Getting from car rental to hotel at Heathrow help.

[Steviesam]

Hi All

Can anyone tell me how I can get from National Car Rental at Heathrow to the Hilton Hotel nearby?

I know the hopper bus takes people from hotels to the airport, but no one seems to know how I can drop the car off and then get to the hotel.

Nationals customer services replied saying "We do not have that information".

Thanks for any help.

Reckon so-I guess I will just have to order one when I get there and wait.

I'd guess that there will be a central return for the hire car companies. Then get yourself to the Bus Station and get the bus. Ring the Hotel - as long as you can get to the bus station I'm sure that they will tell you how to get to them.

IIRC, National is on the Northern Perimiter road. They have a fleet of shuttle buses which will take you to the terminals.

There are 2 Hiltons at LHR. The Heathrow Hilton is at T4, and is just a short walk from the terminal building.

The Hilton Heathrow Terminal 5, very confusingly, isn't at the terminal. It's in the village of Colnbrook, approx 2 miles from T5. The Hopper bus will take you there. I believe the fare is £4.

I suggest phoning the hotel to clarify.

All the hire car companies have shuttles to the terminals.... as do most of the hotels.

Therefore

Drop car at hire car site

return to terminal using hire car shuttle

catch hotel shuttle to hotel

Local buses are free in the Heathrow zone.
