01 / WHY RUSHXOThe reliable way through the disruption
When the trains stop, everyone reaches for their phone at once — and that's exactly when ride-hailing apps surge and street cabs vanish. Rushxo works the opposite way.

- Fixed fare, no surge ever — the price is locked at booking, with no peak, night or Bank Holiday premium, even when half the network is trying to book a car.
- Door-to-door — collected where you are and taken to the door you need, with no changes, no platforms and no dragging cases between replacement buses.
- live traffic routing for Luton — if you're heading to the airport, we watch your flight and plan the run to get you there in good time.
- Licensed, named drivers — TfL-licensed, DBS-checked drivers, with the driver and vehicle details sent to you in advance.
- 24/7 human support — real people on the phone and on WhatsApp, around the clock, when you need to sort travel fast.
