Taxi Transfers from Heathrow Airport to Guildford

Heathrow Airport to Guildford: Transfers and Taxi
Transfers from Heathrow Airport to Guildford
Situated in South East England, in the county of Surrey, Guildford is a small but cozy town. Tourists visit it for its spectacular old castle, guildhall, museum, theaters and galleries, and the house of world-famous English writer Lewis Carroll. Also, the town is considered one of the best places for shopping in the United Kingdom — there, one can find shops for all tastes and budgets.

A pre-booked private transfer will help you get to the town from Heathrow air hub quickly and comfortably:

1. Your driver will meet you inside the terminal building right when you arrive, so you won’t have to wait a minute (you will easily recognize him, as he will be holding a sign with your name on it). Besides, he will help you carry your heavy suitcases to the car.

2. You will prepay for your ride in the preferred currency and thus won’t have to waste your time at a currency exchange desk upon arrival. This will also help you avoid the airport’s bad exchange rates and fees.

3. You will travel in the most comfortable vehicle for you. When booking a transfer, you can choose from several car classes (from Economy to Minibus) and pick the one that suits all your travel needs. Whether you’re a family with children or a group of travelers, you will find the perfect vehicle for you. Besides, you can add some extra services to your booking for a more comfortable journey: a child or booster seat, a bottle of drinking water, an additional stop on the route, etc. 

This option can save you quite a lot of hassle and stress in case of a night arrival.

Travel from Heathrow air hub to a hotel in Guildford by transfer takes approximately 40 minutes and costs 78 euros.

Taxi from Heathrow Airport to Guildford

Taxis are available outside each airport terminal. At the ranks, you can find traditional black cabs — they are metered and can carry up to five passengers. Also, there are counters of some local taxi firms inside the terminals — there, you can order a cab at a fixed price. An additional charge applies when booking a cab by phone, so keep this in mind if you are going to call one of the local companies. 

The estimated cost of taxi travel from Heathrow Airport to Guildford is 50 GBP or 56 euros (for a standard 4-seater car).

There might be a shortage of taxis (and even no taxis at all) at the stands during peak times. To book a cab through a desk inside the terminal, you may have to spend a lot of time standing in a line. If you want to leave the air hub as fast as possible, a pre-arranged private transfer will be a better choice.

Public Transport from Heathrow Airport to Guildford
The only public transport option that can take you from the air hub directly to the town is the RailAir 2 coach service. Using that service, you will reach the town in approximately 50 minutes. The single adult fare is 9 GBP (10 euros) if you buy a ticket on the official website or via the app and 10 GBP (11 euros) if you buy it on the bus. RA2 buses leave hourly from the central bus station between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 and also make a stop at Terminal 5 (they do not pick up passengers at Terminal 4). They do not operate between 10 pm and 4 am.

This option will only take you to the town’s rail station, and from there, you will need to take another public transport service or a cab to reach your accommodation. This might be tiring if you have a lot of baggage or travel with children or if you’ve had a long flight.

About the Route
The distance from the air hub to the town is 39 kilometers. There might be heavy traffic on the M25 motorway in the morning and in the evening on weekdays.
