Our Executive Cars
Reading Taxis’ executive cars include models such as the Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Lexus ES. They are booked in advance, so we confirm the car for your journey before the day rather than sending whichever vehicle is free. That makes them the right choice for client meetings, airport runs and station pick-ups where the journey is part of the impression you make.
When you book, tell us how many passengers and how much luggage are travelling. An executive car suits a small party with cases. For a bigger group or a lot of bags, we will recommend an MPV or a 6, 7 or 8-seater minibus instead (an 8-seater takes 5–7 bags). Child seats are available at £10 each way.
How Booking an Executive Taxi Works
- Call or book online. Give us your pickup address, destination, date and time, number of passengers and luggage.
- Get your quote and vehicle. We confirm the fare and the right executive car for your trip.
- Travel door to door. Your driver collects you from the agreed pickup point. On airport pickups we use flight tracking so we follow your arrival time.

Executive Airport Transfers: What to Expect
Executive airport transfers from Reading follow the same routes as our other airport journeys: Heathrow straight along the M4, and Gatwick, Luton and Stansted via the M25. What changes is how the journey is planned around you:
- Flight tracking on airport pickups, so your driver follows your actual arrival time
- Free meet-and-greet on arrivals, so you are met rather than left to find a car
- 24/7 booking, including early-morning departures and late-night arrivals
- A confirmed car before the day, matched to your passengers and luggage
Airport drop-off and pick-up charges are set by the airports and are paid by the customer on top of the fare. See our airport taxi Reading page for the current charges at each airport, or call 0118 430 0018 and we will tell you how they appear on your quote.
Choose the Right Vehicle
- Executive cars for business travel and airport runs.
- Standard and economy cars for one to four passengers
- MPVs for extra passengers and luggage
- 6, 7 and 8-seater minibuses for groups. Our 8-seater fits 5 to 7 bags. See Minibus Taxi Reading.
Reading Station, Business and Local Pickups
We collect from your home, hotel, office or Reading station. We also serve nearby areas including Tilehurst, Winnersh, Pangbourne and Tadley.
Before you book any operator, check its licence. Reading Borough Council publishes its hackney carriage and private hire licensing policy online.
Executive Taxi for Business Travel Around Reading
Reading is a business town, and many executive bookings are short, time-critical trips within it. Typical pick-ups and drop-offs include Reading Station, where you may be collecting a visitor, and business parks such as Green Park, Thames Valley Park, Winnersh Triangle and Arlington Business Park in Theale. We also serve the villages around Reading, so a pre-booked car can collect you from home and have you at the station or the office on time.
For a station pick-up, give us the train time and the passenger’s name. For a meeting, give us the time you need to arrive rather than the time you want to leave. Because executive journeys are best pre-booked, call 0118 430 0018 for anything at short notice and we will confirm vehicle availability straight away.
Executive Taxi for Special Occasions and Evenings Out
An executive car is not only for work. A pre-booked car is a comfortable, stress-free way to travel to an anniversary dinner, a night at the theatre or a family celebration, with no parking to find and no waiting for a cab at the end of the evening. Tell us where you want to be collected, the time you need to arrive and the time you would like the return pick-up, and we plan both journeys around your evening.
For celebrations with a larger group, ask about an MPV or a 6, 7 or 8-seater minibus, or see our events and nightlife taxi page for evenings out around Reading.
Executive Taxi Reading FAQs
What does "executive taxi" mean?
An executive taxi is a pre-booked, higher-specification car and driver for business and special-occasion travel. At Reading Taxis, that means our executive cars rather than a standard saloon, booked in advance for airport runs, meetings or station pick-ups. It suits you if you want a planned pickup and a smarter car instead of whichever cab is free.
What is the difference between a standard and an executive taxi?
The main differences are the vehicle and the booking. Reading Taxis runs standard and economy cars for everyday trips and executive cars for journeys where presentation matters. Executive journeys are best pre-booked so we can match the car to your plans, while standard cars suit short local hops. Call 0118 430 0018 to compare options for your journey.
How much is a taxi from Reading to Heathrow?
A taxi from Reading to Heathrow with Reading Taxis starts from £65. The final fare depends on your pickup point, terminal, vehicle and number of passengers, so we confirm it when you book. Call 0118 430 0018 or use the Book Now page for a quote before you travel. We use flight tracking on airport pickups.
Is it better to book an executive taxi in advance?
Yes, booking ahead is the best way to secure an executive car with Reading Taxis, especially for early flights or meetings with fixed start times. Give us your pickup address, time, passenger count and luggage when you book, and we confirm the vehicle before the day. We are available 24/7, so you can book at any hour.
Is Reading Taxis available 24/7, including bank holidays?
Yes. Reading Taxis is available 24/7 with no days off, bank holidays included, so you can arrange an executive car for early-morning flights, late arrivals or out-of-hours business trips. For very short notice, call 0118 430 0018 rather than booking online, so we can confirm vehicle availability straight away. You can also book online through the Book Now page at any hour.
Which executive cars do you use?
Reading Taxis’ executive cars include models such as the Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Lexus ES. They are booked in advance, and we confirm the car for your journey before the day, so tell us your passenger and luggage numbers when you book.
Is meet-and-greet included with an executive airport transfer?
Meet-and-greet on airport arrivals is free with Reading Taxis. Give us your flight number and terminal when you book, and we track the flight so your driver is ready when you land, even if it is delayed.
Who pays airport drop-off and pick-up charges?
Airport drop-off and pick-up charges are set by the airports, not by Reading Taxis, and they are paid by the customer on top of the fare. Heathrow, for example, charges £7 per terminal drop-off visit and Gatwick £10 for up to 10 minutes. We can tell you when you book how each charge will appear on your quote.
Can I book an executive car for a Reading Station pick-up?
Yes. Give us your visitor’s train time, the passenger’s name and the destination, and Reading Taxis will confirm the car in advance. Executive station pick-ups are best pre-booked, and you can book at any hour because we operate 24/7.
Can I add a child seat to an executive booking?
Yes. Child seats are £10 each way, so tell us the age of each child when you book. If you are travelling with several children and a lot of luggage, we may recommend an MPV instead, so give us the full passenger and bag count.
