When not to book us: For a lone traveller with a rucksack and an afternoon to spend, £12.90 on the 230 is unbeatable value and we will not argue with it. This route turns on hours rather than pounds. The quickest scheduled run is 3 hours 45 minutes, while the free-flow drive is about 157 minutes over 131 miles, so the ticket costs you the better part of a working day each way. Two passengers already pay £25.80, four pay £51.60, and none of that buys back the extra hour and a half. Departures thin out too: up to 12 on the 230 with 2 more on the 240, the last leaving Heathrow Central Bus Station at 23:00 and nothing again until 00:30. Book the car when you are landing late, when the group is two or more, when you are carrying a case each, or when the meeting the next morning makes an extra 90 minutes on the road the expensive option.
Where you meet your driver
- Book to the exact Nottingham address. The city has two universities, a ring of suburbs and a compact restricted centre, so a postcode does far more good than a district name.
- Keep the driver's number to hand. It arrives in your supplier details email, which is a different message from the booking confirmation you get first.
- Because your flight is tracked, a delay on the inbound moves the collection to the real landing time. The free waiting period included with the fare is described under What it costs at the top of this page.
- Standard service is express pick-up at the terminal's designated pick-up point. If you would rather be met inside arrivals holding a name board, that is meet and greet and it is a paid extra at checkout.
- On a 131-mile run, tell us your flight number even if you think the arrival is safe. It is what lets a driver leave the East Midlands at the right hour rather than a fixed one.
Contact your driver as soon as you land, their number is in your supplier details email.
Arrivals-hall meet and greet with a name board is available as a paid extra at checkout.

Questions people ask about this route
How much does a taxi from Nottingham to Heathrow cost?
The live quote at the top of this page prices a saloon for the date you are looking at, and it is fixed once booked. It is charged for the car, so the number does not change if a fourth person joins or if the road is busy. Enter your own date to see the figure for your journey.
How long does the coach from Nottingham to Heathrow take?
3 hours 45 minutes on the fastest departure. The free-flow drive is roughly 157 minutes, so scheduled services add over an hour before you count getting to and from the stops at either end.
Is it cheaper to take the coach?
For one person, clearly: fares open at £12.90 one way. Two travelling together pay £25.80 and a group of four pays £51.60, at which point the per-car fare and the hour and a half you get back start to argue for themselves.
How far is Nottingham from Heathrow by road?
About 131 miles, or 211 km. That is the longest of the routes we price out of this airport, and it is the reason the comparison here is about time rather than money.
What are the first and last departures?
The last leaves Heathrow Central Bus Station at 23:00 and the first goes at 00:30, with up to 12 runs a day on the 230 and 2 more on the 240. Anything landing in that overnight window has no scheduled option until the small hours.
Can you collect at four in the morning for an early flight?
Yes, and the charge is the same as any other hour because it is agreed in advance rather than metered on a night tariff. Leaving Nottingham before dawn for a mid-morning departure from Heathrow is one of the most common bookings on this route.
Will the driver wait if my flight is delayed?
Yes. We watch the inbound flight and reset the pick-up to the actual landing, at no extra charge, and the fare includes a free waiting allowance from that moment. The allowance itself is set out under What it costs above.
Do you carry luggage for a family of four?
Choose the vehicle at booking rather than hoping on the day. The table on this page prices an estate and a people carrier alongside the saloon, and the quote you accept is for the space you selected.
Is the price per person?
No, it is for the whole car, which is the structural difference from a £12.90 seat. Three or four people change the sum entirely.
Can I change or cancel the booking?
Cancel more than 24 hours before your pick-up for a full refund. Within 24 hours the fare is charged in full. Amendments are made through the booking link in your confirmation email, to the same deadline.
