A Nottingham to Heathrow taxi costs £223 in a saloon with Fastlane. It's about 129 miles and 2 hours 20 minutes. The return costs the same, £7 charge included.
Your price depends on two things only: where we collect you and which vehicle you choose. The clock and the calendar don't change it.
| Vehicle | Nottingham to Heathrow | Heathrow to Nottingham |
|---|---|---|
| Saloon | £223 | £223 |
| Business Class | £268 | £268 |
| MPV 6 | £268 | £268 |
| MPV 8 | £388 | £388 |
The city fare also covers West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold and Carlton. Pickups in Bulwell, Wollaton and Mapperley pay £223 too.
So a taxi from Nottingham to Heathrow costs the same from a city flat or a suburban semi. Students in Beeston pay exactly what Mapperley families pay.

You won't need to drag cases to Broad Marsh at midnight. A taxi from Nottingham to Heathrow Airport starts at your front door.
Your driver loads the bags. You sit back, and the next stop is your terminal. Every Nottingham to Heathrow airport taxi works this way.
The route runs down the M1, then round the M25 to Heathrow. A taxi Nottingham to Heathrow covers about 129 miles in about 2 hours 20 minutes.
| What you need to know | Answer |
|---|---|
| Road distance | About 129 miles |
| Usual drive | About 2 hours 20 minutes |
| M25 exit for Terminals 2 and 3 | Junction 15 |
| M25 exit for Terminals 4 and 5 | Junction 14 |
| Book your pickup, normal traffic | 5 hours 20 minutes before take-off |
| Book your pickup, rush hour | 6 hours before take-off |
The mileage and drive time are our own figures for a typical run. The M25 exits are from Heathrow's by-car directions, checked 25 October 2026.
Why so early? Roadworks on the M1 and queues on the M25 add time fast. The spare hours cover check-in and security too.
Flying at 11am on a weekday? Book a 5am pickup to beat the morning peak. On a quiet Sunday, 5.40am leaves enough time.
Tell us your airline or terminal when you book. Your driver pulls up at that terminal's departures area.
Every car entering a Heathrow drop-off zone pays £7, per Heathrow's drop-off charge page (checked 10 October 2026). Your fare already covers it.

| Terminal 2 | Junction 15 | Heathrow Terminal 2 taxi |
| Terminal 3 | Junction 15 | Heathrow Terminal 3 taxi |
| Terminal 4 | Junction 14 | Heathrow Terminal 4 taxi |

A Heathrow to Nottingham taxi costs £223 in a saloon, the same as the outward trip. We watch your flight, so an early or late landing is fine. Heathrow doesn't let pre-booked cars wait at the arrivals kerb. Your driver parks close by and meets you in a car park next to your terminal.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| During your flight | Your driver tracks it from the Authorised Vehicle Area |
| You land at T2, T3 or T5 | Meet your driver in Terminal Parking |
| You land at T4 | Meet at Park & Ride Zone A or Priority Pick-Up |
| Your flight runs late | We move the pickup, free of charge |
| Once you've landed | 45 minutes free waiting, then £20 an hour, pro rata |
| You'd like meeting inside | Meet and greet costs £20, with a name board in arrivals |
These meeting spots follow Heathrow's passenger pick-up guidance (checked 10 October 2026).
