| Onward taxi | Train / Tube | Driving and parking | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Door to door | Yes | No | No – shuttle from car park |
| Typical time | 59 minutes – 1 hour 25 minutes | See above | Drive plus parking transfer |
| Luggage | Loaded for you | Carried through stations | Carried from the car park |
| Cost | Fixed, per vehicle | Per person | Fuel plus daily parking |

For one person with a small bag, the train can be cheaper. For couples, families, anyone with heavy luggage or an early flight, a fixed-price taxi is usually the easier option – and the price is for the car, not per passenger.
Dropping off at the right terminal
We drop off and collect at Terminal 2, Terminal 3, Terminal 4 and Terminal 5. Terminals 2 and 3 share the central area reached through the airport tunnel, while Terminals 4 and 5 have their own separate approaches, so it helps to tell us your terminal when you book. If you are not sure, give us your flight number and we will check it for you.
