The journey, and where we pick up and drop
Pick-up in Folkestone 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 forecourt on the Strand. Returns are met at the top of the ramp; the West End and Trafalgar Square are a minute away.
At 73 miles this is a 1.8-2.6 hrs drive in normal conditions. Roadworks and rush hour are the driver’s problem, not yours: the fare is fixed either way.
London Charing Cross to Folkestone: the return leg
London Charing Cross to Folkestone 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.
No Uber, Bolt or Veezu in Folkestone? Rushxo covers it
As of September 2026 none of the big ride-hailing apps runs a licensed local service in Folkestone, so a long journey to London Charing Cross 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 Folkestone.
