Landing at Heathrow Airport? You can pre-book a private airport taxi transfer straight to your hotel, home or other address in London. Choose the airport as your pickup location, enter your destination and add your flight number so we can monitor your arrival.
Heathrow has several passenger terminals. Confirm the correct terminal when booking your collection.
Once you've collected your luggage, follow the meeting instructions sent for your booking. You'll receive your driver's details before your journey. You can also check our airport pickup and meeting points guide to see where to meet your driver.
London is not one single pickup point. A Heathrow airport taxi may begin outside a hotel in Paddington, a flat in Kensington, an office in the City of London or a home in one of the capital’s quieter residential neighbourhoods. The precise address matters, especially in a city where traffic and access arrangements vary from street to street.
West London areas such as Hammersmith, Ealing, Chiswick, Fulham and Bayswater have their own travel patterns, while pickups from Westminster, Victoria, Mayfair, Marylebone, Chelsea and Knightsbridge can involve busy central streets. Farther east, Canary Wharf, Stratford and the City present a different journey towards Heathrow.
For visitors arriving at Heathrow, Catch a Minicab offers pre-booked private transfers to London hotels, serviced apartments, homes and business addresses. Travellers heading to the West End, South Bank or central railway station districts can arrange their onward journey before landing instead of organising several connections with luggage.
The service works in both directions. Whether you need a London to Heathrow Airport taxi for an early departure or a Heathrow to London minicab after a long flight, the agreed pickup point, terminal and vehicle choice form part of your booking.
Heathrow has multiple passenger terminals. For an airport collection, providing the flight number helps with arrival monitoring, while the terminal-specific meeting instructions explain where to meet your driver. This is particularly helpful for families, overseas visitors and passengers unfamiliar with London’s airport layout.
