Shuttle van from Heathrow to London center

Soon eight of us will arrive together at Heathrow airport and need to get to
our hotel in the center of London. I found AirportTransfers.biz on the
Internet. They do transfers by car and minivan service. For five or more
people the charge is 15 GBP per person, with no hidden charges (so they
say). Has any one used their services or does anyone have any other
recommendations?
Thank you in advance.

A lot of people recommend Ray Skinner's http://www.london-transfers.com/
(slow server but works)
Very reliable. You'll need two minivans, plus pick-up outside the customs,
at £108.

What is the point of ordering 2 minvans when 8 peole will fit into 2
normal Taxis.
Why go to the extra expense of something bigger if you still have to
pay for two drivers?

It would seem pointless booking a 'van' for 8 unless you only need
one of them

The airport shuttle bus service cost 15GBP per adult (half that for
children) including an open return ticket, which is half the cost of the
service you describe. The shuttle doesn't drop you off at your hotel
doorstep, so you'll need to determine for yourself whether your hotel is
close enough to walk with your luggage or take a taxi from your dropoff
point, since you didn't specifically say where your hotel is located. If
anyone in your party has more luggage than they can easily manage on their
own, then it's probably best to pay extra for Terminal-to-door service (or
educate them on the benefits of travelling light.)
