The journey: Heathrow Airport to Windsor
Windsor is Heathrow's closest major visitor destination — just 8 miles. There's no direct train (rail means changing at Slough or going via Paddington), so a pre-booked car is the practical choice: 15–25 minutes door to door, driver waiting in arrivals, fixed price. Ideal for Windsor Castle visits, Legoland, Ascot race days and hotel stays.
Journey time with traffic
Off-peak the run takes 15–25 min. On weekday mornings (7–10am) and evenings (4–7pm) add 20–40 minutes — the M25 is the variable. Because your fare is fixed at booking, traffic affects your schedule but never your price, and we build the buffer into the pick-up time we recommend.
Terminals & meeting points
Heathrow
Heathrow has four passenger terminals (T2, T3, T4 and T5 — there is no Terminal 1). Your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall with a name board; tell us your terminal or just your flight number and we work it out. Pick-up parking is charged per terminal, which is why we confirm the meeting point by text before you land.
Windsor
We cover Windsor, Eton, Old Windsor and Datchet door-to-door. Hotel pick-ups (including the Castle Hotel and Macdonald Windsor) are routine for our drivers, who know the one-way system around the town centre.

Do you run at night and in the early morning?
Yes — we operate 24/7 with the same fixed price at 4am as at 4pm. Early-morning departures and late-night arrivals are a large part of what we do; see our night transfers guide for how pick-up timing works overnight.
