Drop-Off at Terminal 5 Departures
Your driver takes you to the Terminal 5 departures forecourt (postcode TW6 2GA). Heathrow charges every vehicle £7 per entry to drop off at a terminal, with a 10-minute limit; that charge is already inside your fare, so there is nothing to pay at the kerb. Read more in our Heathrow drop-off charge guide.
Plan to arrive at the terminal in good time for your airline’s check-in and bag-drop deadlines. When you book, tell us your flight time and we will suggest a pickup time that allows for traffic on the M4 and M25.
Pick-Up From Terminal 5 Arrivals
When we collect you, the driver tracks your flight and waits 60 minutes free from the time you land, so passport control and baggage reclaim are covered. You meet your driver with a name board at the south meeting point near Costa Coffee in the Terminal 5 arrivals hall; your booking confirmation gives the driver’s details. Our Heathrow Terminal 5 pick-up guide explains the meeting points, the pick-up charges and the postcode for anyone collecting a passenger themselves.
Taxi or Train to Terminal 5?
Terminal 5 has its own stations for the Elizabeth line, the Piccadilly line and the Heathrow Express, and the Piccadilly line runs all night on Friday and Saturday. Trains are the cheapest choice for one person with light luggage. A taxi makes more sense when you have:
- Luggage or children: door to door, with no stairs, changes or carrying cases through stations.
- Two or more people: four people in an estate from Central London pay £61 in total, about £15 each.
- An early or late flight: we run 24 hours a day, every day.
- A journey from outside London: from Reading, Oxford or Cambridge, a taxi avoids changing trains in London.
