Transportation from Heathrow to Windsor

Anyone know of a reliable/reasonable taxi/pickup service that will meet you at Heathrow Airport and take you to Windsor?

Many people have recommended London Transfers. You can give them a try. Their web site is http://www.london-transfers.com.

You might contact your hotel or B&B to see if they can arrange for the local taxi to meet you. We took a taxi from Windsor to CDG a couple of years ago through the local taxi company. I believe there're only two cabs in the whole town. The rate was the equivalent of about 14 USD.

I used London Transfers last week and found them to be very reliable. They do not take credit cards for payment, but will reserve your booking with one.Also, asking your hotel or B&Bto arrange a taxi for you is a good idea, too. I have done this from Maidenshead to Heathrow. Price is settled in advance and the driver is usually someone the B&B has worked with in the past.<BR>M.

Oh dear Betsy...a taxi from Windsor to CDG? Now that would be expensive... Sorry, I got a little laugh from your slip of the keyboard!

All I do is walk outside the terminal and hail a cab. The distance to Windsor from Heathrow is really quite short, and any taxi can take you there in about 10 minutes.

Karen - Have a good trip. We're not going until June. We got a quote from London Transfers over the internet for 49pounds - sounded high to me. Can't imagine a taxi being much more.<BR><BR>Judi

FLJudi, London Transfers makes no sense for getting from Heathrow to Windsor. They would have to drive emppty all the way out from central London, drive you 5 miles to Windsor and then return empty to London. Get a local metered cab at a quarter the price.
