Benefits of hiring a private taxi to take you to Heathrow airport
Hiring a private taxi to Heathrow Airport has many advantages. Firstly if your flights change our drivers will monitor the flight and adjust your taxi schedule accordingly.
Another advantage of a private taxi is that it’s more accessible. When using a company like ours you can book child seats or adapted vehicles which have more space to contain wheelchairs or anything else you may need to make your journey more enjoyable.
Travelling the underground or using public transport in our opinion is far less accessible and can make travelling difficult if a member of your party as additional needs. This can also be said for parents travelling with small children. Small children don’t like to travel at the best of times so dragging them on and off transport for connecting trains or tubes isn’t ideal.
A private taxi on the other hand only requires to get them into the taxi once and from there you can keep them busy by using toys, books or even putting a film on for them on their iPad. Compare this to dragging them around the busy tube stations which can often be overcrowded and dangerous for smaller children.
Private taxis are also more convenient if you are flying late at night as public transport usually has cut off points. If you are travelling late and the trains, busses or tubes aren’t running then a private taxi will be the choice for you as many services run around the clock.
When I have travelled with small children in the past I have found that using a private taxi service cuts down on the stress and worrying about getting around a city and that it’s more convenient than a regular taxi. Regular taxi’s don’t have children booster seats so travelling without them with your children is not only illegal but it’s also dangerous to that child. If you do have children, travelling with a private taxi firm is the better choice as you can request a child or booster seat before travelling.
When you think of all of the above you can see why people prefer a private taxi compared to public transport, even if the private taxi is more expensive.
If you are considering booking a private taxi I would recommend booking one early as these services can often become busy and sold out closer to your date of travel. Booking earlier may also give you early bird pricing so be sure to book your airport transfers as soon as you can.
Final Thoughts
Travelling from Milton Keynes to Heathrow Airport is very accessible. If you don’t want to pay too much you can travel via the bus or train service. Both are very affordable and aren’t too stressful to use.
