• Oyster / contactless pay-as-you-go: Accepted on all TfL buses and South Western Railway services from Feltham. Touch in at the station gate or on the bus, and touch out at your destination.
• Bus fares: £1.75 per journey (Hopper fare — unlimited buses and trams within 1 hour of first touch). Daily bus cap: £5.25.
• Train fares (off-peak, Zone 6 to Zone 1): About £4.70–£5.10 single with Oyster/contactless. Peak times (06:30–09:30 and 16:00–19:00 Monday–Friday) are more expensive.
• Daily cap: If you use buses and trains in one day, the most you will pay is the Zone 1–6 daily cap (around £14.90 off-peak, more at peak).
• Weekly cap: Contactless capping works over Monday–Sunday. If you commute daily, you will never pay more than a 7-Day Travelcard equivalent.
• Paper tickets: Still available from the ticket office or machines, but usually more expensive than Oyster/contactless.

• Black cabs (hackney carriages): Can be hailed on the street or picked up at ranks. The nearest rank is usually at Feltham Station or The Centre. Metered fares — more expensive than minicabs but regulated and can use bus lanes.
• Minicabs / private hire: Must be pre-booked by phone or app. Feltham has several local firms. Always check the driver and vehicle match your booking — never get into an unbooked car.
• Uber / Bolt: Both operate in Feltham. Prices vary by demand. Typically £8–£15 to Hounslow, £12–£25 to Heathrow, £35–£55 to central London.
• Wheelchair accessible taxis: Some local firms have wheelchair-accessible vehicles — call ahead to book. TfL's licensed taxi and private hire checker can verify if a vehicle is licensed.

• Feltham Station car park: Operated by South Western Railway. Pay by app, card, or cash. Often full by 08:30 on weekdays. Season tickets available. South Western Railway lists 20 car-parking spaces, including accessible bays.
• Cycle parking: South Western Railway lists 105 cycle spaces at Feltham station. Cycling can be a practical last-mile option if you live close enough to the station.
• The Centre, Feltham: Paid parking at the shopping centre. First hour often free with store validation — check individual retailers.
• High Street / residential streets: Controlled parking zones (CPZs) operate on many roads near the station and High Street. Check signs carefully — some are residents-only, others have time limits or metered bays.
• Disabled parking: Blue Badge holders can park in designated bays and on single yellow lines for up to 3 hours (check local restrictions). Hounslow Council manages Blue Badge applications.

• Railcard: A 16–25 Railcard or 26–30 Railcard saves 1/3 on off-peak rail fares. At £35/year, it pays for itself in about 3 return trips to London. Buy via the Trainline app or at the station.
• Season Ticket / Flexi Season: If you travel to London 3+ days a week, a weekly, monthly, or annual season ticket works out cheaper than daily pay-as-you-go. South Western Railway's Flexi Season gives you 8 days of travel in 28 — good for hybrid workers.
• Bus & Tram Discount: If you have a 16–25 Zip Oyster, 60+ Oyster, or Disabled Person's Freedom Pass, bus travel is free. See our Money-Saving Tips page for full details.
• Jobcentre Plus Travel Discount: If you're unemployed and looking for work, Jobcentre Plus may refund travel costs for interviews — ask your work coach.
• Hospital travel costs: If you receive certain benefits and have a hospital appointment, you may be able to claim back travel costs via the NHS Low Income Scheme or HC2 certificate.
• Liftshare / car share: If you drive to Heathrow or a nearby business park, consider a car share scheme. Some employers have formal programmes; informal arrangements with neighbours work too.

• Feltham Station: Step-free access to both platforms via lifts (installed 2023). Accessible toilets available. Tactile paving on platforms. If you need assistance boarding a train, contact South Western Railway's Passenger Assist service at least 2 hours ahead — free, and staff will meet you with a ramp if needed.
• Buses: All TfL buses are low-floor and wheelchair accessible. Drivers are required to kneel the bus and deploy the ramp on request. Priority seating for disabled passengers and pregnant women.
• Taxis: Black cabs are all wheelchair accessible. For private hire, ask specifically for a wheelchair-accessible vehicle when booking — not all firms have them.
• Assistance dogs: Welcome on all trains, buses, and in taxis free of charge.
• Priority Services Register: If you rely on transport for medical appointments, make sure your energy and water suppliers have you on their Priority Services Register — they can help arrange alternative transport or taxis during emergencies. See our Money-Saving Tips page for how to sign up.
