Stansted Airport Taxi runs a fixed-fare Slough to Heathrow short-hop transfer — one of the shortest airport runs in the country. Approximately 7 miles in 15 to 25 minutes via the M4 (Junctions 5 or 6 to J4) or the A4 Bath Road through Langley and Colnbrook. All four terminals covered, both directions — Terminal 5 the closest, straight off the Heathrow spur.
Door-to-door pickup across Slough town, the Slough Trading Estate (Europe's largest single-owner industrial estate), Slough Station, Langley, Cippenham, Chalvey and Upton — plus Burnham, Datchet, Colnbrook and Farnham Royal. Fare shown up front where several rivals hide it behind a quote form. On a short hop, the fixed price and 15-minute drive are the whole point.
Slough has a rare advantage on short-hop airport transfers: two viable direct roads to Heathrow. Our drivers know when each is quicker.
Most Heathrow feeder towns have one obvious route. Slough has two — the fast M4 and the reliable A4 Bath Road — and the fastest choice changes several times a day depending on which road is congested. That local knowledge saves 5 to 10 minutes on this short hop. Here's how each route runs.

Why this matters on a 7-mile route
On a 170-mile long-distance route, 5 minutes lost on a wrong choice is a 3% difference. On this 7-mile Slough short-hop, 5 minutes is a 25-30% swing — the difference between comfortable and rushing for the check-in cut-off. Our drivers check live conditions at the pickup point and take whichever road is genuinely faster right now. Same fixed fare either way.
Same fare in both directions
Every fare is fixed at booking, locked in the confirmation email, and shown up front — where several rivals on this specific route hide the price behind a quote form. Applies identically to both directions. Calculated from our published mileage rate card — minimum fare covers the first five miles, then a per-mile rate applies — at approximately 7 miles.
Competitor context: visible competitor saloon fares scatter roughly £15 to £30 — a wide spread that usually reflects hidden add-ons, quote-form bait pricing, or dodgy meter-based charging. Our £32.60 sits at the top of that visible range because it's the total fixed fare, no add-ons on the day.

Slough Trading Estate is the largest single-owner industrial estate in Europe — a dense cluster of FMCG, tech and pharma HQs whose people fly out of Heathrow constantly. On this route we run the highest proportion of corporate accounts of any Heathrow feeder. The 15-minute Trading Estate → T5 hop is one of the most repeated bookings in our system.
Home to major FMCG, technology and pharmaceutical HQs, plus consulting, IT services and professional support firms — many of them with weekly or daily executive travel to Heathrow. We serve the Estate with named pickup zones, priority dispatch for time-critical departures, and corporate accounts that turn 30 monthly rides into a single VAT invoice.

Saloon fixed fare
Executive travellers on 07:00 T5 departures need 05:15 pickup certainty, not a wait for a car to arrive. Our corporate accounts get priority dispatch, driver continuity for repeat routes, and vehicles matched to travel purpose — Mercedes E-Class for board-level travel, MPV6/7 for delegation trips, saloon for solo commuters. The 15-minute drive is only useful if the car is there on time.
Solo commuters take the saloon at £32.60 — the entry choice; business travellers on early T5 departures book the Mercedes E-Class at £39.60 for legroom and phone-call quiet; families with luggage go MPV6 at £37.50; corporate delegations of 6–8 fit the Mercedes Vito at £42.38. Fixed pricing across every tier, no surprises. TfL-licensed, DBS-checked drivers who run this 7-mile corridor multiple times daily.

The bus is genuinely cheap on this route. The rail option isn't direct — you change at Hayes & Harlington onto the Elizabeth line. The taxi is fastest and door-to-door. Honest comparison across the three modes:

The Slough calculation: a group of 4 pays about £8 total on the bus vs £37.50 in the MPV6 — the bus wins on cost. But the bus takes 30-45 min including walk to and from stops, drops at a central bus station requiring a walk with luggage, and doesn't run late-night. On a business trip with a 07:00 T5 flight, that's a false economy. Solo backpacker → bus. Business traveller with laptop bag → taxi.

Q:How much is a taxi from Slough to Heathrow?
A:From £32.60 saloon up to £46.20 Executive Mercedes V-Class MPV, based on approximately 7 miles via M4 or A4 Bath Road. Every fare is fixed at booking, applies in both directions and includes the Heathrow drop-off charge, flight monitoring on returns and meet-and-greet at all four terminals. Competitor headline saloon fares scatter £15 to £30 — a wide spread that often reflects hidden add-ons or quote-form pricing.
Q:How long does the journey take, and how far is it?
A:About 15 to 25 minutes for the 7 miles, via the M4 (Junctions 5–4) or A4 Bath Road. On such a short run the variable is traffic near the Heathrow spur, not the distance — a few minutes of congestion makes more difference than the mileage. Our drivers know both approaches and pick whichever is clearer at the time.
Q:Do you take the M4 or the A4 Bath Road?
A:Both. The M4 (J5/J6 → J4) is faster in most conditions, under 15 minutes off-peak. The A4 Bath Road through Langley and Colnbrook is the reliable backup when the M4 is congested, typically 20–25 minutes. Our drivers check live conditions at pickup and pick whichever is genuinely faster right now. Same fixed fare either way.
Q:Is a taxi better than the bus or train?
A:Local buses — First 7, 8, A4 — are cheapest at the £2 cap but take 30–45 minutes with stops. There's no direct train: rail means changing at Hayes & Harlington onto the Elizabeth line, 30–40 minutes door-to-platform. A fixed-fare taxi is the fastest and only truly door-to-door option at about 15–20 minutes. Bus wins on headline solo cost; taxi wins on time, terminal drop and group cost.
Q:Which Heathrow terminal is closest to Slough?
A:Terminal 5 is closest to Slough — the nearest, most westerly terminal, straight off the Heathrow spur. Useful if you have a choice of BA departures. We cover all four terminals (T2, T3, T4, T5) at the same fixed-fare tier; the driver drops at the correct set-down zone outbound and meets you inside Arrivals with a name-board on returns.
Q:Do you cover the Trading Estate and outlying areas?
A:Yes. Coverage includes the Slough Trading Estate (Europe's largest single-owner industrial estate) as a named pickup zone, plus Slough Station, Wexham Park Hospital, and outlying towns of Burnham (SL1), Datchet (SL3), Colnbrook (SL3) and Farnham Royal (SL2). Same fixed-fare structure with exact fare confirmed at booking.
Q:Do you track my flight and meet me on the return?
A:Yes. Give us your flight number at booking and we monitor it in real time via IATA feed. You're met inside Arrivals with a name-board at your terminal and 60 minutes of complimentary waiting is included from actual landing time — comfortable for passport, baggage and customs.
Q:Can I book for a group or business account?
A:Yes. MPV5, MPV6, MPV7 and MPV8 vehicles seat up to eight with luggage assistance and free child seats. Slough Trading Estate corporate accounts get monthly billing, priority dispatch, fixed corporate rate cards and driver continuity — well suited to the Estate's dense concentration of Heathrow-facing FMCG, tech and pharma firms.
