The journey, and where we pick up and drop
Pick-up in Braintree is at your door, whether that is the town centre, a Essex village or a business park; the driver is named the day before and texts on arrival. At the London end we drop at any London address: a hotel, an office, a family door in the suburbs. Give us the postcode and the fare covers the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where they apply.
Allow 72-104 min for the 45-mile drive. For an early flight or a fixed train we build in a buffer and confirm the pick-up time with you.
London to Braintree: the return leg
London to Braintree is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. For an airport or station pick-up we track the flight or train, meet you at the agreed point and include waiting time, so a delay never changes the price. Book both legs together and the return is 1.8 times a single; if plans change, one message moves the booking.
No Uber, Bolt or Veezu in Braintree? Rushxo covers it
As of September 2026 none of the big ride-hailing apps runs a licensed local service in Braintree, so a long journey to London usually means ringing round local firms for a quote that changes on the day. Rushxo works differently: we are a TfL-licensed private hire operator that covers the whole of Essex at a fixed fare, booked online or on WhatsApp in two minutes, with the price confirmed before the car is dispatched. Early flights, late trains and 8-seaters for the family are all normal work for us in Braintree.
