Im away for a fortnight in summer and would like your suggestions on the most economical taxis from Heathrow to Surrey on my return (will get dropped off on my way out)

Heathrow taxis are a rip off and was wondering Uber unless anyone has a better suggestion

+2 Depends on where in Surrey.

Alternatively, see how much airport parking costs, a taxi each way from Wokingham to Heathrow is £35, so £60 for parking is braking even with fuel.

The perimeter fence of Heathrow is the boundary of Surrey.

Lingfield is a bit further afield....

Looks roughly £45-60 from this company at least.

I used http://surreycarsguildford.com to get from Gatwick to Dunsfold in Nov. They were good, and reasonably priced. Heathrow still on their routes.
