If there are 2 or more of you a either a black cab or minicab back to a terminal will be cheaper than taking the Hoppa and much more convenient. For T4 it may be marginally more expensive for only 2 people by car, I haven't taken a car to T4 for quite some time so I am not 100% sure what the rates are these days.
The big advantage for me of taking a car to the terminal is that it arrives when you want it so there is no wait time. You can leave your room when the car arrives check out and go straight to the terminal.
