Minicabees runs fixed-fare taxis from Reading to all eight airports we cover, from Heathrow Airport at about 29 miles to the longer runs up to London and the west. The price is agreed before you travel and does not change with traffic or time of day.

Every airport arrival is flight-tracked with 60 minutes of free waiting, and executive cars are available at rates close to our standard saloon.

Airport transfers from Reading

Reading is on the M4 with Heathrow half an hour east, which makes it one of the strongest airport-transfer towns in the country. Every distance below is measured driving mileage from Reading with an off-peak drive time, and the fare is fixed before you travel.

Heathrow Airport — 29 miles, about 40 minutes

Heathrow is the UK hub for long-haul, with the widest choice of destinations and the most frequent departures.

Southampton Airport — 47 miles, about 1 hour 5 minutes

One of the easiest airports in the country to use, with a short walk from drop-off to check-in and quick security.

London City Airport — 50 miles, about 1 hour 35 minutes

London City suits business travel to European capitals, and a car door to door beats dragging a case across London.

Gatwick Airport — 59 miles, about 1 hour 15 minutes

Gatwick is the usual choice for European leisure routes and long-haul charter, with two terminals and a broad carrier mix.

Luton Airport — 60 miles, about 1 hour 15 minutes

Luton serves a wide low-cost network, and going by road avoids the awkward rail journey with a change in London.

Bournemouth Airport — 72 miles, about 1 hour 30 minutes

A small single-terminal airport where you clear security in minutes, which often makes it quicker end to end than a bigger hub.

Bristol Airport — 86 miles, about 1 hour 50 minutes

Bristol covers a broad low-cost and holiday network and is the natural departure point for the West Country.

Stansted Airport — 88 miles, about 1 hour 55 minutes

Stansted is the furthest of the London airports for most of our customers, which is exactly where a fixed fare earns its keep.
