The journey, and where we pick up and drop
Pick-up in Canterbury is at your door, whether that is the town centre, a Kent village or a business park; the driver is named the day before and texts on arrival. At the station end we drop at the small forecourt on Melcombe Place. Returns from Chiltern trains are met at the barriers a few steps from the car.
The drive is about 65 miles; your driver checks closures and picks the fastest route on the day, so the time above already allows for normal traffic.

No Uber, Bolt or Veezu in Canterbury? Rushxo covers it

Rushxo works differently: we are a TfL-licensed private hire operator that covers the whole of Kent 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 Canterbury.
