“How much is a taxi to Heathrow or Gatwick?” depends on where you start and how you’re charged. This guide gives indicative fixed fares, explains what affects the price, and shows why a fixed fare is the safest way to know your cost up front — rather than a meter or a surging app.

- Heathrow from around £58; Gatwick from around £74 (indicative saloon).
- Your address, vehicle and time affect the exact price.
- Fixed fares are agreed up front — no meter, no surge.
- Groups can split an MPV, often cheaper per person.

01 / FARESIndicative fares
As a guide, Rushxo’s fixed saloon fares are from around £58 to Heathrow and from around £74 to Gatwick (indicative, from central London). Your exact fare depends on your pickup address, and executive or larger vehicles are quoted on booking.
02 / WHATWhat affects the price
The main factors are distance from your address, the vehicle class (saloon, executive, MPV), and passenger and luggage numbers. With a fixed fare, tolls and the airport drop-off charge are included, so there are no add-ons.
03 / WHYWhy a fixed fare is safest
A meter climbs in traffic and an app surges at busy times — both leave the final cost uncertain. A fixed fare is agreed before you travel and doesn’t move, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
