fares

An executive taxi is a pre-booked private hire car in the premium class — a Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series or similar — with a professional driver. It carries up to three passengers with two large suitcases, and it is the car to book when the journey matters as much as the destination: an early flight before a pitch, a client landing at Heathrow, a board meeting across town.

What Is an Executive Taxi? Same Journey, a Better Car

Quick Answer
An executive taxi is a Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series or similar booked as private hire, for up to 3 passengers with 2 large suitcases. It follows the same route at the same fixed-fare rules as a standard taxi — the difference is the car, the cabin and the way you arrive.

Saloon taxi

The value class — a Toyota Prius or similar. The right choice when the goal is simply getting there at the lowest fare. Saloon taxi →

Executive

A premium saloon with a quieter, more comfortable cabin. Booked for business travel, client pickups and journeys where first impressions count.

Chauffeur and VIP

A more formal style of service, up to S-Class and 7 Series level. See executive chauffeur and VIP taxi.

Most Asked Question

Why Does an Executive Taxi Carry Three, Not Four?

The Straight Answer
An E-Class or 5 Series can legally carry four passengers, but executive bookings are for three so nobody is squeezed into the middle of the rear seat. Comfort is the reason you upgraded. For four or more in the same standard, book the Executive MPV7.

Gatwick

Executive Taxi to Gatwick: E-Class From £75, Not £120+

Quick Answer
An executive taxi from central London to Gatwick is from £75 in a Mercedes E-Class or similar, for up to 3 passengers. The £10 drop-off charge, flight tracking and meet and greet are included. Many chauffeur firms quote £120 or more for the same car.

Gatwick has two separate terminals, North and South, a mile apart with their own approach roads. Your driver goes straight to the one your airline uses, so there is no second drop-off charge and no detour. For connections, the Gatwick to Heathrow transfer is one of our most booked executive routes.

Heathrow

Executive Taxi to Heathrow: Every Terminal, One Fixed Fare

Quick Answer
An executive taxi to Heathrow is from £60 from Ealing in a Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series. From central London, the fixed fare is priced from your postcode at booking. The £7 drop-off charge, flight tracking and meet and greet are included.

Heathrow has four terminals, and Terminals 4 and 5 sit on their own approach roads away from 2 and 3. Getting the terminal right matters more here than at any other London airport — give us the flight number and we confirm it before the day. Long-haul arrivals are where the executive class earns its fare: after ten hours in the air, the car is waiting and the cabin is quiet.

When the Executive Class Earns Its Fare

A client or guest is landing

The first ten minutes of their visit happen in your car. A clean, quiet executive saloon and a name board in arrivals set the tone.

You need the journey to work

Calls, emails or a last read of the deck before a meeting — a quieter cabin makes the time usable.

Early flights and late returns

After a long-haul flight or before a 6 AM departure, comfort is worth more than the difference in fare.

Three or more large suitcases

An executive saloon takes two. Book an estate or the Executive MPV7.

Four or more passengers

Book the Executive MPV7 to keep the same standard for the whole group.

Price is the only thing that matters

The saloon taxi does the same route for less.

Included Every Time

Common Questions

Your Executive Taxi Questions, Answered

An executive taxi is a pre-booked private hire car in the premium class, usually a Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series, with a professional driver. It carries up to 3 passengers with 2 large suitcases and is booked for airport transfers, business travel and client pickups where comfort and presentation matter.
The executive class uses a Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series or a similar premium saloon. Bookings confirm the class rather than an exact model. For more passengers in the same standard, the Executive MPV7 uses a Mercedes V-Class and carries up to 7 people.
Up to 3. An E-Class or 5 Series can legally carry four, but executive bookings are for three so that nobody is squeezed into the middle of the rear seat — comfort is the point of the upgrade. For four or more passengers in executive standard, book the Executive MPV7.
Two large checked suitcases plus hand luggage. An executive saloon is chosen for comfort rather than boot space, so if you are carrying three or more large cases, an estate or the Executive MPV7 is the better booking.
Executive fares start from £45, and central London to Gatwick starts from £75. Every fare is fixed at booking and includes the airport drop-off charge, flight tracking and meet and greet. Your exact price depends on the pickup postcode and airport.
The car and the standard of the journey. A saloon is the value class, typically a Toyota Prius or similar. The executive class is a Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series with a quieter, more comfortable cabin. Both are fixed-fare and pre-booked; the executive class simply costs more for a better car.
They overlap. Executive describes the vehicle class — a premium saloon for up to three passengers. A chauffeur service describes a more formal style of journey. If you want chauffeur-style presentation, see our executive chauffeur service.
It depends which problem you are solving. Choose executive when comfort and presentation matter for up to three people. Choose an estate when the luggage is the issue. The executive class is a quality upgrade; the estate is a luggage upgrade.
Yes, in an Executive MPV7. It uses a Mercedes V-Class or similar and carries up to 7 passengers with 7 bags, from £95. It keeps the premium standard for a board, a client party or a family travelling together.
From central London, an executive taxi to Gatwick is from £75 in a Mercedes E-Class or similar for up to 3 passengers. The fare is fixed at booking and already includes the £10 Gatwick drop-off charge, flight tracking and meet and greet. Many chauffeur firms quote £120 or more for the same car.
An executive taxi to Heathrow is from £60 from Ealing in a Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series. From central London the fixed fare is calculated from your exact postcode at booking. Every fare includes the £7 Heathrow drop-off charge, flight tracking and meet and greet.
Usually 45 to 65 minutes via the M23 and M25, depending on traffic and your pickup point. For a departure, allow extra time at peak hours on weekday mornings and Friday afternoons.
The North Terminal serves easyJet, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, SWISS and WestJet. The South Terminal serves British Airways, Ryanair, Jet2, Norwegian, Wizz Air, Vueling, Air France and Turkish Airlines. Airlines can move, so your boarding pass is the final word.
Heathrow has four terminals: 2, 3, 4 and 5. Terminal 2 is largely Star Alliance, Terminal 3 mostly oneworld, Terminal 4 largely SkyTeam, and Terminal 5 British Airways and Iberia. Check your boarding pass, or give us the flight number and we will confirm it.
Yes, on airport arrivals. Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall holding a board with your name, then helps with luggage to the car. Free waiting is counted from when the flight actually lands, not the scheduled time.
Nothing changes for you. The flight is tracked from its departure airport, so the driver adjusts to the real landing time automatically. There is no extra charge for a delay, and the fare stays exactly as booked.
Yes. A VAT receipt is available on every journey, and businesses that travel regularly can open a corporate account for monthly invoicing instead of paying journey by journey.
No. A 4 AM departure costs the same as a 4 PM one. The fare is fixed at booking, with no surge pricing, no night premium and no meter.
Yes. Airport-to-airport transfers are a common executive booking, especially for passengers connecting between a long-haul arrival and a short-haul departure. The fare is fixed and includes meet and greet at the arrival airport.
Yes. The executive class is well suited to long-distance travel across the UK because the cabin is quieter and more comfortable over several hours. Long-distance fares are quoted from your exact pickup and destination.
You can ask, and we will tell you honestly what can be guaranteed. A booking confirms the executive class — an E-Class, 5 Series or similar — rather than one exact model, because fleet availability changes day to day.
Yes. Cancel more than 24 hours before pickup for a full refund with no admin fee. Inside 24 hours, cancellations are reviewed case by case. Full details are in our refund and cancellation policy.
