Barnet airport transfers, taxis and minicabs 24/7

Why Barnet is perfectly placed for airport runs

Barnet has always been a place people passed through on the way somewhere else. It began as a coaching stop on the Great North Road, and today the M25 at South Mimms is only a few minutes north of the High Street. For airport travel that is a real advantage: while cabs from central London queue through the city, a Barnet airport transfer is on the motorway almost straight away.

We run our cars from Friern Barnet, so our drivers know which way to go at each hour of the day. They take the A1000 and Barnet Road out to the M25 early in the morning, and use the North Circular when that is quicker for London City.

Heathrow and Gatwick taxis from Barnet

A Barnet to Heathrow taxi follows the M25 anticlockwise and serves Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5, so tell us your terminal when you book. Gatwick transfers are the longest run, about 70 to 90 minutes round the M25 and down the M23 to the North or South Terminal. For early departures we suggest booking a day or more ahead.

Luton and Stansted airport transfers

These are the two airports where Barnet really wins. A Luton airport taxi from Barnet is often 35 to 45 minutes via the M25 and M1. Stansted transfers head east round the M25 to the M11 and usually take under an hour. Both airports handle most of the budget flights from London, so these are the runs our drivers do most often, including the 4am pickups.

London City Airport cabs for business

London City is the nearest airport in miles but not in minutes, because the route runs along the North Circular through Walthamstow. Our executive cars are regularly booked for City flights and client pickups, and regular journeys can be set up with one call. The same Barnet cars cover meetings and events across the city.

Cheap airport taxis without surprise prices

Every private hire journey in London has to be booked in advance, and that is what keeps an airport fare honest. You see the fixed price for your car before you book, and roadworks or motorway delays will not change it afterwards. Because you pay per car rather than per seat, two or more travellers with luggage often spend less than on train tickets and a taxi at each end.

Barnet transfer station pickups

Plenty of our journeys start or finish at a local station rather than a front door. We meet trains and tubes at High Barnet and Totteridge & Whetstone on the Northern line, New Barnet and Oakleigh Park on the Great Northern line, and Cockfosters on the Piccadilly line. A Barnet transfer from station to airport saves hauling cases across London, and your driver can wait at the station entrance if your train is running late.

Coming home: airport pickups to Barnet

For a return trip, add your flight number and your driver tracks the flight, so an early or delayed landing is taken into account. After a long flight, the drive home to High Barnet, New Barnet or Whetstone is already sorted.
