Everything you need for a smooth transfer from Novotel London West in Hammersmith to Heathrow Airport — the fixed fare, the route, how long it takes and which terminal you need. Updated for 2026.
A taxi from Novotel London West to Heathrow Airport with RushXO is a fixed fare from £47, agreed before you travel with no meter and no surge. The drive is roughly 15 miles and takes about 37–60 min in normal traffic. Below we break down the cost, the route from Hammersmith, the timing and the terminals so there are no surprises on the day.
Our indicative saloon fare is from £47 one way, fixed at the moment you book. That price includes tolls and any waiting time built into a flight-tracked pickup — there is never a night premium or surge multiplier. Larger executive cars, MPVs and 8-seaters are available at a fixed supplement for groups and extra luggage.

| Terminal 3 | 15 mi | 37–60 min | from £47 |

From Novotel London West the driver heads west across London and onto the M4 or A4 corridor into Heathrow, choosing live the fastest of the two depending on traffic. Allow extra time in the morning and evening peaks; because the fare is fixed, heavy traffic never increases what you pay, only the patience required. For very early departures the roads are clear and the run is at the quicker end of the 37–60 min range.
Heathrow has Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. Your driver will take you to the exact terminal for your airline and drop you at departures — tell us the flight number when you book and we will confirm the terminal. The fixed fare is the same whichever terminal you use.
For the return leg we track your inbound flight, so if you land early or late the driver adjusts automatically and a free wait is included. Choose the meet-and-greet option and your driver will be waiting in arrivals with a name board and help with the bags back to Novotel London West.
App-based cars surge exactly when everyone wants a ride — early flights, bad weather, big events — and a meter keeps running in traffic. A pre-booked RushXO transfer locks the price, guarantees a licensed driver and a clean car at the Novotel London West door, and takes the stress out of catching a flight. It is usually cheaper than the same journey on a surging app, and far more comfortable than the train-and-shuttle combination with luggage.
