Should I schedule a taxi for the trip from the airport to the hotel when I arrive in London before I travel?

And how?





Or should I just catch one once I get to the airport? And how?

You should rent a car before actually reaching there to avoid over charged in hurry.





You can rent a car by visiting following website - https://www.discountcityhotels.net/Renta鈥?/a>Should I schedule a taxi for the trip from the airport to the hotel when I arrive in London before I travel?
Check with the hotel to see if they have a shuttle service first. If not, ask them to make the arrangements. They most likely have a taxi service they deal with and can probably get a better deal, at the very least, saving you long distance charges. Make sure to get written confirmations. I have never seen a crazier airport in my life. Make arrangements before you leave or you could end up waiting a very long time for a taxi.
taxis from the ranks at airports and train stations are notoriously more expensive than advanced booking cabs. i dunno, why don't you google.co.uk search for taxi firms around the airport you're flying into? mind you, if it isn't far to your hotel, so we're not talking big bucks here, can you really be bothered?
Take the underground from Heathrow or mainline train from Gatwick into London from the airport.


Enjoy your trip
ask around - if there is a light rail or bus, you will save money big time. they can get you close to the area and you could catch a cab to get you the rest of the way there.
No - it's unbelievably expensive and pointless. Take the subway into London, and then take a taxi.
Don't get a Taxi, you will pay the earth, get the underground into London and take a cab from there.
no, there really is no need to book a taxi. you will find transportation right before your eyes upon arrival. Travel safe!
there are always plenty of taxis at the airport just get in one and tell them where you want to go no problem
The journey to central London will cost between 拢40 and 拢70 and takes between 30 minutes and one hour. Journeys which are both inside London and within 20 miles of the airport are priced using the taxi meter. The fare for travel outside London should be agreed beforehand with the driver.





I won't suggest getting a cab unless highly necessary because the public transport in London is very user-friendly even for a first-timer, and can save you some 拢.





It depends on which airport you are arriving at: Heathrow, Gatwick, or Stansted, or even Luton (if you are flying in from Europe).





If you are landing at Heathrow, within Terminal 1, 2, and 3, you can get the Underground train on Piccadilly Line all the way to Piccadilly Station in central London and you can get a cab from there to your hotel, or even catch another connecting train to the closest station. Get yourself a 1-day travel rail card for Zone 1-6 which will cost you 拢13.80 (peak) or 拢7.00 (off peak) and you can make all the underground and National Rail connection within London. Alternatively, you can get the Heathrow Express Heathrow to London Paddington. The trains run every 15 minutes and journey time is 15 minutes from Terminals 1, 2 and 3. Fares start at 拢14.50 for a single or 拢28 for a return. You can also get the National Express coach to Victoria Coach Station.





If you are landing at Terminal 4, you can get the free Heathrow Connect rail shuttle that runs every 15 minutes between Heathrow Central and Terminal 4, a three-minute journey. Heathrow Central is between Terminals 1, 2 and 3. You can then get to the Underground Station by following the signs.





If it is Terminal 5 you are landing at, take the free Heathrow Express trains to get to Heathrow Central. It runs every 15 minutes and the journey takes about three minutes. You can then get to the Underground Station by following the signs.





But if it is Gatwick you are arriving at, you'll be able to get the Gatwick Express from the South Terminal to London Victoria Station for standard single fare of 拢16.90. Alternatively, you can also get the National Express coach to Victoria Coach Station.





If it is Stansted Airport, then you can take the Stansted Express to central London (London Liverpool Street), whilst the National Express Coach will take you to London Stratford and Lea Valley stations, and Easybus EB2 service to London Victoria and Baker Street (central London)
