Hopon Cars runs Hayes taxi services for residents, visitors and businesses in UB3, UB4 and the surrounding parts of West London. That covers local runs, pre-booked journeys and Heathrow transfers, around the clock.
Hayes sits a short drive from Heathrow, which is great for travel and less great when you need a car at 4am. Black cabs are rare on local roads. App fares can surge when demand peaks, and a no-show before an early flight is the last thing anyone needs.
That is why most of our customers book ahead. You get a fixed price before you travel, a licensed driver who knows the area, and a car that turns up when it should. Your driver's details arrive by text, so you know exactly who is collecting you.
We cover the whole of Hayes, from Hayes Town and Botwell to Yeading, Harlington and Hayes End. We also run regular trips to Southall, Uxbridge, West Drayton, Hounslow and Central London.
For flights, our Heathrow airport transfers include flight monitoring and meet and greet. Travelling as a family or a group? We have 7-seater and 8-seater vehicles with room for the luggage too.

Your quote is the fare you pay. Traffic on the A312 or a slow queue at the airport won't add to it. Before you confirm, we tell you whether airport parking or drop-off charges are included.
Every driver holds a Transport for London private hire licence and has passed an enhanced DBS check. Most have driven these roads for years, so they know the quickest way to Heathrow when the M4 backs up.
Early flights, late shifts and midnight arrivals are a normal part of the job here. We take bookings for any hour, every day of the year, including bank holidays.
For Heathrow pickups, we track your flight and adjust the collection time if you land early or late. Your driver waits in arrivals with a name board.
From standard saloons to executive cars for business travel, every car is cleaned and checked before each shift.
We collect from your front door and drop you at your terminal, platform or meeting. You won't need to drag suitcases to a bus stop.
Booking. Enter your pickup address, drop-off point, date and time online, and you'll get an instant quote. You can also call or email us. For flights, add your flight number so we can track it.
Confirmation and communication. Once you book, you'll receive a journey confirmation by email. Before pickup, we text you the driver's name, car and registration. If plans change, call us and we'll amend the booking.
Arrival. For home collections, your driver arrives a few minutes early and lets you know they're outside. At Heathrow, they meet you in the arrivals hall with a name board, and free waiting time is built in for passport control and baggage reclaim.
The journey. Your driver takes the most sensible route for the time of day. Need a stop on the way, or a child seat? Mention it when you book.
Safety and comfort. Cars are insured for hire and reward, maintained to TfL standards and kept clean inside. Bookings are tracked from pickup to drop-off.
Payment. Pay by card online, by card in the car, or in cash. Business customers can open an account and receive monthly invoices.
Customer support. Our team is available 24 hours a day on +44 20 3504 1438 for changes, questions or anything that comes up on the day.
This is our busiest route. Heathrow is around five miles from central Hayes, and a taxi usually takes 15 to 25 minutes, depending on your terminal and the traffic. We serve Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 in both directions, including hotel transfers along Bath Road.
We run pre-booked airport transfers from Hayes to Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and London City. Each comes with the same fixed-price quote.
We offer pickups and drop-offs at Hayes & Harlington Station on the Elizabeth line, plus West Drayton, Southall and Uxbridge. Our station transfers also cover London Paddington, Euston and King's Cross.
We cover all of UB3 and UB4, including Hayes Town, Botwell, Yeading, Harlington, Pinkwell, Hayes End and Coldharbour Lane. Beyond Hayes, we run regularly to Southall, Uxbridge, West Drayton, Yiewsley, Hounslow, Northolt, Greenford, Ruislip and Ealing.
We also take bookings to Central London, Wembley, Windsor, Reading, Slough and Oxford. Our city to city taxi service runs as far as Birmingham, Manchester and beyond.
If you're not sure which car to book, tell us how many people and bags are travelling and we'll recommend one.
Child and baby seats are available on request at the time of booking.
Hopon Cars is a licensed private hire operator. In London, that means TfL licenses three things: the operator, every driver and every vehicle. Each of those licences can be checked.
Private hire vehicles in London must display a TfL licence disc, and drivers carry photo ID. You're welcome to ask to see both.
Prefer to talk it through? Call +44 20 3504 1438 and we'll book it for you.
Much of the work behind our taxi services in Hayes comes from repeat bookings: the same family every summer, the same consultant every Monday at 6am. That doesn't happen by accident.
Our drivers live and work locally, so they know which roads clog at school-run time and which Heathrow drop-off zone suits each airline. Prices are agreed upfront and stay that way. We answer the phone ourselves, day or night. And if something goes wrong, such as a delayed flight or a changed meeting, we sort it out with you rather than leaving you to rebook.
That consistency is why many Hayes residents keep our number saved, and why local businesses trust us with their visitors. Read our customer reviews on Google, or try us for your next airport run.
Taxi fares in Hayes depend on distance, vehicle size and time of travel. Short local trips within UB3 and UB4 are the cheapest. Airport transfers and longer journeys are priced as fixed fares, so the amount you're quoted is the amount you pay. The quickest way to see your exact price is to enter your pickup and drop-off points on our booking page, which gives an instant quote. You can also call us on +442035041438 for a price on any journey, including returns.
A taxi from Hayes to Heathrow Airport usually takes between 15 and 25 minutes. Terminals 2 and 3 are generally the quickest to reach. Terminal 5 can take a little longer, depending on where in Hayes you start. Weekday rush hours and roadworks on the M4 or A312 can add time, so we build that in when planning your pickup. For a morning flight, most customers leave home about three hours before departure, which gives comfortable time for bag drop and security.
Yes. You can pre-book a Hayes taxi online, by phone or by email, from a few hours to several months ahead. Pre-booking is the most reliable option for early flights, hospital appointments and business meetings, because your driver is assigned in advance and your fare is fixed. For airport transfers in peak holiday periods, such as school holidays and Christmas, we recommend booking at least a few days ahead. That way, larger vehicles like 7-seaters and 8-seaters are still available.
Yes. Hopon Cars runs a 24-hour taxi service in Hayes, seven days a week, including bank holidays and Christmas Day. Many of our journeys happen outside normal hours, such as 4am Heathrow departures, late-night arrivals and shift workers heading home. Night-time trips are best booked in advance so a driver is reserved for you. Our phone line on +44 20 3504 1438 is also staffed around the clock, so you can make changes or ask a question whenever you need to.
Yes, and booking ahead is easier than queueing at the rank. Give us your flight number when you book and we'll monitor it, adjusting the pickup time if your flight lands early or late. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, helps with your luggage and takes you straight to your home or hotel in Hayes. Free waiting time is included to cover passport control and baggage reclaim, so you won't be charged for an ordinary delay.
Yes. We have 7-seater MPVs and 8-seater minibuses available across Hayes and West London. A 7-seater comfortably fits six passengers with four large suitcases, or seven people with lighter luggage. An 8-seater takes up to eight passengers and eight large cases. These are popular for family airport transfers, group nights out and sports teams. Because there are fewer large vehicles than saloons, it's worth pre-booking, especially during school holidays. Child and booster seats can be fitted in any vehicle on request.
Yes. Meet and greet is included with our Heathrow pickups and is available at Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and London City too. Your driver tracks your flight, waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name, and helps carry your bags to the car. This is especially useful for international visitors, families with young children and business guests arriving in the UK for the first time. If you can't find your driver, call our 24-hour line and we'll connect you straight away.
Start by checking that the company is a TfL-licensed private hire operator. You can search the operator's name on the Transport for London website. Then look for fixed pricing, clear contact details and recent customer reviews. A reliable firm will confirm your booking in writing and send driver details before pickup. It should also track flights for airport collections. Avoid any car that offers a ride without a booking, as unbooked pickups by minicabs are illegal in London and leave you uninsured.
Need a lift to Heathrow at dawn, a ride home from Hayes & Harlington Station, or a 7-seater for the family holiday? Our Hayes taxi services cover it, with a fixed price agreed before you travel.
