Student Airport Taxi
Moving to or from university with a term’s worth of luggage is a lot harder on public transport than it needs to be. Onward Travel Solutions offers a fixed-price student taxi service to and from every major London airport, sized to fit the extra cases, boxes and bags that come with student travel.
Airports We Cover for Students
We run fixed-price transfers to and from Gatwick Airport, Stansted Airport, Luton Airport, Heathrow Airport, whether you’re a first-year arriving for the start of term or heading home for the holidays.
Built for Student Luggage
Moving to university usually means more luggage than a typical flight — bedding, boxes, extra bags alongside standard suitcases. Estate cars and minibuses are available at a fixed price for exactly this kind of trip, so nothing gets left behind for lack of space.
One Fixed Price, No Surprises
Your fare is agreed before you travel and confirmed by email, so there’s no meter running and no surge pricing if you’re booking during a busy moving-in or moving-out weekend when demand for taxis is high.
Group Bookings for Flatmates and Friends
Travelling with flatmates or friends heading to the same city or the same flight? A minibus or MPV booked together works out more cost-effective than several separate taxis, and everyone arrives together.
Term-Time Travel Patterns
Student airport travel tends to cluster around fixed points in the calendar — the start and end of term, Christmas, Easter and the summer break. Booking ahead of these known busy periods secures your preferred pickup time before demand peaks.
Flight Tracking Included
If you’re arriving at the airport, we track your flight and adjust your pickup time automatically if it’s delayed, so a long-haul flight home for the holidays doesn’t leave you stranded waiting for transport.
Getting an Instant Quote
You can get a fixed price for your student airport transfer in a couple of minutes online by entering your pickup and drop-off details, with no obligation to book once you see the price.
Booking Ahead of Term Dates
See our university term-time airport transfers page for more on planning around the academic calendar, particularly for the busiest moving-in and moving-out weekends.
International Students Arriving in the UK
Arriving in a new country for the first time, often after a long flight and with everything you own in your luggage, is easier with a driver waiting at arrivals than trying to find transport in an unfamiliar city. Meet and greet with flight tracking is included as standard.
Parents Dropping Off or Collecting
Parents helping a student move can also book directly, whether that’s collecting from the airport together or arranging a taxi in advance for a student travelling alone.
Payment and Confirmation
You can pay online at the time of booking, and every journey is confirmed by email with your fare, pickup time and driver details attached — useful for keeping a record during a busy moving period.
