Rare dickinson Posted October 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) We have booked the Premier Inn on Bath Rd near Heathrow. We are a couple traveling with a friend. We will be returning home from Terminal 3 whereas our friend will be returning home from Terminal 2. Are we able to book a taxi for all of us to go to the two different locations or possibly a private transfer company? Not sure how it works nor how close the two terminals are and if we can all get off at the same place. Also does anyone know about how much it costs? Thanks for any help.

gumshoe958 Posted October 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 9, 2023 T2 & T3 are close by so one car can take you to both. Easiest option would be to use Uber, or call a cab at the hotel on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow signs to the Underground, then to the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use the underground tunnels, and the route should be well signed from the terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dickinson Posted October 10, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Thanks all. Yes, between T2 and T3. Underground tunnel will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked British Express cars for 4 of us. About $280 for 4 (I believe we booked a van to be sure we had enough room for luggage...and a car could be cozy for 4) They are dropping one couple at airport & us at LHR Staybridge Suites. Jayride is another option I just saw on rideguru. It gets decent reviews BUT those are not just for UK...so harder to gauge.

Rare dickinson Posted October 12, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted October 12, 2023 @KKB Thanks for the info but where did you start from? That would be a lot of money to go from an airport area hotel to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be "nominal" - but it will be nothing like what you are paying, which is expensive even for a London --> Heathrow trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dickinson Posted October 13, 2023 Author #11 Share Posted October 13, 2023 @Globaliser Any idea what range of price might it be from the Premier Inn Terminal 2&3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a guess (as I've never done such a transfer by cab or car), but perhaps somewhere around £25 for a car big enough for all four of you and your luggage, doing a single drop at one terminal. This means paying only one drop-off fee; I think that if the car drops two of you at one terminal and two of you at the other terminal, the £5 fee has to be paid twice.

To be sure we get a van it's a fair price for private transport. DH is quite tall & there are 4 adults; a sedan would be awfully tight for 4 plus luggage.

The website of the "usual suspect" that we use has just returned a quote of £100 for a trip from Victoria station to Heathrow airport in a "large MPV" (stated capacity: 6 passengers, 8 medium bags and 5 hand luggage): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Simply Airports - you can see it in the URL of the image. Unlike some other CCers, I don't push it here because frankly there's not a lot of difference between the various usual suspects in this business. This is simply the one that we use - except on the occasion that they were fully booked, when they immediately referred us to another of the usual suspects, which was equally good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I avoided them with a 2.9 rating. I looked at a number of car service offerings & $300 for a van was a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggest trying the “ We Know Group” (www.weknowlondon.com) who operate a taxi or shared ride program from Heathrow area hotels to LHR. £7 per person shared or £34 per vehicle private. We used a credit card and booked online at a terminal in the hotel. Cancel more than two hours prior to pick up for a complete refund. Got a confirmation e-mail which stated that another e-mail would be sent 30 minutes prior to pick up time. Another e-mail was sent when the driver was nearing the hotel including Uber-type information (Driver’s name, photo, make of vehicle, registration plate number etc.) A third e-mail was received when the vehicle actually arrived. It was £14 for two shared. The Hoppa woulda been £12. Very good service and worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
