Why drive London Heathrow Airport
from Feltham
Feltham, with its strategic location just 3.5 miles from London Heathrow Airport, offers a unique advantage for private-hire drivers. The area, covered by postcodes TW13 and TW14, is densely populated, ensuring a steady stream of local customers needing airport transfers. Feltham's proximity to LHR means less time spent driving without passengers, maximizing your earning potential.
Peak shifts at LHR align well with Feltham's local schedule. Early morning and late-night flights are frequent, and Feltham drivers can capitalize on these times to secure more rides. The short drive to the airport ensures that you can quickly return to the area for another fare, maintaining a high turnover of trips.
The density of postcodes in Feltham benefits local drivers, as dispatch systems often prioritize nearby vehicles for bookings. This means quicker allocations and less idle time compared to drivers from further afield. Additionally, the M25 and major routes such as the A30 and A312 provide easy access to the airport, making it simple to navigate peak traffic times.
For those operating from Feltham, being just outside the congestion zone of London is an added advantage. This location allows drivers to avoid heavy traffic while still being close enough to the airport to benefit from high-demand periods.

High-Earning Specialist Vehicles
Two specialist driver types are constantly under-supplied in Feltham. If your vehicle qualifies, you get priority allocation, premium fares and weekly earnings 15–30% above standard PCO.
Drivers with Baby & Child Seats
Family · Cruise · US Tourist Bookings
FREE child seats are our biggest customer-facing promise — but only drivers actually carrying them get matched to those jobs. Drivers with i-Size infant + toddler + booster seats fitted are first in line for every family, cruise-passenger and US-tourist booking.
Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) Drivers
NHS · Council · Private WAV Bookings
WAV driver supply is the smallest in London — demand from disabled travellers, elderly customers, NHS-funded transfers and council contracts vastly outstrips it. If your vehicle has a powered ramp and securing tracks, you get guaranteed weekly volume with virtually no competition.
