Seventy-eight miles straight along the M4, about an hour and twenty-five minutes. Reading is a business route above all: the Thames Valley office parks, and the station, which is the connection point for half the south of England.
Thames Valley business travel
Green Park, Thames Valley Park, Winnersh Triangle and the Reading International sites are all straightforward runs off the M4, and all considerably easier by car than by train and taxi at the far end. Executive vehicles and account billing available.
Rail connections at Reading
Reading is where the Great Western main line meets everything else, so a common booking is a drive to Reading and a train from there — particularly during engineering work west of Swindon. Give us your train time and we will plan backwards from it.
Onward to Heathrow
Reading sits roughly forty minutes from Heathrow, so we frequently combine the two: a meeting in Reading and a flight the same evening, in one vehicle with the driver waiting between the two.
Fixed price, whatever the M4 does
The M4 between junctions 12 and 11 does not always behave. Your fare is agreed before you travel and does not move with the traffic — the risk of a slow run is ours, not yours.
Included on this route
- A fixed price agreed before you travel — no meter, no surge pricing
- Flight and train monitoring, so the pick-up follows your real arrival
- Meet and greet inside the terminal, and help with the luggage
- Cash, card, PayPal or mobile payment — or a monthly account invoice
- Saloon, executive car, 8-seat minibus or 15-seater
Distances and journey times on this page are approximate and depend on traffic. Your fixed price is confirmed when you book.
