Traveling with my 92-year-old mother who is quite mobile, but does anyone know about hire cars/taxis to go from Heathrow to Taunton? I know it will be pricey, but wanted to get a ball park figure to work off of?

Hi Colin.
As JT said, try and use a company based in Taunton.
Try using an airport transfer company, they can work out cheaper than a cab.
Did a quick search, looks like £185 each way.
Please be aware, their are company’s that will quote stupid cheap prices, some of these are a con. They are normally a company based away from your destination saying they cover the whole of the UK.
Better to stick with a local company based at your destination.
I would also recommend just paying the one way first ( they will want this paid upfront)
Then if your happy with the service book the return journey
Also ask them if they will meet you in arrivals, it can be a bit of a trek to find your vehicle, especially if you are trying to help mum and move all your luggage
Hope you enjoy your stay
Chris
