Cambridge to Heathrow Airport taxi

The figure at the top of this page is a live quote for a saloon on the day you are reading it, and it is locked once you book. It covers the car rather than each seat, so it does not climb with a third passenger, a heavy bag or a Friday afternoon. Put your own date into the form to price your journey.

Travelling alone, almost certainly. National Express advertises the 727 from £14.70 one way, and no airport car covers 71 miles for that. The arithmetic turns as soon as you are not alone: two seats are £29.40 and three are £44.10, all of it before you have moved a suitcase.

Because it does. Its Cambridge route page opens at £14.70 with a fastest run of 2 hours 15 minutes, while its Heathrow airport page lists the same pair from £20.50, fastest 2h 05m, with 14 services a day. Both were read on the same day. Coach pricing moves with demand, so treat either number as a floor and check the fare for your own departure.

Our routing engine puts the free-flow drive at about 95 minutes. Free-flow means an empty road with no traffic model behind it, so treat it as the floor and not the plan. The live duration shown at the top of this page is measured when you load it, which is the number worth trusting.

23:30 from Terminal 2, with the first at 07:35 and up to 7 departures in between. That eight-hour hole overnight is the single strongest argument for booking a car: a delayed evening arrival can miss the last one and leave you with nothing until the following morning.

About 71 miles, or 115 km, by road. It is a long enough hop that the difference between a direct run and a journey with a change compounds, particularly at either end of the day.

Yes. Give the porters' lodge or the street address when you book instead of the station or the city centre, and that is where the car goes. Cambridge's centre has enough restricted streets that naming the exact destination in advance saves an argument on arrival.

Flight tracking comes as standard, so your driver watches the actual arrival time and shifts the pick-up to match rather than leaving without you. The included free waiting period, described under What it costs, starts when the aircraft lands and not when you were scheduled to.

For the whole car. That is the difference that decides this route: the 727 charges £14.70 a head, so three of you pay it three times, while the car takes one payment no matter who is in it.

A cancellation more than 24 hours ahead of pick-up is refunded in full; inside that window the fare stands. Changes go through the booking link in your confirmation email on the same 24-hour rule.
