They are all quite expensive but I use DJ Taxis from Hertford (01992 30 20 30), but Foxholes Taxis (01992 500 750) also offer a service but its done on mileage, so brace yourself its not cheap down to Heathrow with any taxi/limo firm... Hope these numbers help

Left field response but I often travel to Heathrow for business trip (and my Company pays the travel bill so the cost is of no real consequence to me) but I sometimes get a taxi/lift to cockfosters and catch the tube.
Because Cockfosters and Heathrow are both in zone 6, it costs me less than £2 on oyster. As you get on at cockfosters you always get a seat and just sit there for an hour and a quarter. Not altogether unpleasant and not stressed by traffic jams.
I don't always do this but sometimes do. I don't even claim the tube fare back on expenses.

Louis I'm loving the website ... some great stock photos of luxury saloons but funny how I've never seen any of those driving around Hertford!
But you are right they are reasonably cheap - the last time I came back from Heathrow by cab I used Qcabs (07870657139)and it cost about £70 in the MPV but he does check the flight arrivals and won't charge waiting time.

I cannot remember who told me, but I do distinctly remember, laughing with someone, who used Hertsline and the driver did not know how to get to Stanstead Airport. Therefore wonder if they could make it to Heathrow! They may have Sat Nav now!! I have heard Brians Taxis are good, just googled and the number is 01992 559000, my Sister has used them for airport runs before. Good Luck

Being a senior citizen I catch the 724 from Ware Road to Heathrow for nothing. Only problem is the long journey time without a toilet on board!

Thanks for all the recommendations everyone, there are a few reviews on Yelp of Hertsline taxis - all bad except for one that's suspiciously gushing (someone from the USA apparently).
