Heathrow Terminal 4 Taxi – Fixed-Price Drop-Off & Pickup

Terminal 4 sits on Heathrow’s southern side, away from the central Terminals 2 and 3. It has its own road access, its own forecourt and its own arrivals hall – so knowing the terminal before you travel saves time. Heathrow Airport Cabs runs fixed-price taxis to and from Terminal 4 around the clock, from London, the Home Counties and beyond.

Which airlines use Terminal 4?

Terminal 4 is used mainly by Qatar Airways, KLM and Air France, Etihad, Saudia, Malaysia Airlines and several other long-haul carriers. Airlines do move between terminals from time to time, so always check your booking – or give us your flight number and we will confirm the terminal for you.

Getting to Terminal 4 by road

Terminal 4 is reached from junction 14 of the M25 or via the A30 and the Southern Perimeter Road. That makes it quicker to reach from south and west London, Surrey and Berkshire than the central terminals. From central London, drivers take the M4 to junction 3 or 4 and follow the perimeter road round.

Drop-off is on the departures forecourt directly outside check-in. Heathrow charges a forecourt drop-off fee at every terminal; your quote will show how this is handled.

Terminal 4 arrivals and meet & greet

Arrivals at Terminal 4 come out on the ground floor. With our meet & greet service, your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board, helps with luggage and walks you to the car in the short-stay car park. We track your flight, so if you land early or late, the pickup time moves with it.

Moving between Terminal 4 and other terminals

Terminal 4 is not connected to Terminals 2, 3 and 5 on foot. Free transfer trains run from Terminal 4 to the central area, and connecting passengers airside use Heathrow’s transfer buses. If you are switching terminals after a long-haul arrival with heavy bags, a short taxi between terminals is often easier – we can arrange it.

Hotels near Terminal 4

The Hilton London Heathrow Terminal 4 is linked to the terminal by a covered walkway, and several Bath Road hotels are a few minutes’ drive away. We run transfers between these hotels and any terminal, as well as from the hotel to central London.

Driving and parking at Heathrow vs. a taxi

Driving yourself means paying for fuel, the terminal drop-off charge or airport parking, and allowing time for the long-stay shuttle bus. Short-stay car parks are convenient but priced by the hour, and long-stay parking needs booking in advance to get a reasonable rate. Inside London, older cars may also face ULEZ charges. With a pre-booked taxi there is one fixed price, no parking to organise and nothing to collect when you land – your driver drops you at the departures door and, on the way back, meets you inside the terminal.

Children, extra stops and special assistance

Travelling with young children? Tell us their ages when booking so we can discuss suitable child seats. You can add extra stops – to collect a relative or pick up a colleague on the way – when you book. If you need help at the airport, Heathrow’s free special assistance service can be booked through your airline; our drivers will take you to the assistance point at your terminal and help with your bags.

Vehicles available

• Saloon car – for one to three passengers with standard luggage; the most cost-effective choice.
• Estate car – extra boot space for long-haul suitcases, pushchairs or golf bags.
• Executive car – a premium saloon with a smartly dressed driver, ideal for business travel (see our executive car service).
• MPV – up to six passengers with plenty of luggage.
• 8-seater minivan – for larger families and groups (see Heathrow minibus hire).
