How comparing London taxis and minicabs works
minicabit is a comparison platform, not a single operator. Enter your pickup, destination and cab pickup date, and the comparison technology instantly searches quotes from 1,000+ licensed Private Hire Operators, including operators near your destination as well as your pickup, which often reveals the best value for your journey. You’ll see fixed quotes side by side and select the one that suits you on price, vehicle type and reviews.
Every quote is a fixed price with no surge pricing, so the fare you see is the fare you pay. You can book on the web or the minicabit app, pay by debit or credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and your chosen Cab operator is only paid once your trip is completed. For the airport leg specifically, see our London airport transfers hub.
London airport transfers
minicabit covers all of London’s airports with fixed-price transfers and a Meet and Greet service. For airport pickups you get 45 minutes of free waiting time and your driver waits inside the terminal at Arrivals. If your flight is delayed, the driver tracks it, arriving around 30 minutes after the new landing time, so you’re collected once you are actually ready.
Compare fixed fares for Heathrow Airport taxis, book a Gatwick Airport taxi, arrange Stansted Airport transfers or a Luton Airport taxi. For east London, London City Airport taxis are also a short hop away.
