Taxi from Heathrow to Slough: Step-by-Step Arrival Guide
Just landed? How a taxi from Heathrow to Slough works — from baggage reclaim to your front door — with meeting points, delay handling, journey times and fares.
Getting a taxi from Heathrow to Slough should be the easiest part of your trip — Slough is one of the closest towns to the airport. Here's exactly how a pre-booked arrival works, step by step.
Before You Fly: Book With Your Flight Number
Book online, in the app or by calling 01753 572121. Give us your flight number, terminal and Slough address. We use the flight number to track your plane, so you don't need to update us if it's early or late. Your fixed fare is confirmed straight away — see the Heathrow to Slough taxi fare for prices by terminal.
Step 1: Landing and Passport Control
We track your flight and time the pickup around when you actually land, so there's no need to rush through immigration or baggage reclaim. If you're held up — a long passport queue or a missing bag — call us and your driver will wait.
Step 2: Meeting Your Driver
On a meet & greet booking, your driver waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal with a name board. Pre-booked cars can't wait at the terminal kerb, so your driver walks you to the car in the short-stay car park, helping with your bags.
- Terminal 5 — British Airways arrivals
- Terminals 2 & 3 — Star Alliance, Virgin Atlantic, oneworld partners and more
- Terminal 4 — SkyTeam and other airlines
Step 3: The Drive to Slough
From Terminal 5, the route runs along the A4 Bath Road through Colnbrook and Langley into Slough — usually around 15 minutes. From the central terminals or Terminal 4, expect around 20–25 minutes. Your fare is fixed, so traffic doesn't change what you pay.
Travelling With Children or Lots of Luggage?
Tell us when you book. We can provide child seats on request and send an estate, MPV or 8-seater if you have extra cases, golf clubs or a pushchair.
Why Not Just Take the Train?
There's no direct train from Heathrow to Slough — the Elizabeth line runs east from Heathrow, so you'd change at Hayes & Harlington, then still need to get from Slough station to your door. After a long flight, a taxi from Heathrow to Slough is the simplest option. Compare all three in our taxi vs train vs bus guide.
