Windsor is right next to Heathrow: planes cross the sky over the Great Park, and in under half an hour you are at the castle the royal family uses at weekends. Zonetransfers sends a chauffeur to Heathrow arrivals (T2 to T5) before the run to Windsor at a fixed fare from €59.
Windsor is about 18 km from Heathrow, normally 25 min door to door. Zonetransfers quotes from €59 for the car and up to four people, agreed before you fly.

Planning excursions with stops? Book a car with driver in London by the hour.
At 25 minutes away, many travellers landing at Heathrow in the morning see Windsor before heading into London. To stop at the castle with your luggage on board, book a car with driver by the hour.
| Area | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Thames Street and Castle Hill | The main street under the castle, partly pedestrianised on busy days. |
| Eton and Datchet | Villages across the Thames with hotels and guesthouses. |
| Great Park and Old Windsor | Country stays beside the royal park. |
Royal Ascot, 15 minutes away: heavy traffic between Windsor and Ascot.
Changing of the Guard at the castle several days a week.
Long-haul flights often land at Heathrow early in the morning, well before hotel check-in. Windsor is the closest sight to the airport, so a short private transfer turns a long wait into an afternoon at the castle.
| Flight | Pick-up before departure |
|---|---|
| Europe | 2 h 30 min |
| Long-haul | 3 h 30 min |
