Where Is Durham?
Durham is a city in County Durham, in North East England, with its centre around the DH1 postcode. It is known for its UNESCO World Heritage cathedral, castle and university. Whether you are arriving for business, an event, a match or a weekend away, a pre-booked, fixed-fare Durham taxi that knows the city and the road network is the relaxed way to travel — especially over the long distances to and from London and the southern airports.
Pick-up & drop-off points in Durham
Rushxo collects you from anywhere in Durham — your home, hotel, office, Durham station or Newcastle Airport — and takes you straight to the door at the other end. For airport and station runs we give you a clear meeting point and your driver’s details in advance, so a taxi to Durham or a taxi from Durham is simply a walk to a named car, with help for the luggage.
Getting Around Durham — Areas We Cover
We cover the whole of Durham and County Durham, door to door. From the city centre out to the suburbs and the surrounding towns, the fare is fixed at booking and the driver knows the area. Popular pickup points include the city centre, the station and the residential neighbourhoods listed below.
Durham & Newcastle Airport: Taxi vs Train
Durham is well connected by rail through Durham and by air through Newcastle Airport (NCL), and for a quick solo trip the train can be excellent. A Durham taxi wins when you are travelling as a group, carrying luggage, arriving late, heading somewhere with no direct rail link, or simply want one fixed price and a door-to-door ride without changes — particularly on the long runs to and from London and the southern airports, where a car turns the journey into comfortable downtime.

Why a fixed fare wins
On a long run to or from Durham, a metered cab can climb unpredictably in traffic and ride-hailing apps surge at the worst moments. A Rushxo fixed fare removes the worry: the price is agreed before you set off and does not move, the Congestion Charge and tolls are built in, and a professional driver takes you door to door — no station changes, no parking, no late-night scramble. For two or more travellers it is often better value than separate rail tickets, and everyone stays together.
Accessibility
We set you down as close to the entrance as access allows, and a wheelchair-accessible vehicle can be arranged in advance (subject to availability), with the driver assisting at both ends. Let us know your needs at booking and we plan the pickup and set-down to suit.
