I have seen quotes from 25 GBP to 54 GBP on this thread. Yes, I know it is convienent and comfortable using a chauffeur service. But you pay for convience and comfort. I can get to the suburbs from Heathrow for 3 GBP on the Tube and even less by bus.

I would strongly suggest if you want to use Swiss Cottage Cars, to call them instead of booking on their website. According to recent users, it will be a lot less expensive that way!
I dial 101-6400-011-44-207-431-2700. Just be prepared with your flight number and arrival time, and actual address of where you are going. They will confirm an actual price.

I just booked a round trip with JusAirports.com (booked on-line). 53GBP cash (66 if credit card, so good saving for cash). I booked an Estate car for family of 4. I literally just booked, so I haven't recieved any confirmation yet. There prices seem very reasonable as compared to a regular taxi or other services.

I used justairports two weeks ago to go from Heathrow to my hotel in London and back again. Good service, price was right. We had some confusion upon arrival and our driver had to wait a very long time. He was helpful in bringing us to a different terminal to find our luggage, and he charged a very reasonable waiting rate. I believe their included waiting time at the airport was also longer than other services I checked.
I had originally thought we might take the Heathrow Express to the airport, since our hotel was not far from Paddington, but the cost ended up being significantly higher than justairports. The hotel offered to arrange a driver for 35 GBP, which was also much higher than justairports.
I didn't book round trip at first because I didn't know what other plans we might make to return to the airport and their round trip rates were no less expensive than their one way rate doubled. When I called from London to book the return trip, I was quoted a slightly lower rate (19 GBP) than I had seen on line.

Another questio about jJustAirports? Since I opted for a round trip paid with cash, do they take 1/2 on the 1st leg and the balance on the 2nd? Or the entire amount up front or at the return? I just want to make sure we have enough GBPs on hand when we arrive.
