A taxi to Heathrow with One2One Cars starts from £44 for Terminals 1–4 and £48 for Terminal 5, with the exact fare depending on your pickup area in London — and that figure is fixed and confirmed before you travel, not a meter reading that climbs with every set of traffic lights on the way to the M4.
How much does a taxi to Heathrow cost from my area?
Because fares are set by pickup postcode rather than a running meter, the cost depends on where in London you’re starting from. Here’s a sample of real fixed fares from the current fare table — see our full Heathrow Airport transfers page for the complete list by area, and always confirm your exact fare at Book Now before you travel.
| Pickup area | Heathrow T1\u2013T4 | Heathrow T5 |
|---|---|---|
| Hammersmith (W6) | \u00a344 | \u00a348 |
| Bayswater (W2) | \u00a346 | \u00a350 |
| Notting Hill (W11) | \u00a346 | \u00a350 |
| Kensington (W8) | \u00a346 | \u00a350 |
| Fulham (SW6) | \u00a350 | \u00a354 |
| Central London (W1) | \u00a366 | \u00a370 |
| Mayfair (W1J) | \u00a366 | \u00a370 |
Why does the fare vary between Terminal 1\u20134 and Terminal 5?
Terminal 5 sits slightly further round Heathrow’s perimeter road than the older terminals, which adds a small amount of driving time and distance — hence the modest few-pounds difference reflected in the fixed fare, agreed upfront either way so there’s no surprise once you’re dropped at the right terminal.
Is a fixed fare actually cheaper than a metered taxi or app ride?
The honest answer is “it depends on when you travel” — a fixed fare doesn’t chase the lowest number, it removes the risk of a high one. Surge-priced app rides and metered black cabs can cost significantly more during rush hour, bad weather, or high-demand periods; a fixed fare with One2One Cars is the same figure whether you book on a quiet Tuesday morning or a Friday rush-hour dash to catch a flight. The same logic applies at every London airport — see our Gatwick airport cab guide for the equivalent breakdown on that route. That price certainty — not a rock-bottom headline number — is the actual value of booking a fixed-fare minicab to Heathrow.
What extra charges might apply on the day?
- Express drop-off: £6.00 across all terminals, set by the airport, passed on at cost.
- Meet & greet: £9 for an inside pickup at Terminals 2–5 (Terminal 1 is closed, so meet-and-greet applies from T2 onward).
- Waiting time: charged at £0.34/minute (~£20/hour) beyond the free waiting window — 5 minutes from a home pickup, 10 minutes at express points. Flight delays are tracked and never charged.
- Peak-time fares apply roughly 06:50–09:00 and 14:30–19:00, Monday to Friday.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pay more if my flight is delayed?
No. Every airport collection includes free flight tracking, and delays are never charged as waiting time — your driver adjusts to your real landing time automatically.
Can I book a larger vehicle for extra luggage?
Yes — Estate, 6-Seater, 8-Seater and Executive options are all available; note that vehicle-class changes carry an additional charge, so it’s worth booking the right size from the start if you know you’ll have extra bags.
What if I need to cancel my Heathrow taxi?
Cancellations are free up to 4 hours before pickup. Inside 4 hours, a 100% charge applies and you’ll need to call the office on +44 20 7121 8888 rather than email.
Is child seat provision guaranteed?
Child and baby seats are available on request but aren’t guaranteed at peak times — worth booking as early as possible if you need one.
