KB CARS · ACTON (W3)
Acton (W3) to Heathrow transfers From your door to departures
Pre-book a private-hire car from your Acton address to your Heathrow terminal. Get a fixed quote for your journey, including the airport’s terminal drop-off charge. Our 24-hour office can help you choose a vehicle.
Your fare
A fixed quote before you travel
Your fixed quote is based on your full Acton pickup address, travel date and time, Heathrow terminal, passenger group and vehicle choice. Tell us how many people and bags are travelling so we can arrange a suitable car.
The fare includes Heathrow’s own terminal drop-off charge at the airport’s current rate, rather than adding it afterwards. Tell us about any extra stops or other requirements when requesting your quote.
Plan your departure
From your Acton door to the right terminal
A little planning helps your driver find you and gets the journey arranged around your flight.
Set your airport arrival target
Tell us your flight time and when your airline recommends arriving. Heathrow advises three hours before international flights or two before domestic or Europe flights; follow your airline’s own requirements. This is an airport arrival target, not your home pickup time.
Choose the correct terminal
Give us your flight number and the terminal shown for your flight. Heathrow passenger terminals are 2, 3, 4 and 5, with different approaches, so the terminal matters when planning your drop-off. KB Cars is registered with the ICO; our Privacy Notice explains how we handle your booking information.

Which Acton station do you need?
Acton Main Line station on Horn Lane, Acton, W3 9EH, is served by the Elizabeth line. If comparing a train journey with a private-hire transfer, allow for getting to the station and carrying your luggage through any changes and terminal walking.
Acton Central on Churchfield Road, W3 6BH, is a different station served by the Mildmay line; Acton Town on Gunnersbury Lane, W3 8HN, is an Underground station. Check the station and services that suit your journey rather than assuming the three are interchangeable.

GOOD TO KNOW
Acton to Heathrow transfer FAQs
Practical answers for your departure.
Which car should I book for several suitcases?
Choose for passengers and luggage together. An estate offers more luggage space than a saloon; an MPV adds passenger seats, but using those seats can reduce luggage space. Tell us the number and sizes of large cases and cabin bags, as well as any pushchair, folding wheelchair or unusual item, so the office can confirm a suitable arrangement.
Can I request a child seat for the airport journey?
Yes. You can bring your own suitable seat or ask KB to arrange one in advance, subject to availability and suitability. Tell the office the child’s age and relevant height, weight and seat needs; agree the seat and any charge before travel. Include the seat and any pushchair when considering space for your party.
What if I need to cancel my transfer?
Cancellation is free before your driver is dispatched. After dispatch a charge applies, up to the full fare once the driver has arrived at the pickup. Contact the office as soon as your plans change.
Which terminal should I put on the booking?
Use the terminal shown by your airline for your particular flight. Heathrow passenger flights use Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5; your return flight may use a different terminal.
Is pickup from my home or a station?
Pickup is arranged from your booked address, including your Acton home. The stations in the public-transport comparison are alternatives, not the default private-hire pickup point.
Can I arrange help with luggage or airport assistance?
Yes. Tell the office what help you need: guidance to the car and loading ordinary bags or a folding wheelchair can be arranged without charge. An additional escort inside a building is assessed separately and any cost agreed with you. KB does not currently have wheelchair-accessible vehicles; discuss boarding and luggage needs with the office.
For assistance at Heathrow, the airport asks passengers to arrange it through their airline or agent at least 48 hours before flying.
