The journey

The 95-mile run to Bournemouth

  1. Arrivals

    Your driver waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal holding a name board, after tracking your flight in. If the flight moves, the pickup moves with it — you are not paying for a car that left without you.

  2. The road

    The route runs A3 and M27, or M3 and A31 — 95 miles in total, around 1 hr 50 min to 2 hr 15 min depending on traffic and time of day. One driver, one car, no changes and no connections to miss.

  3. On the way

    No stop needed on a run of this length. At 95 miles this is a single-leg run for most passengers, though we will stop whenever you ask.

  4. Arrival

    We drop wherever you need in and around Bournemouth — Bournemouth seafront, Poole Harbour, Bournemouth Airport and Sandbanks are all regular destinations. Door to door, with luggage carried to the entrance.

Meeting you

Arrivals, tracked

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal holding a name board, after tracking your flight in. We track your flight from take-off, so if you land early or late the pickup time moves with it. Terminals 4 and 5 sit outside the Central Terminal Area, so the approach road you need is decided before you reach the airport perimeter — going to the wrong one costs 15 minutes.

Every booking

What your fare covers

  • A fixed price agreed before you travel, which does not change if the roads are slow.
  • A licensed, CRB-checked chauffeur who is trained, insured and smartly presented.
  • Help with luggage at both ends, not just an unlocked boot.
  • Flight tracking, so your pickup time follows your actual landing time.
  • Comfort stops on the way where you want them — no stop needed on a run of this length.
  • The option of a return leg booked at the same time, quoted together.

Good to know

Heathrow Airport to Bournemouth: your questions

How long does it take to get from Heathrow Airport to Bournemouth by taxi?

1 hr 50 min to 2 hr 15 min, covering 95 miles. The lower figure is a clear run; the higher one allows for peak-time traffic.

How much is a taxi from Heathrow Airport to Bournemouth?

We quote a fixed price before you book, based on the vehicle class and the time of travel, and it does not change if the traffic is bad. Call 01483 310310 or send the journey details through the booking form for a firm figure.

Where exactly do you drop off at Bournemouth?

Directly at your destination address in Bournemouth. The shortest of these runs and the most luggage-heavy — beach kit, golf clubs and family cases that make the train the harder option.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track it. Your driver's pickup time moves with the flight, so a delay does not mean a missed car or a second fare. For departures, tell us your flight and we work the pickup back from it.

Can I book a return journey from Bournemouth?

Yes — returns are booked at the same time as the outbound and quoted together. Most Heathrow Airport customers book both legs at once, and the same driver often covers them.
