Cheapest way to get to Heathrow Airport: public transport
Public transport is usually the cheapest way to get to Heathrow Airport, whether by Underground, bus or rail. The service is an alternative for travellers who want a pre-booked private hire journey from a served town to Heathrow Terminals 2, 3, 4 or 5. Its fare is fixed for the selected town, terminal and vehicle. The fare applies to the vehicle, not each passenger, so everyone in the booked vehicle shares the same one-way fare.
Cheapest way to get to the airport: fixed taxi fares
Kings Heathrow Taxi charges the same route fare in either direction. For example, an Aylesbury to Heathrow taxi by car costs £80 one way, while an Oxford to Heathrow taxi by car costs £95 one way. A Milton Keynes to Heathrow taxi can also be booked for £95 by car, one way. These are fixed fares per vehicle. The booking form calculates the fare from the town, terminal and chosen vehicle.
Cheapest way to get to the airport: one-way bookings
Every Kings Heathrow Taxi booking covers one direction only. A customer travelling from a town to the airport chooses the pickup time when booking. Flight tracking does not apply to this journey. Tracking applies only when the booked journey begins at the airport after an arriving flight. Anyone who needs both an outward transfer to the airport and a later transfer home must make two separate bookings, with each direction priced and confirmed as its own journey.
