The journey, and where we pick up and drop
Pick-up in Dover 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 Terminus Place set-down beside the coach station. Returns are met at the barriers; Gatwick Express passengers can connect without the queue.
Allow 1.9-2.8 hrs for the 78-mile drive. For an early flight or a fixed train we build in a buffer and confirm the pick-up time with you.
London Victoria to Dover: the return leg
London Victoria to Dover 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.
On the way back you are travelling east, from London Victoria towards Dover.

No Uber, Bolt or Veezu in Dover? Rushxo covers it
As of September 2026 none of the big ride-hailing apps runs a licensed local service in Dover, so a long journey to London Victoria 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 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 Dover.
