What does a Reading to Heathrow transfer include?
One car and one chauffeur between your Reading address and your Heathrow terminal, in either direction. Fuel, motorway mileage and the airport parking are inside the fare. Four things come with every booking:
Collected at your door
A house in Caversham, a hotel by the station, an office on a business park or a hall at the university. The chauffeur arrives at the agreed time.
Dropped at your terminal
Terminal 2, 3, 4 or 5: we read it from your flight number and stop at the departures entrance.
Met in Heathrow arrivals
Flying in? The chauffeur waits after customs holding a board with your name; the first 60 minutes after landing are free.
One fare for the whole car
Per car, not per person. The E-Class seats 3 with 2 large cases; the V-Class seats 7 with 7. Child seats are free.
Where does the chauffeur collect me, and where at Heathrow?
In Reading, at the door you name: a house, a hotel entrance, an office reception or a university hall. Give the postcode and any gate code in the notes.
At Heathrow, the drop is the departures entrance of your terminal. There are four in use: 2, 3, 4 and 5. Give us the flight number and we read the terminal from it; you do not need to know it yourself.
Flying in instead? The chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall after customs with a board showing your name. If you cannot see it, call the number in your confirmation before leaving the hall.
How long is the drive from Reading to Heathrow?
Allow 35 to 50 minutes for about 27 miles. The chauffeur joins the M4 east of Reading and stays on it to the Heathrow spur. Our booking form measures the run at about 37 minutes on a weekday morning.
Terminal 5 sits on the western side of the airport and is reached first; Terminals 2, 3 and 4 take a few minutes more. Weekday peaks on the M4 add up to a quarter of an hour.
The service runs 24 hours a day at the same fare. For a 06:00 departure the motorway is clear and the drive sits at the short end.
