Currency Clarity

ServiceGBPCADComparison
Airport rank taxi£120-150$190-240Very expensive
Uber at Heathrow (surge)£100-150$158-240Unpredictable surge
Express fixed£60$95Fixed, no surge

Canadians save $95-145 CAD per trip vs Uber surge pricing.

At Uber's normal (non-surge) rate, pricing is comparable — the real advantage is Express's guaranteed fixed price and included meet & greet, no matter the time or demand.

Heathrow to Central London: What to Expect

Getting from Heathrow to central London takes 45-70 minutes by car, depending on traffic and your destination. Our fixed price covers the entire journey — no meter running, no surprises when you arrive.

Unlike the Heathrow Express (which only reaches Paddington, leaving you to find onward transport with luggage) or the Piccadilly line (slow, multiple changes, difficult with bags), a pre-booked transfer takes you door-to-door in one journey.

Meet & Greet at Heathrow — Explained

What "Meet & Greet" actually means:

Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall, not outside in a car park or drop-off zone. They hold a name board with your name clearly visible. As soon as you clear customs, you simply walk out and find them.

No Wandering

No wandering around an unfamiliar terminal trying to find "arrivals pickup."

No Confusion

No confusion about which exit to use.

No Standing in the Rain

No standing in the rain trying to spot a random car.

Immediate Help

Driver helps with luggage immediately.

Available at: Heathrow (all 5 terminals), Gatwick, London City, Southend
Outside terminal pickup: Luton and Stansted (driver waits just outside arrivals)
