FAQ
Heathrow to Westminster — common questions
How much is a taxi from Heathrow or Victoria to Westminster?
A fixed-price saloon or estate starts from £135 from anywhere in SW1, confirmed at booking. No meter, no surge, no evening surcharge. The £7 Westminster drop-off charge and £15 weekday Congestion Charge are disclosed upfront where they apply.
How long does it take?
Around 17 miles — typically 45–55 minutes off-peak and 60–90 minutes in weekday or Friday-evening peaks, via the A4/M4 through Hammersmith or the Embankment approach.
What time should I leave my hotel for an evening flight from Terminal 2?
For a 21:30–22:30 long-haul departure, an 18:00 pickup from SW1 typically has you at T2 check-in by 19:15–19:30 even through Friday peak — inside the 3-hour window. Give us the flight number and we confirm your slot.
Do you pick up from the hotel lobby?
Yes — the driver arrives a few minutes early, waits at the entrance or lobby as the hotel allows, texts you the car and registration, and loads your luggage. We work with concierges across Vincent Square, Victoria and Belgravia daily.
Will 2 passengers with suitcases fit in an estate?
Easily — an estate takes up to 4 passengers with 3–5 large cases plus hand luggage. Larger groups or extra baggage can book an MPV 6-seater or 8-seater at a fixed price.
Is it better than the tube or Westminster Express?
From SW1 the rail route means hauling cases to Paddington for the Express, or a long Piccadilly/Elizabeth line ride with changes. For two people with luggage the combined fares often approach the fixed taxi price — without door-to-terminal convenience. Apps surge on Friday evenings; our price never moves. See our Westminster Express vs taxi comparison.
Which terminal will my flight leave from?
T2 = Star Alliance (Air India, Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa, United, Turkish, ANA). T3 = Emirates, Qatar, Virgin Atlantic, Cathay. T4 = KLM, Delta, Etihad. T5 = British Airways. Give us the airline and flight number and the driver is routed automatically.
