The same £5.90 on Oyster or a contactless card, from any Heathrow terminal, to any Zone 1 station, at any hour — TfL offers no off-peak fare on this journey at all. A paper single is £7.00. It counts towards the daily cap, which the Express does not.
A private car to your door: £132 for four
Four pay £23.60 on the Piccadilly line. The car meets you in arrivals and takes you to any address in London in about 45–97 min, at a price fixed when you book ahead with Welcome Pickups.
A partner link: Welcome Pickups pays us a commission on a booking. It has no say in how the options are ranked.

Worth knowing
The airport states trains run between 05:00 and 23:30. On Friday and Saturday nights the Night Tube runs through, but TfL's timetable says it serves "Heathrow Terminal 5 (excluding Heathrow Terminal 4)" — so Terminal 4 has no night service on any night.
There is no off-peak fare on this journey. Landing at a quiet hour saves you nothing, which is not true of any other Zone 6 station.
The Night Tube runs on Friday and Saturday nights only, and not to Terminal 4.
