Fares from Terminal 5 to Maidenhead station, from our booking system in October 2026, with the airport fee included. Cars and minivans cost the same from the other terminals. Addresses in Cookham, Bray, Holyport, Taplow or Pinkneys Green can be priced exactly in the booking form.

By car or by Elizabeth line?
Maidenhead is on the Elizabeth line, but Heathrow trains run east towards London. To reach Maidenhead by rail you go to Hayes and Harlington and change onto a westbound train. That works for one person with a backpack. With a family, a pushchair or two cases each, a car to the door is simpler, and three people in a saloon pay £16 each.
A few local details
- Golf and sports trips. Groups heading to clubs around Maidenhead often travel with golf bags. A golf bag takes the space of a large suitcase, so count it as one when you choose a car, and tell us in the booking notes.
- Riverside homes. If your address is down a private lane or by the river, a short note on where to stop helps the driver.
- Business arrivals. For offices along the M4 corridor, add the company name and any reception instructions to the notes.
Meeting your driver
Your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall with a name board; Heathrow does not allow pick-ups on its terminal forecourts. Add your flight number when you book so we can follow the flight. You get 60 minutes of free waiting from landing, and our flight delays and waiting time page explains longer delays.
You can check your flight on the official Heathrow arrivals board.
Which Heathrow terminal?
The fare is the same from all four terminals. British Airways flies mainly from Terminal 5, the closest to Maidenhead. Terminal 3 handles Virgin Atlantic, Delta, American Airlines and Emirates. Tell us the terminal when you book, so your driver waits in the right arrivals hall.
Going to Heathrow from Maidenhead
The outbound trip is the same £48 in a saloon. Your driver waits 10 minutes free at the door. Heathrow’s £7 drop-off charge is already included. The M4 east of Maidenhead is the stretch to watch on weekday mornings; for a flight before 9am, add extra time.
Groups and events
If a group is flying in together for a wedding, a golf trip or a company event, a 12-seat minibus is £246 and a 16-seat minibus £299 from Terminal 5, which keeps a group together and their luggage in one place.
