I know a couple of taxi drivers who should do good rates.
roger edwards - not sure if he has a website but will get his number for you.

Check you don't get Travel insurance with your bank account mate.

You get insurance discount via Insure and Go if your a season ticket holder.

If not the post office.

Its cheaper by train and quicker. I got a taxi from Heathrow to Fenchurch Street and that was £30 and that was about 5 years ago.

The Gatwick Flyer goes - well, there must be a Heathrow equivalent.

Heathrow express, I've used it for US trips, mostly onto Term 4.

If you are going to use the Heathrow Express then I would strongly suggest you book in advance as it much cheaper than buying on the day.

It is cheaper by train, but if you've got heavy luggage and have to be on trains and their connections when busy, it's an absolute nightmare.

Rule of thumb is----Light Hand luggage=Train.
Heavy Luggage=Car.

travel insurance - Columbus direct, nearly half the price of Insure and Go.

If you are a season ticket holder then you will get a 25% discount booking with Insure and Go. This is fact because i took one out with them today. Total price for insurance to USA was £25-£30 cheaper for 2 people than the best one i was able to find.
