Taxis from the Airport
If you are flying into Heathrow, just simply picking up a London Black Cab can be expensive. They are allowed to charge £35 for
going outside the M25 Motorway (and they do, plus whatever is on the meter). Even though this was brought in for journeys from
Central London when there would be no chance of a return fare, an eight mile journey from the airport to Windsor can cost you
£50 - £55 as a result. If you phone one the local "mini-cab" firms from Windsor they will meet you at an appointed location and
charge you £15 - £18 (always ask).
So when you arrive at the airport (as soon as you can) phone 01753 841414 for Windsor Radio Cars or 01753 858888 for 5 Star
taxis. Tell them where you are in the arrival process and they will know how long it will take to get outside. As you are working on
a fixed price, there is no benefit to wandering around Windsor with their meter running.
