South Kensington to Heathrow airport transfer Pre-booked private hire

Travel from your South Kensington address to your Heathrow terminal. Get a fixed quote for your journey, including the airport’s terminal drop-off charge.

YOUR FARE

A fixed quote for your journey

Your fare is based on your pickup address, date and time, terminal, passengers, luggage and chosen vehicle—not a single price for every SW7 address.

The quote includes Heathrow’s terminal drop-off charge at the airport’s current rate, rather than adding it afterwards.

PLAN THE DEPARTURE

Plan your South Kensington departure

Our office can help you agree a pickup that gets your journey off to a clear start.

Choose your pickup point

Give us your full South Kensington address and any relevant entrance, concierge or meeting-point details. Your car is arranged from the booked address, not automatically from a station. KB Cars is registered with the ICO; our Privacy Notice explains how we handle your booking information.

Plan your airport arrival

Share your flight time and whether it is international, domestic or Europe. Heathrow recommends arriving three hours before an international flight or two hours before a domestic/Europe flight; also check your airline’s guidance. This is your airport-arrival target, not your home pickup time.

Choose the correct terminal

Heathrow passenger terminals are 2, 3, 4 and 5. Give us the terminal shown for your flight. If it changes, contact the office so the change and any revised fare can be agreed.

Starting at a station? A station can be your booked pickup point instead of your home. Name the station when requesting your quote.

COMPARE YOUR OPTIONS

Compare the Piccadilly line

South Kensington and Gloucester Road Underground stations both offer Piccadilly line options for Heathrow. South Kensington station is at Pelham Street, SW7 2NB; Gloucester Road station is at Gloucester Road, SW7 4SF.

Compare how easily you can reach either station with your luggage and check the service for your Heathrow terminal. A pre-booked car instead starts at your agreed pickup address.

GOOD TO KNOW

South Kensington to Heathrow: your questions answered

Make the right arrangements for your party and flight.

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 size of large cases and cabin bags, plus any pushchairs, folding wheelchairs or unusual items, 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. Options include a rear-facing baby seat for birth to 12 months, a child seat for 9 months to 4 years, and a booster for 4 to 12 years.

Give the office the child’s age and relevant height, weight and seat requirements. Include the seat and any pushchair in your luggage needs, and agree the arrangement and applicable charge before travel.

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 individual 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 from the address you book, whether that is your home or a station. The local stations in the public-transport comparison are alternatives, not the default private-hire pickup point.

Can I arrange help with luggage or getting to the car?

Yes. Tell the office what help you need so it can arrange suitable assistance. Guidance to the car and loading ordinary bags or a folding wheelchair can be arranged without charge. If you need an escort inside a building, discuss the task and any cost separately.

For assistance at Heathrow, arrange it through your airline or agent at least 48 hours before flying. KB does not currently have wheelchair-accessible vehicles; discuss a folding chair and your boarding needs with the office.
