Your options for getting to Heathrow from Reading
Heathrow Airport is one of the busiest in the world, and if you're flying out of Terminal 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, getting there from Reading doesn't have to be stressful. Here's a breakdown of your main options.
1. Private hire taxi (recommended)
A door-to-door taxi from Reading to Heathrow takes approximately 45–70 minutes depending on traffic. With Britscars, we monitor your flight, carry your luggage to the vehicle, and drop you right at your terminal entrance.
Prices start from £45 for an economy vehicle. Executive and VIP options are also available.
2. Reading to Heathrow by train
The Elizabeth Line runs directly from Reading station to Heathrow (all terminals), taking around 40–50 minutes. However, you'll need to manage your own luggage on busy trains — not ideal with large suitcases.
3. National Express coach
National Express operates coach services from Reading to Heathrow. These are cheaper but take longer, often stopping at multiple points, and don't pick you up from your home or hotel.
Why choose a private hire taxi?
- Door-to-door service — no dragging luggage through stations
- Fixed price agreed upfront
- Flight tracking included on airport runs
- Driver contacts you 30 minutes before pickup
- Child seats available on request
