Pickups across Canterbury
Canterbury airport transfers are pre-booked journeys — we're not a local cab rank in the city, but fixed-fare airport runs from Canterbury are part of our daily long-distance work. Your driver collects from any Canterbury address at the booked time — the city centre, Canterbury West or East station, or the university campuses — and heads straight out onto the A2 with the route planned in advance.
Terminals 2, 3, 4 & 5
LHR — what to expect
Heathrow Airport (LHR) has four passenger terminals — 2, 3, 4 and 5 — and they are several minutes apart by road. There is no price difference between terminals. Your booking confirmation records your airline, and your driver confirms the correct terminal before you set off. Dropping off, Heathrow charges £7 each time a vehicle enters a terminal forecourt, with a ten-minute limit, and we add that to outbound fares at cost. Coming home there is no drop-off charge — your driver meets you inside arrivals with a name board, waits up to 60 minutes free from the actual landing time, and airport parking is charged separately at whatever it comes to on the day.

Book your returnCanterbury to Heathrow is a long run — around 91 miles, most of it on the M2, M26 and the full western sweep of the M25. It is the sort of journey where the pickup time is set by the M25 rather than by the distance: leave before about 5am and it is straightforward, leave at 6am and the last twenty miles can add a great deal. For early Heathrow departures we normally collect from Canterbury well before dawn, and we would rather build the margin in than cut it fine.

Canterbury to Heathrow taxi FAQs.
How much is a taxi from Canterbury to Heathrow Airport?
A standard vehicle is £135, plus the £7 Heathrow drop-off charge on outbound journeys, or £130 plus the drop-off charge on your first journey booked in the app. Premium cars and MPVs have their own fixed fares — see the fare panel above. On return journeys, airport parking is paid on the day instead of the drop-off charge.
What vehicle should I book for passengers and luggage?
A standard vehicle seats up to 4, but four passengers with large cases for a long-haul flight will be tight — take an MPV instead. The 8-seater MPV and the Premium MPV (Mercedes V-Class) both carry up to 8 passengers, and the V-Class has the most luggage room. The Mercedes E-Class seats up to 4 in a premium car. If you are unsure, call 01622 750000 before you book and we will tell you what fits.
How long does Canterbury to Heathrow take?
The route covers approximately 91 miles, following the M2 onto the M26 and M25, then west around the M25 to Heathrow, and normally takes 110–130 minutes. Allow longer during peak congestion — your driver monitors live traffic and picks the fastest route on the day.
Is the fare fixed?
Your fare is confirmed when you book, with no meter and no surge pricing. Different rates may apply on bank holidays, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. The Heathrow drop-off charge is added on outbound journeys; return journeys add airport parking, paid on the day.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Your driver monitors your flight in real time and adjusts to the new landing time at no extra charge. You also have 60 minutes’ free waiting from when the flight lands.
Where will I meet my driver at Heathrow Airport?
Your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall, holding a Streamline name board, and walks you to the car. Heathrow’s terminals are several miles apart, so we confirm yours from your flight rather than guessing, at no price difference. You have 60 minutes’ free waiting from when the flight actually lands.
How do I book a Heathrow-to-Canterbury return journey?
Book your return in the Streamline app or call 01622 750000. You can book the outward and return journeys together or separately. Return airport parking is paid on the day.
Is Streamline based in Canterbury?
No. We are a Maidstone company and Canterbury airport transfers are pre-booked journeys rather than local cab work — but Canterbury to Heathrow and Gatwick is regular, everyday work for our drivers, at a fare fixed before you travel.
