FAQ
Heathrow to Wimbledon — common questions
How much is a taxi from Heathrow to Wimbledon?
Fixed-price saloon from £90 from SW19/SW20 to any terminal, MPV 6-seater from £116, 8-seater minibus from £142 — all confirmed at booking. No meter, no surge, no early-morning surcharge.
How long does it take?
Around 13 miles — typically 30–40 minutes early morning and off-peak, 45–60 minutes in weekday peaks, via the A3/A316 through Richmond or via Kingston and Sunbury Cross.
Why book an 8-seater for only 3 passengers?
Luggage. The 8-seater's separate racks take 8+ large cases, boxes and oversized bags — the standard choice for relocations, students flying out for the year and families maxing a long-haul allowance. Seats you don't need cost nothing in comfort; cases that don't fit cost you the flight.
How much luggage fits in each vehicle?
Saloon: 4 passengers, 3–5 cases. Estate: 4 + 5. Executive: 4 + 6. MPV: 6 + 8. 8-seater: 8 passengers or fewer people with 8+ cases on racks. Tell us people and cases at booking and we confirm the right fit.
Do you do 5am and 6am pickups in Heathrow?
Yes — 24/7 at the same fixed price, no night surcharge. Early pickups for the mid-morning long-haul banks at T2 and T3 are among the most common bookings from SW19 and SW20.
Is it better than the train?
There's no direct rail link from Heathrow to Wimbledon — you'd change onto the Piccadilly or Elizabeth line with every case, 75+ minutes door to terminal. With serious luggage it's not practical at all; the taxi is one seated 30–60 minute journey with everything in the back.
Can you pick us up at Wimbledon when we fly back?
Yes — book the return together and your driver meets you in arrivals with a name board, flight tracked, 60 minutes free waiting from your actual landing, with a vehicle sized for everything you're bringing home.
