Ealing connects to every London airport, cruise port and station through us, with the vehicle sized to suit you and flight tracking built into every airport pickup.
Booking takes about two minutes and your fare is fixed from the start. Here is how a journey works, step by step.
Enter your pickup and drop-off for your Ealing journey on our booking page, or call us. You get an instant, fixed price — no meters and no surge pricing.
Choose a saloon, estate, MPV or 8-seater, add child seats or meet and greet, and confirm in under a minute. We send your driver's name, number and car before pickup.
On airport journeys we track your flight by number and adjust the pickup to your real landing time. Your driver can wait in arrivals with a name board and help with your luggage.
Your driver takes you directly to your destination and you pay online, by card in the car, or on account — always at the fixed fare you were quoted.
One fixed fare, quoted before you book, covers the whole journey. Here is what comes as standard.
Driver details sent before pickup.

Round-the-clock booking and travel.
Ealing, "the Queen of the Suburbs", is a green, family-friendly part of west London with good rail links including the Elizabeth line. Heathrow is a short run down the A4 or M4, making early-morning airport transfers easy. We collect from any Ealing address at a fixed fare, 24/7.
By road distance, Heathrow is usually the shortest run from Ealing, though the fastest journey on the day depends on traffic and which motorway corridor you take — a numerically closer airport can still be the slower option if it means crossing London rather than joining a direct route. Here is roughly how each of the six compares, in normal traffic:
Of all the areas we cover, Ealing ranks 12th closest to Heathrow out of 64 by road distance — a genuine relative marker, not just a raw mileage figure.
Heathrow — about 10 miles (25–35 min by road); Ealing lies to the east-north-east of it.
London City — about 20 miles (30–50 min by road); Ealing lies to the west of it.
Gatwick — about 30 miles (40–60 min by road); Ealing lies to the north-north-west of it.
Luton — about 30 miles (40–60 min by road); Ealing lies to the south of it.
Stansted — about 45 miles (55–85 min by road); Ealing lies to the south-west of it.
Southend — about 55 miles (65–105 min by road); Ealing lies to the west of it.
A minicab is different from a black cab in one important legal respect: it cannot be hailed on the street. Every journey has to be booked in advance — by phone, app or website — and both the vehicle and the driver must hold a separate private hire licence. That is exactly how booking with Airport Move works: you agree the price and the pickup time first, and a licensed driver arrives exactly as arranged, never flagged down on a passing road. In Ealing specifically, Heathrow is the closest of the six by road — roughly 10 miles away, with Ealing lying to the east-north-east of it — which is often why local minicab bookings here lean that way, though a fixed-fare car from Ealing reaches every London airport just as reliably.
Ealing sees its heaviest traffic on weekday mornings and early evenings, when the main approach roads are shared between commuters and airport travellers. If your journey falls in one of those windows, building in some extra time is sensible; outside them, and at weekends, the roads are typically quieter. Either way, the route is planned around the traffic on the day, not around a fixed schedule that ignores it.
We agree the exact pickup point with you before the day, so there is nothing to work out when you travel, and any airport leg has the flight tracked so timing follows your real schedule rather than the printed one. Build in the normal airport steps around the drive — check-in and security outbound, passport control and baggage on arrival — both covered by the waiting time already included in your fare.
Telling us your group size and luggage at booking, rather than leaving it to the day, means the right vehicle is waiting: a saloon for up to four people and two large cases, or an estate, MPV or 8-seater for more bags, buggies or equipment. Journeys like this get busier in school holidays and summer, so booking ahead is the simplest way to secure the size of car you need.
Most Ealing bookings with us start as an airport transfer, but the same fixed-fare minicab and driver cover plenty more of your travel:
A regular commute or the school run, billed to a business or family account.
A wedding, night out or event transfer, planned to your schedule.
A car kept at your disposal with hourly hire.
A connection on to a cruise port or hotel.
Something sent rather than someone carried, with courier delivery.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
The cost of your Ealing minicab is set upfront from your exact address, with no meter running. Ask online or by phone for an instant, fixed price.
