Transportation to London from Midlands

[Hokie97 5]

I am looking for recommendations of companies to use to drive us from Leicester to Heathrow.

We do not drive, and there are 4 of us, so I'd rather not take the bus or train as we'll have to deal with luggage and transfers and it just seems like a nightmare. I got a slip through the door the other week advertising long distance transport by van to the airport for "from £60". It sounds like it could be a good deal, but since they solicited us and there are numerous spelling mistakes on the ad, I am a hesitant to book with them. I am currently calling around to some local taxi companies, but I thought I would see if anyone else has gone this route. Thanks.

Most taxi firms will do a deal but £60 from mids - Heathrow seems pretty good. It's worth ringing around.

Thanks. I guess I just assumed regular taxis would be outrageous. I've contacted a few. A regular car to there is about £90, but because there are 4 of us and 6 suitcases plus carry ons we need a van and that's about £130. Still better than the train and dealing with getting from St. Pancras to Heathrow.
