Where Your Driver Meets You at Each Terminal
Heathrow doesn't let drivers collect on the departures forecourt. Its rule is short: "No pick-ups or waiting are permitted in the drop-off areas." So your driver meets you in the car park beside your terminal.
While you're in the air, your driver waits at the Authorised Vehicle Area on Northern Perimeter Road. Once you land, they move to your terminal's meeting point.
Heathrow meeting points by terminal
| Terminal | Where your driver meets you | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 2 | Terminal Parking, Terminal 2 | Heathrow describes it as a 2-minute walk from the terminal doors. |
| Terminal 3 | Terminal Parking, Terminal 3 | Same short walk from arrivals. |
| Terminal 4 | Park & Ride Zone A or the Priority Pick-Up area | Terminal Parking in the T4 multi-storey closed on 23 June 2026. |
| Terminal 5 | Terminal Parking, Terminal 5 | Short walk from the arrivals hall. |
Meeting points come from Heathrow's passenger pick-up page (checked 10 October 2026). Heathrow's driving page confirms the Terminal 4 Priority Pick-Up area is not affected by the works. Any car park charge is already in your fare.
Each terminal has its own guide with airlines and step-by-step directions. See taxi to Heathrow Terminal 2, Terminal 3, Terminal 4 and Terminal 5.
Taxi to Heathrow: The £7 Drop-Off Charge Is Included
Heathrow's own wording is clear: "A £7 charge applies at Heathrow every time a vehicle enters the terminal drop-off areas." Source: Heathrow terminal drop-off charge (checked 10 October 2026).
Since 1 January 2026, each stop is also capped at 10 minutes. Source: Heathrow's 2026 drop-off charge decision.
You never see that £7 as an extra. It sits inside your fixed fare, and we pay it. Driving yourself instead? Our Heathrow drop-off charge guide covers paying, penalties and free alternatives. see our Heathrow drop-off and pick-up points.
Taxi from Heathrow: Delays, Waiting and Meet and Greet
Taxis from Heathrow Airport run day and night with us. Booking a taxi from London Heathrow after a long-haul flight? Here's how the wait works.
What happens when you land
| Situation | What we do |
|---|---|
| Your flight is delayed | We track it and move your pickup time, at no extra cost. |
| Free waiting | 45 minutes from when your flight actually lands. |
| Longer than 45 minutes | £20 an hour, charged pro rata. |
| Your flight diverts | We quote a new price from the airport you land at. |
| Meet and greet | £20. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board. |
Without meet and greet, you walk to the meeting point in the table above. With it, your driver meets you inside and walks you to the car.
Pre-Booked Taxi, Black Cab or Uber at Heathrow?
Three ways to leave Heathrow by car, each priced differently. Here's how they compare on the two things travellers ask about most.
Heathrow taxi options compared
| Option | Where you get in | How the price is set |
|---|---|---|
| Fastlane pre-booked taxi | Terminal Parking at T2, T3 and T5. Zone A or Priority Pick-Up at T4. | Fixed when you book, with Heathrow's charges included. |
| Black cab | "The ranks outside each Heathrow terminal." | TfL says you pay "the full fare displayed on the meter". |
| Uber | Uber riders meet their driver in Terminal Parking. | Uber says cost depends on "tolls, city fees, and current demand for rides". |
Sources: Heathrow's taxi and minicab page, TfL taxi fares and Uber's Heathrow page (all checked 10 October 2026).
A Heathrow cab from the Heathrow taxi rank suits travellers who haven't booked. Booking a cab to Heathrow from home is different: an airport taxi to Heathrow booked ahead is easier to budget.
If you're comparing each Heathrow taxi company, check two things. Who pays the airport charges, and who tracks your flight?
Is a Heathrow minicab the same thing? Yes. Heathrow minicabs, like ours, are licensed private hire cars. A minicab to Heathrow just means a car you book in advance.
