East Midlands Airport taxi: how to book and what you pay

Rushxo runs pre-booked East Midlands airport taxis 24 hours a day. Tell us the pickup address, the flight and the number of passengers and bags; we quote one fixed fare per car, which you can book online in about two minutes, by phone on 020 8888 9988 or on WhatsApp. The fare covers the East Midlands drop-off or pickup charge, waiting time if your flight is late and any night, weekend or bank-holiday travel. There is no meter and no surge, so the price at 4am on a Sunday is the price you were quoted on Tuesday.

East Midlands Airport is at Castle Donington, between Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, at junction 24 of the M1. It has a single terminal. Public transport is no railway station; Skylink buses to Derby, Nottingham, Leicester and Loughborough, which works well with one bag on a weekday afternoon and much less well at 5am with a family, a pushchair and four suitcases. East Midlands serves three cities with no train link to any of them, so a taxi is the practical option for most passengers. The airport charges for forecourt drop-off; the fee is included in your fixed fare.

Taxi to East Midlands Airport: departures

For departures we work backwards from your flight. Give us the departure time and we suggest a pickup that lands you at the terminal in good time for check-in, allowing for the time of day and the usual traffic on the approach roads. The driver arrives at your door, loads the luggage and drops you at the correct terminal entrance for your airline. If you would rather set your own pickup time, that is fine too; the fare is the same.

Group travelling to East Midlands? An 8-seat minibus is priced per vehicle, so four to eight people with luggage usually pay less per head than any train or ride-hail combination, and everyone leaves from the same door at the same time.

Taxi from East Midlands Airport: arrivals and meet and greet

For arrivals at East Midlands the driver tracks your flight number, so a late landing simply moves the pickup. Standard airport pickups include meet and greet: the driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board showing your name, helps with the bags and walks you to the car. If you prefer, we can arrange a phone-and-meet at the pickup point instead. Either way, there is no queue at a rank and no wandering the car park looking for an app driver who has just cancelled.

Arriving on a long-haul flight and heading straight on to a hotel, a cruise port or another airport? Tell us at booking and we route the journey and time the pickup accordingly; connections between East Midlands and the other UK airports are among our most frequent runs.

East Midlands Airport taxi prices: what affects the fare

The fare depends on distance, vehicle type and, for some long routes, the time of day. It does not depend on traffic, weather, demand or how many people are travelling. Saloon is the base price; estate, executive Mercedes E-Class, 6-seat MPV and 8-seat minibus are priced per vehicle. Extras such as child seats and additional stops are shown in the quote, and the East Midlands airport charges are included. Ask for a quote for the exact journey and you will see the full price before you decide.

Compared with an airport parking week, a black cab on the meter or a surge-priced app at peak, a pre-booked fixed fare is usually the cheaper option for anything beyond a very short local hop, and it is always the more predictable one.
