Do you cover all Heathrow terminals?
Yes – Terminal 2, Terminal 3, Terminal 4 and Terminal 5. Just tell us which terminal when you book and we will drop you at the correct entrance.
Is the price fixed or metered?
All our airport transfers are fixed-price. Once we confirm the fare it will not change because of traffic or minor delays.
Do you offer meet and greet at Heathrow?
Yes. For arrivals we can arrange for the driver to meet you inside the arrivals hall with a name board. Free waiting time is included for international flights (usually 30–45 minutes after landing, plus extra if the flight is delayed).
Can I book a taxi for a group or with lots of luggage?
Absolutely. We have MPVs and 8-seater minibuses. Let us know the number of passengers and bags so we allocate the right vehicle.
Do you operate 24 hours a day?
Yes. United Taxis runs 24/7, including early morning departures and late-night arrivals from Heathrow.
Is it better than the train?
For most people with luggage, children or tight timings, a direct taxi is far more convenient. The train requires changes and can take longer door-to-door once walking and waiting are included. A private transfer is often better value for families or small groups.
