Train or Taxi to Terminal 5?

T5 has direct Heathrow Express and Elizabeth Line service. Both work, until they don't: weekend engineering, morning rush crowds, the last-mile dash with luggage. A pre-booked taxi takes those variables off the table.

Where your driver drops you

We drop you at the Terminal 5 departures level. Look for the BA or Iberia check-in zone signs as you walk in. The departures forecourt has a 10-minute limit, but the £7 drop-off charge is part of your fixed fare.

Best route to T5

Most pre-booked Heathrow taxis to T5 use M25 Junction 14, which lands you right at the terminal. The M25 J14 slip road feeds straight into the T5 access road. There's no need to cross to the central terminal area, which saves five to ten minutes at peak times. For pickups from central London, the route runs west via the A4 and onto the M4. Your driver allows extra time for M25 traffic so you reach T5 unhurried.

Early flights and tight check-in

T5 morning departures stack up between 6am and 9am, especially long-haul BA flights. We confirm your driver the night before. Your car arrives ahead of schedule so check-in queues never become the reason you missed boarding.

Taxi from Heathrow Terminal 5

Landing at T5 from a long-haul BA or Iberia flight? The pickup process is simple, but only if you know where to go.

Where your driver waits

Heathrow doesn't allow private hire pickup at the kerb outside T5. Your driver parks in Short Stay Car Park 5, the multi-storey directly facing the terminal. You walk across after passing through customs. For the full pickup process at every Heathrow terminal, see our Heathrow airport pickup zones guide.

Finding the car park

Once you exit the T5 arrivals hall, head straight ahead toward the multi-storey. The car park is signposted from inside. T5 also has the POD parking shuttle for the outer car parks. Private hire pickups use the short-stay block, not the PODs.

How you find your driver

Before you land, we email your driver's name, car make and registration. Once you're through customs, message your driver on WhatsApp. No UK SIM? Connect to "_Heathrow Wi-Fi" inside T5 and message at no cost.

Prefer to be met inside arrivals?

Add meet and greet for £20 at booking. Your driver waits inside the T5 arrivals hall holding a name board near the exit. It suits passengers with heavy luggage, families, or anyone who'd rather not walk to the car park.
