Christmas Eve is the last full travel day before the network shuts down, and it ends early: trains and Tube services wind down in the evening and there is nothing at all the next morning. Anyone landing on the evening of 24 December, or flying out on a late departure, needs a car that is booked, not hoped for. Rushxo fares are fixed when you book, per car, and the price is the same as on any other day.
Expect heavy traffic out of London from early afternoon as people leave for the holiday, and quiet roads late. The fare does not change with either.

Late arrivals on Christmas Eve are the classic case for a pre-booked driver: by the time a delayed flight clears immigration, the last trains have gone. Your driver tracks the flight, waits in arrivals with a name board and the free hour of waiting counts from touchdown, so a delay costs you nothing and you still get home for Christmas morning.

Yes. National Rail and most Tube lines finish earlier than usual on 24 December and nothing runs on Christmas Day, so check last trains carefully or book a car that does not depend on them.
No. The fixed fare applies at any hour, including after midnight into Christmas Day.
Yes. The driver tracks the flight and the free hour of waiting starts at actual touchdown, not the scheduled time. A delay moves the pickup; it does not cancel it.
A saloon takes up to three passengers and two cases. For a family with Christmas luggage, book an MPV or 8-seater; it is still one fixed fare for the vehicle.
