Frequently asked questions
How much does a transfer cost, and what does the fare include?
Fares are fixed, published, one way and per vehicle, not per person. Cars cost £80 to £225, 6 seaters £95 to £275, and 8 seaters £120 to £350. Heathrow to Oxford costs £95, £130 or £170 respectively. Fares include the £7 terminal drop-off charge, pick-up parking, motorway tolls, ULEZ, fuel and traffic delays. There are no booking, card, peak or surge charges.
Which towns and regions does Kings Heathrow Taxi serve?
It serves 74 towns and cities north and west of London, across the Thames Valley and Chilterns, Hertfordshire and the A1 corridor, the West Midlands and Warwickshire, the East Midlands, the Cotswolds and Welsh Borders, Bath, Bristol and Wiltshire, and South Wales. Published destinations include Oxford, Milton Keynes, Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Nottingham, Northampton, Bristol, Bath, Swindon, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Cardiff and Newport.
Which vehicles are available, and how many passengers and suitcases can they carry?
Three vehicle sizes are available. The car carries up to 4 passengers (3 in comfort) and 3 large suitcases, using an estate car or, for 1 or 2 passengers, a saloon when no estate is available. The 6 seater minibus carries up to 6 passengers and 3 large suitcases. The 8 seater carries up to 8 passengers and 10 large suitcases. A small party may book a larger vehicle for luggage.
How does pickup work at Heathrow Airport?
Pickup uses direct contact with the driver, not a name board inside the terminal. Confirmation provides the driver's name and mobile number. After collecting bags, the customer calls or messages the driver. Terminals 2, 3 and 5 use Terminal Parking, about 6 to 8 minutes' walk with luggage. Terminal 4 uses its designated pick-up zone, and the customer messages the zone number.
What happens if a flight is delayed?
Arriving flights are tracked, and free waiting lasts 60 minutes from the actual landing time. After that, waiting costs £15 per hour only when the customer asks the driver to stay. Departing flights are not tracked, so customers must tell Kings Heathrow Taxi if their departure time changes.
How do customers pay?
Payment is made online when booking, using a card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Cash is not accepted, and there is nothing to pay the driver. Kings Heathrow Taxi charges no booking fee and no card fee. Booking confirmation is usually sent within an hour.
What is the cancellation policy, and can customers book a return journey?
Cancellation is free until 12 hours before pickup. Every booking is one way only, so customers needing travel in both directions must book each direction separately. The cancellation rule applies to each separately booked journey, and payment is made for each booking online.
Does Kings Heathrow Taxi serve Gatwick, Kent, Southampton, central London or other places outside its area?
No. Every journey starts or ends at Heathrow, so there are no transfers from Gatwick, Stansted or other airports. The service does not cover Kent, Sussex, south Surrey, Hampshire including Southampton, Dorset, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridge or East Cambridgeshire. Central London journeys are not the focus. For a town outside the listed 74, customers may request a quote at https://kingsheathrowtaxi.co.uk/request-a-route/.
