RushXO

Basingstoke Taxi & Airport Transfers

Basingstoke is a major Hampshire business and retail hub on the M3, well placed for both Heathrow and the routes into the West Country. Its ring road, business parks and Festival Place shopping centre make it one of the largest towns in the south, and with junction 6 of the M3 on its edge, Heathrow is around 35 miles and 45 minutes for the corporate travellers who fill its hotels.

RushXO is a TfL-licensed private hire operator providing fixed-price, no-surge taxis and executive cars across Basingstoke and the rest of Hampshire. Every journey is quoted in full before you travel — airport transfers, station runs, cruise and ferry ports, business travel and days out — with professional drivers, flight tracking and 24-hour availability, 365 days a year.

*Typical ranges for guidance only — actual journey time depends on the time of day, roadworks and weather. When you book we suggest a pickup time that gives you sensible margin for check-in. Meet-and-greet on airport pickups includes flight tracking, so if your flight is late your driver simply meets the actual landing time.

Local knowledge: getting around Basingstoke

The M3 north-east to junction 12 of the M25 is the Heathrow route, and it flows well outside the peaks; Gatwick is the M3 and M25 anticlockwise to the M23, about an hour and a quarter. The A33 runs to Reading and the A339 to Newbury, and the A30 is the old London road through Hook. Basingstoke's ring road and roundabouts — the Black Dam roundabout at junction 6 in particular — are the local challenge, and our drivers know the business parks at Chineham, Viables and Hatch Warren as well as the station and Festival Place.

Main roads

Rail and public transport

Basingstoke has South Western Railway fast trains to Waterloo in around 45 minutes, CrossCountry services to Reading and the North, and GWR trains to Reading. Trains are great for a quick trip into town, but for early flights, late arrivals, luggage, children or a group travelling together, a pre-booked fixed-price car from your door in Basingstoke is usually quicker, simpler and — for two or more people — often no more expensive.
