Cheltenham to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Cheltenham to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much does a taxi from Cheltenham to London City Airport cost?
The fixed fare is set out in the price table above, from the saloon rate upward by vehicle size. It is fully inclusive with no surge pricing, so the price shown above is what you pay whatever the traffic does that day.
How long does the Cheltenham to London City journey take?
Allow roughly the drive time shown above. Almost the whole route is dual carriageway and motorway along the A40, M40 and A13, so outside the London peaks the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for the North Circular and the Docklands approach.
What is the best route from Cheltenham to London City?
The standard run heads east on the A40 to the M40, then follows the motorway south-east before joining the A406 North Circular and the A13 into the Royal Docks. When the M40/M25 interchange near Denham is congested, an experienced driver will adjust the London approach to keep the journey moving.
Do you pick up from Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Bishop's Cleeve?
Yes. We collect from every Cheltenham neighbourhood including Montpellier, Charlton Kings, Leckhampton and Prestbury, as well as the wider GL area such as Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Bishop's Cleeve and Winchcombe.
