The journey: Windsor to Heathrow Airport
At 8 miles, Windsor to Heathrow is one of our shortest airport runs — but also one where timing matters most, because so many Windsor departures are early-morning long-haul flights. We collect from any Windsor, Eton or Datchet address, at any hour, with the fare fixed when you book.
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
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.
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.

Catching a 6am departure or landing on the last flight in? This route runs 24 hours a day with no night supplement and no surge pricing. Overnight the roads are clear, so the journey is usually at the fast end of 15–25 min. We confirm your driver the evening before for pre-5am pick-ups, and drivers wait free for 60 minutes after landing on airport collections.
