Taxi to Heathrow Prices
The cost of a taxi to Heathrow depends on your pickup location, terminal, vehicle and booking details. Airport Bee provides pre-booked fares rather than a taxi meter, so you can check the price of your journey before confirming your transfer. The examples below are indicative fares from the current Airport Bee pricing schedule.
| Pickup area | Heathrow T2–T4 | Heathrow T5 |
|---|---|---|
| Wembley Park | £44 | £48 |

Example fares only: These prices are indicative and may differ from the fare confirmed when you book. Your exact price depends on the pickup address, Heathrow terminal, vehicle, travel details and any applicable airport or journey charges. Check the booking form for the current fare before travelling.
Pre-Book a Taxi to Heathrow Airport
A pre-booked taxi to Heathrow gives you a direct door-to-door airport transfer from your home, hotel, office or other pickup address to your departure terminal. Airport Bee serves Heathrow Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5, with transfers available around the clock for early flights, late departures, families, groups and business travellers.
Enter your pickup address and Heathrow terminal when booking, choose a vehicle that suits your passengers and luggage, and check the fare for your journey before confirming. Airport Bee operates as a pre-booked private hire service, so your journey is arranged in advance rather than hailed from a street taxi rank.
If you are unsure which terminal or vehicle to select, contact the Airport Bee booking team on 020 8459 9999 before confirming your journey.
Taxi from Heathrow Airport
Landing at Heathrow? Airport Bee also provides pre-booked taxis from Heathrow Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 to homes, hotels, offices and destinations across London and the UK.
Add your flight number when booking an airport collection so your arrival can be monitored with flight monitoring. Your confirmation will include the collection or meeting arrangements for your terminal. If you choose Meet & Greet, follow the meeting instructions provided with your booking after you have cleared arrivals.
Heathrow does not allow normal passenger pickups from the terminal drop-off forecourts. Pickup arrangements therefore depend on the terminal and the service selected for your booking.
Heathrow Taxi Transfers by Terminal
Airport Bee covers all four active Heathrow passenger terminals. Choose your terminal below for dedicated taxi, pickup, drop-off and transfer information.
Heathrow Terminal 2 Taxi
Pre-book a taxi to or from Heathrow Terminal 2, with flight monitoring available for airport collections.
Heathrow Terminal 3 Taxi
Book a pre-arranged transfer to or from Heathrow Terminal 3, with vehicle options for individuals, families and groups.
Heathrow Terminal 4 Taxi
Arrange a Heathrow Terminal 4 transfer and check the dedicated page for current pickup and drop-off information.
Heathrow Terminal 5 Taxi
Pre-book a taxi to or from Heathrow Terminal 5 with a vehicle suited to your passengers and luggage.
Heathrow Airport Taxi Pickup
Heathrow passenger pickups are not permitted from the normal terminal drop-off forecourts. For Terminals 2, 3 and 5, Heathrow directs passenger collections to Terminal Parking or Park & Ride facilities. The first 29 minutes in Heathrow Park & Ride are currently free.
Terminal 4 has different arrangements following changes introduced in June 2026. A Priority Pick-Up area is available outside arrivals, with charges starting at £7 for up to 10 minutes. Free pickup is also available from Zone A of the Terminal 4 Park & Ride car park, where Heathrow currently allows up to two hours free. See the Heathrow Terminal 4 taxi page for more detail.
Your Airport Bee booking confirmation will provide the relevant collection or meeting instructions for your journey. Follow those instructions rather than travelling to the terminal drop-off forecourt for a pickup.
Taxi Drop-Off at Heathrow Airport
Airport Bee can take you directly to the designated drop-off area outside your Heathrow departure terminal. Heathrow Airport currently charges £7 each time a vehicle enters a terminal drop-off zone. This is an airport charge set by Heathrow, not by Airport Bee.
Heathrow also provides a free drop-off option at its Park & Ride car parks, with passengers continuing to the terminal by shuttle bus. If you want the most direct terminal drop-off, check how the airport charge is shown in your Airport Bee quote or booking details before confirming.
Passenger pickups and waiting are not permitted in Heathrow’s terminal drop-off areas.
Flight Monitoring and Meet & Greet at Heathrow
For Heathrow airport collections, add your flight details when booking so your arrival can be monitored. If the flight lands earlier or later than scheduled, the booking can be handled around the actual arrival information rather than relying only on the original timetable. Learn more about Flight Monitoring.
Airport Bee also offers Meet & Greet at Heathrow. The driver meets the passenger inside the arrivals terminal at the meeting point provided with the booking, helping make the collection easier after baggage reclaim.
Airport Bee’s current Heathrow inside-terminal Meet & Greet fee is £9. Check the booking details for the current total fare and any applicable parking or airport charges.
Choose a Vehicle for Your Heathrow Transfer
Choose your Heathrow taxi based on the number of passengers and the luggage you are travelling with. If your group is close to a vehicle’s maximum capacity, choose the larger option or contact Airport Bee before booking.
| Vehicle | Passenger capacity | Luggage guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Saloon | Up to 4 | 2 suitcases |
| Estate | 4 | 3 suitcases + 1 cabin bag |
| 6 Seater | Up to 6 | 4 suitcases with 4 passengers; cabin luggage only at full 6-passenger capacity |
| 8 Seater | Up to 7 | 6 suitcases + 6 cabin bags |
| Executive | 4 | 2 suitcases + 2 cabin bags |
Baby seats, child seats and booster seats can be requested when booking. Vehicle models may vary, so select the vehicle category according to your passenger and luggage requirements rather than a specific car model.

Taxi or Public Transport to Heathrow?
The best way to reach Heathrow depends on where you are travelling from, how much luggage you have and whether you prefer a direct journey.
A pre-booked private transfer provides door-to-door travel to your terminal without changing trains or carrying luggage between stations. Rail and Underground services can be useful for passengers travelling from locations with convenient connections, while a private transfer can be more practical for families, groups, early departures, heavy luggage or journeys starting away from major stations.
Compare the total journey — including getting to the station, changes, luggage and terminal access — rather than comparing only the headline ticket or taxi price.
Heathrow Airport Information for Taxi Passengers
London Heathrow Airport (LHR) currently operates passenger flights from Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. When booking your transfer, check the terminal shown by your airline and enter the correct terminal in your Airport Bee journey details.
For departures, allow enough time for the road journey, terminal access, check-in and security requirements advised by your airline. For arrivals, provide your flight number when booking so your Heathrow collection can be arranged around the flight information available.
Terminal-specific pickup, drop-off and transfer guidance is available on Airport Bee’s dedicated Heathrow Terminal 2, Terminal 3, Terminal 4 and Terminal 5 pages.
