GUILDFORD · FIXED FARES, 24 HOURS A DAY
Guildford taxi, sorted
before you even get in.
RushXO runs fixed-fare transfers from Guildford to the airports, London, mainline stations across the UK, and the cruise ports — plus everyday local journeys, day or night. The price agreed at booking is the price you pay, whatever the traffic, the hour, or the weather does.

THE SHORT VERSION
Five ways people use a Guildford taxi.
This page is the map of the whole service. Pick a category below to go deeper, or keep reading — every section leads with a direct answer before the detail.
The short answer: RushXO is a licensed private hire operator that connects you with local, vetted drivers for pickups across Guildford, offering fixed fares across five journey types — the five London airports, Central London and the wider capital, mainline train stations across the UK, UK cruise ports, and everyday local journeys — available 24 hours a day, every day.
The one thing to know: every fare is agreed before you travel and doesn't move for traffic, weather, time of day, or a delayed flight. There's no algorithmic surge on this page — only a fixed price you can plan around.
Coming the other way? Every route on this page runs in both directions at the same fixed-fare model — a taxi from Heathrow, Gatwick or Waterloo back to Guildford is priced and booked exactly the same way as the outbound leg, and can be arranged in advance so a driver is already scheduled before you set off.
Fixed, all-inclusive fares
Your price is confirmed before you book, not estimated. No surge at night, on public holidays, or in bad weather.
Real 24/7 availability
Drivers work through the night, not just commuter hours. Early flights and 3am pickups are standard here.
Flight & train tracking
We monitor your actual flight or train, so a delay moves your pickup automatically at no extra cost.
A vehicle for every party
Saloon, estate, MPV and 8-seater minibus options, so luggage or group size is never a squeeze.
Local route knowledge
Drivers who know Guildford's one-way system and which route actually beats the A3 at rush hour.
Meet & greet on request
For airport and cruise pickups, a driver can meet you inside with a name board instead of the rank.
AIRPORT TRANSFERS
Guildford to Heathrow, Gatwick and every other UK airport.
Guildford sits close to both the A3 and the M25, which is why it works as a base for airport travel in almost any direction. Full detail lives on the airport transfers hub.
| Airport | Distance | Typical time | Fare from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heathrow (LHR) | ~25 miles | 45–65 min | £45 |
| Gatwick (LGW) | ~28 miles | 45–60 min | £50 |
| Luton (LTN) | ~58 miles | 80–100 min | £85 |
| Southend (SEN) | ~72 miles | 100–120 min | £100 |
| Stansted (STN) | ~78 miles | 100–130 min | £110 |
Distances and journey times are approximate and vary with traffic and time of day. Fares are indicative starting prices for a standard saloon — confirm your exact quote when booking.
Heathrow
The closest major airport, reached via the A3 and M25. Our highest-demand route, with terminal-specific drop-off rather than a general set-down point.
Gatwick
Usually reached via the A217 or A23. Early-morning departures rarely hit traffic, often making this quicker than Heathrow at unsociable hours.
Luton
Traffic around the M25/M1 interchange is the main variable, so we build extra buffer into early-morning collection times.
Southend
The least-travelled of the five from Guildford. Worth checking Stansted or Luton fares too if your airline flies from more than one.
Stansted
The longest run, on the far side of London. Booking ahead matters more here, since low-cost carriers from Stansted often depart very early — a delayed pickup eats further into a tighter check-in buffer than on the shorter routes.
Heathrow and Gatwick are the default choice
Both sit closest to Guildford, on dual carriageway or motorway routes, and are least sensitive to early-morning traffic. Choose Heathrow for long-haul and most legacy carriers, Gatwick if your airline flies primarily short-haul or low-cost. Stansted, Luton and Southend are worth the extra distance only when a specific route or fare makes it worthwhile — book further ahead for these, since a delay eats further into your buffer before check-in closes.
Every airport quote includes drop-off at your terminal rather than a general set-down point, and for return journeys a driver can meet you inside arrivals with a name board rather than leaving you to find the rank after a long flight.
LONDON TRANSFERS
Guildford to London: stations, boroughs and venues.
Guildford to Central London is roughly 40 minutes by car outside peak hours, and about the same by train from Guildford railway station to Waterloo. A taxi earns its place for groups, late trains, luggage-heavy trips, or a door-to-door alternative to the Underground. Full detail lives on the London transfers hub, including the Central London stations page.
Guildford → Waterloo
The fastest London terminus to reach from Guildford by road, and the default choice whenever the destination doesn't strongly favour another station.
Guildford → Paddington
Best pick if your final destination is west or north-west London — saves the most time on the Tube afterwards.
Guildford → Victoria
Suits south London, and connects onward to Gatwick and international coach services.
Guildford → King's Cross / St Pancras
Best for north London, plus onward Eurostar and East Coast connections.
Guildford → Liverpool Street
The most direct option for the City and east London.
Guildford → Cannon Street
A second strong option for the City, particularly for early weekday meetings.
Train or taxi — which is cheaper?
A South Western Railway ticket is usually cheaper per person for one traveller, but a taxi is typically better value for three or more people, for journeys after last trains, or with luggage, since the fare is fixed per vehicle rather than charged per head.
Beyond the mainline stations, we run regularly to specific neighbourhoods for people who don't want a second leg on the Tube: Canary Wharf and the City for business travel, Battersea, Brixton and Clapham in the south, and Kensington, Chelsea and Fulham in the west. Fares are quoted the same way — fixed, before you travel, based on the exact address rather than a rough zone.
A large share of our London bookings are also timed around a specific event rather than a working day — an evening at a West End theatre, a concert at the O2, or a match at one of the major stadiums. For these trips we build in extra time around known pinch points, such as the approach to Wembley on a match day, and can arrange a pickup slot for the return leg so you're not trying to book a car from a packed venue at 11pm. If your final destination sits somewhere between two stations, tell us when booking — we'll route to whichever terminus actually saves you the most time on the ground, not just the nearest one on the map.
LONG-DISTANCE TRAIN STATION TRANSFERS
Guildford to mainline stations across the UK.
Some travellers want a single door-to-door car all the way to a mainline station in another region, avoiding a change with luggage or arriving relaxed for an early departure. Full detail lives on the train stations hub.
| Destination station | Distance | Typical time | Fare from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horsham | ~18 miles | 35–45 min | £35 |
| Reading | ~22 miles | 40–50 min | £40 |
| Colchester | ~85 miles | 1h40–2h10 | £95 |
| Ipswich | ~105 miles | 2h–2h30 | £115 |
| Doncaster | ~190 miles | 3h15–3h45 | £215 |
| Sheffield | ~195 miles | 3h20–3h50 | £220 |
| York | ~230 miles | 3h50–4h20 | £260 |
| Newcastle | ~300 miles | 5h–5h30 | £295 |
Figures are indicative only and vary with route, traffic and driver availability — always confirm the exact fare and time when booking a long-distance journey. Routes include Guildford to Sheffield, Guildford to York and Guildford to Doncaster.
For anything over roughly two hours by road, most people still take the train — it's usually cheaper for a single traveller and doesn't depend on traffic. A taxi wins on door-to-door timing, heavy luggage, groups splitting the cost, or a genuinely early or late departure when the first or last train doesn't fit. Some customers combine both: a short taxi to a nearer mainline station, then the train for the long leg. Longer journeys include a reasonable comfort stop roughly halfway, built into the quoted time rather than charged as extra.
Who books these routes? These aren't impulse bookings — the people who book them tend to fall into a few groups: relocating families moving belongings between regions, business travellers attending a single meeting who'd rather not build a full day around train connections, and people visiting relatives with mobility needs that make station-to-station changes difficult. For journeys over three hours, book at least a few days ahead so we can confirm driver availability for the full round trip — the vehicle is scheduled in advance rather than assigned last-minute, and since the return leg is often booked at the same time, we can hold a return pickup slot so you're not arranging transport home while still travelling.
CRUISE PORT TRANSFERS
Guildford to UK cruise terminals.
Cruise departures are almost always early morning, and port parking is expensive if you drive yourself. A pre-booked taxi removes both problems. Full detail lives on the cruise ports hub.
Guildford → Southampton
The busiest UK cruise port and the shortest run from Guildford. We quote against your specific terminal, since Southampton operates several depending on the cruise line.
Guildford → Tilbury
East of London in Essex — a longer cross-town route, popular for London-based cruise departures.
Guildford → Harwich
The furthest of the three, on the Essex coast — worth booking well ahead given the distance.
Book as soon as your sailing date is confirmed
Most departures need port check-in two to three hours ahead, which often means a 5am or 6am pickup from Guildford — early-morning slots fill first, especially in peak cruise season between May and September. Port parking is one of the most expensive short-stay options in the UK, often costing more per day than the taxi fare itself once a week-long cruise is factored in, and it means leaving a car unattended for the length of the trip.
Because we quote against your specific terminal and sailing time rather than a general port name, there's no ambiguity about where the driver will set you down — useful at Southampton in particular, which has several separate cruise terminals depending on the operator.
24-HOUR & LAST-MINUTE
A genuine night-time taxi service in Guildford.
"24 hour taxi in Guildford" is one of the most common searches we see — a lot of local operators quietly thin out driver numbers after midnight. RushXO doesn't. Full detail on the 24-hour service page.
Direct answer: yes — RushXO runs a genuine 24/7 taxi service across Guildford and the surrounding villages, covering late-night pickups from the town centre and nearby venues, early-morning airport runs before 5am, and short-notice bookings that can often be confirmed within fifteen minutes.
Night-time dispatch works the same way as daytime bookings — a fixed fare and an estimated arrival time before a driver is confirmed, not after. Every journey, day or night, can be tracked from booking to drop-off, and drivers are reachable directly once a booking is confirmed, so a late finish at a Guildford venue doesn't mean standing on a dark street guessing when your car will arrive.
CORPORATE & SPECIAL OCCASIONS
Business travel, weddings and seasonal events.
Beyond the regular routes, a large share of our bookings are tied to something happening on a specific day. These behave differently — demand concentrates into a narrow window, roads are often restricted, and the return leg matters as much as the outbound one. Booking ahead is the single biggest factor in getting a fixed rather than a premium fare on event days, and for the biggest dates on the Surrey and London events calendar, driver availability can be gone a week or more out.
Business accounts
Fixed monthly invoicing for companies with regular staff or client travel, with a single point of contact for scheduling.
Weddings & proms
Decorated or plain vehicles, timed arrivals, and a driver briefed on the full-day schedule, not just one pickup.
Wimbledon & the AELTC
Guildford is a popular base during The Championships — book early, match-day demand fills quickly.
Royal Ascot
Demand spikes hard during Ascot week; a pre-booked fixed fare avoids last-minute surge rates elsewhere.
FA Cup Final & Wembley
Direct transfers to Wembley Stadium and the OVO Arena, timed around the final whistle, not a fixed slot.
British Grand Prix & London Marathon
Longer seasonal transfers that need advance booking due to road closures and unusually high demand.
OUR FLEET
The right vehicle, not just any car.
Vehicle type is chosen at booking, so nobody arrives at the door to find a saloon can't fit four suitcases.
| Vehicle | Passengers | Luggage | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saloon | 4 | 2 large cases | Solo and couple airport transfers, local journeys |
| Estate | 4 | 3–4 large cases | Families and anyone travelling with extra bags |
| MPV (6-seater) | 6 | 4–5 large cases | Small groups, golf trips, larger families |
| Minibus (8-seater) | 8 | 6–8 large cases | Group airport runs, weddings, sports fixtures |
ISOFIX child and booster seats are available on any vehicle with advance notice — just tell us the child's age when booking. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles can be arranged with sufficient notice too. Pets are welcome with advance notice; we ask that carriers are used for smaller animals on airport and long-distance transfers.
If you're not sure which vehicle fits, tell us your passenger count and roughly how many bags — a saloon comfortably fits two large suitcases plus hand luggage, but a third case or a set of golf clubs usually means stepping up to an estate. For groups of five or more, the minibus almost always works out cheaper per person than two separate saloons, since it's still one fixed fare rather than two. Vehicle type can also be changed free of charge up until a driver is confirmed, so an early booking never locks you into the wrong size car.
WHERE WE OPERATE
Every Guildford postcode, and the villages around it.
Coverage runs from the town centre (GU1) through Stoughton and the University of Surrey area (GU2), out to Burpham, Merrow and Shalford (GU4), and on to the outer towns and villages that make up the wider GU postcode district.
Local pickups are just as much a part of the service as long-distance transfers — a short hop from Guildford Spectrum leisure centre, Stoke Park, or the retail parks on the edge of town counts the same as a booking to Heathrow: fixed price, confirmed vehicle, no minimum fare that makes a short trip feel like poor value. Drivers based in and around Guildford tend to know these local jobs best, since they're the ones covering the town between longer bookings.
"Guildford's geography — hemmed in by the North Downs, cut through by the A3 — means the fastest route on paper isn't always the fastest route on the ground. That's where local knowledge earns its keep."
HOW PRICING WORKS
One fare, agreed before you travel.
Every price on this page is a starting guide, not a final quote — but the model behind it is simple and doesn't change based on when you book.
Fares are calculated from distance, vehicle type, and the specific pickup and drop-off addresses. What doesn't factor in is the time of day, the weather, or whether it's a bank holiday — no last-minute surge because demand happened to be high. Waiting time is included for a reasonable window around your booked time; a delayed flight is tracked automatically and doesn't count against you.
A family of four flying from Heathrow with three suitcases would typically book an estate car from a GU1 postcode: a fixed fare from around £48–52, confirmed at booking, covering the vehicle, standard waiting time, and flight tracking — with nothing added afterwards regardless of whether the flight departs on time, early, or delayed.
Included as standard: the vehicle for the full journey, a reasonable waiting window, flight or train tracking, and one item of hand luggage per passenger in addition to hold luggage. Not included by default: toll or congestion charges on certain London routes (added transparently to the quote), and any additional stops not agreed at booking — let us know in advance if your journey needs one, and it can usually be priced in rather than charged as a surprise extra.
If your plans change, most bookings can be amended free of charge up to the cut-off shown at booking — see the FAQ below for exact cancellation windows by journey type. A confirmation with your fare, vehicle and driver details is sent as soon as a driver is assigned, so there's a written record of the price agreed, not just a verbal quote.
PEAK TIMES TO KNOW
When Guildford gets busy.
A handful of predictable periods push demand well above normal, and booking ahead matters most during exactly these windows.
December party season
Late-November through New Year sees the heaviest late-night demand of the year, particularly Thursday to Saturday evenings.
University of Surrey term dates
Start and end of term brings a spike in station and airport transfers as students and families travel with luggage.
Snow and severe weather
The A3 and North Downs roads are among the first locally affected — journeys still run, with realistic, adjusted timings.
Summer event season
May–September overlaps with Ascot, Wimbledon, the Chelsea Flower Show and peak cruise sailings, all competing for driver capacity.
None of these periods mean the service stops taking bookings — they mean the gap between "book now" and "book three weeks ago" starts to matter. If your travel date falls inside one of these windows, booking as soon as the date is fixed, rather than closer to the day, is the single most reliable way to guarantee the vehicle type and pickup time you actually want.
HOW TO BOOK
Four steps, about a minute.
Booking works the same way whether you're arranging a local ride or a cruise transfer three weeks out.
- Enter your journey
Pickup address or postcode, and your destination — airport, station, port, or any London or local address.
- Choose your vehicle
Saloon, estate, or minibus, based on passengers and luggage. We'll suggest one if you're unsure.
- Confirm the fixed price
See the full fare before you commit — no estimate, no range, no surprises on arrival.
- Book and track
Pay online or with the driver, then track your vehicle and get updates as pickup approaches.
Businesses booking regularly can set up a corporate account for consolidated monthly invoicing instead of paying per trip.
SAFETY & LICENSING
Licensed operator, insured vehicles.
RushXO Ltd is a licensed private hire operator, and every vehicle and driver serving Guildford operates within that framework.
Licensed operator
RushXO Ltd holds TfL Private Hire Operator Licence 11588 — a licensed operator, not an unregulated ride-share.
Driver background checks
Standard vetting and background checks are completed before any driver joins the fleet.
Full insurance
Every vehicle carries private hire insurance covering passengers for the duration of the journey.
Tracked journeys
Trips can be tracked in real time, and pickup and drop-off times are logged against the booking.
Vehicles are maintained and inspected in line with private hire licensing requirements, alongside the standard MOT test. If anything about a journey falls short, feedback can be raised directly and is reviewed against the booking record. Personal information collected as part of a booking is used only to fulfil that journey and is not sold to third parties.
One further thing worth knowing: a private hire vehicle can only legally carry you if the journey was booked in advance through a licensed operator, so a driver offering rides directly outside Guildford station or a bar is operating outside the law. Book through the website, phone or WhatsApp above, and check the driver already knows your name and destination before you get in, rather than telling them yourself.
This applies just as much on the outbound leg as the return one — an early-morning airport pickup booked in advance is no different, legally or in practice, from a late-night collection from the town centre. The same licence, the same insurance, and the same fixed-fare model cover every hour on this page.

COMPARING YOUR OPTIONS
Taxi vs train vs rideshare vs coach.
There isn't a single "best" way to travel from Guildford — it depends on party size, luggage, timing and budget.
| Factor | Taxi | Train | Rideshare app | Coach |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Door-to-door | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| Fixed price agreed in advance | Yes | Yes (pre-booked) | No — demand-based | Yes |
| Good for 3+ people | Often cheaper | Priced per person | Often cheaper | Priced per person |
| Available 24/7 | Yes | No — limited nights | Variable | No — fixed timetable |
Quick scenarios: solo, daytime, budget-conscious — the train usually wins. Family of four with luggage on an early flight — a taxi is almost always cheaper than four separate rail or rideshare fares. Group heading to a concert or match — a minibus splits the cost per head below most public transport combinations. Last-minute, late at night — a pre-booked taxi beats an app on price predictability, since surge pricing tends to peak exactly when demand is highest.
None of this makes a taxi the automatic right answer — it's simply the option worth pricing out whenever any of the factors above apply, rather than defaulting to whichever app happens to already be open on your phone at the time.
ABOUT RUSHXO
A licensed operator, backed by local drivers.
RushXO isn't based in Guildford — what's on offer here is a licensed private hire service that connects you with local, vetted drivers for pickups across the town and surrounding villages. The fixed-fare model, the 24-hour booking system and the licensing described on this page are the same everywhere RushXO operates; what changes from area to area is the driver network behind it, and in Guildford that means people who drive these roads every day.
That's where the local route knowledge on this page actually comes from — not a Guildford office, but drivers who know the one-way system, the rat-runs, and which route beats the A3 at rush hour. Pricing still stays fixed and published rather than algorithmic, and because dispatch runs 24 hours a day, the late-night and early-morning bookings other operators treat as an inconvenience are simply part of the normal schedule here.
This page itself is kept current rather than left static — fares, journey times and route pages are reviewed periodically so the figures shown reflect current conditions rather than an outdated snapshot; the "fares checked" date near the top of the page reflects the last review. If you're comparing this against another Guildford operator, the questions worth asking are the ones this page tries to answer up front: is the price fixed before you travel, is someone actually answering the phone at 3am, and does the driver know the difference between the fast way and the sat-nav way.
Every route described above links through to its own dedicated page with more detail, more FAQs, and route-specific booking options — this page is deliberately the overview, not the final word on any single journey. Use the "on this page" bar near the top, or the related-pages list further down, to jump straight to the one that matches your trip.
Coverage isn't limited to headline routes either — if a journey isn't listed explicitly on this page, it's very likely still bookable. Ask through the phone, WhatsApp or booking links above and you'll get a straight answer: a fixed quote if we cover it, or a clear no if we genuinely don't, rather than a vague maybe.
LOCAL GUIDE
Getting to know Guildford.
Guildford is the county town of Surrey, built up the sides of the River Wey valley, with a cobbled High Street that's been the spine of the town for centuries. Guildford Castle and its grounds sit just off the High Street, Guildford Cathedral looks out from Stag Hill, and the University of Surrey campus sits nearby, bringing a steady flow of staff, students and visiting families through the town year-round.
Guildford railway station sits on the South Western Railway line into London Waterloo, with services also running south towards Portsmouth and the coast. The town sits just off the A3, with the M25 accessible via Junction 10 — exactly why routes to all five London airports are realistic from here, and why so many long-distance journeys pass through or near Guildford on their way elsewhere.
The town centre itself is compact enough to walk end to end in under fifteen minutes, but that compactness is exactly why a car earns its place at the edges: Guildford Spectrum, the retail parks off the ring road, the University of Surrey campus on Stag Hill, and the outer villages are all a few miles out rather than a short walk. Traffic through the town centre one-way system can add real time during weekday peaks and on Saturday afternoons, which is factored into local journey estimates rather than treated as an exception.
"Ask someone who's lived here twenty years how long it takes to cross town at 5pm on a Friday, and the answer will be longer than the map suggests. That's the gap local knowledge closes."
The North Downs and the Surrey Hills National Landscape sit just outside town, popular for walking routes and day trips, while G Live hosts touring music and comedy through the year. The River Wey runs alongside the town centre, and the Wey Navigation — one of Britain's earliest canalised waterways — still carries walkers and cyclists along its towpath out towards Guildford's historic wharves. None of this changes how a fare is calculated, but it's useful context if you're new to the area and judging how long a cross-town journey should really take, particularly if you're comparing a quoted taxi time against a straight-line estimate from a map app that doesn't know about the one-way system.
FAQ
Guildford taxi — your questions.
The questions below come from what people actually ask when booking — not a generic list. If yours isn't covered, the phone and WhatsApp links in the header reach a real person, not a script.
How much does a taxi from Guildford to Heathrow cost?
A taxi from Guildford to Heathrow typically costs between £45 and £65 depending on the vehicle size and time of day, with no surge pricing. The journey usually takes 45 to 65 minutes depending on traffic on the A3 and M25. Book in advance to lock in a fixed, all-inclusive fare.
How long does it take to get from Guildford to Gatwick?
The drive from Guildford to Gatwick Airport takes roughly 45 to 60 minutes under normal traffic conditions, covering around 28 miles. Fixed fares typically start from around £50, with meet-and-greet available for early or late flights.
Is there a 24-hour taxi service in Guildford?
Yes. RushXO operates a genuine 24/7 taxi service across Guildford and the surrounding villages, including late-night, early-morning and last-minute bookings. Drivers are available around the clock, and online bookings can be made at any hour.
How do I book a taxi from Guildford to London?
You can book a Guildford to London taxi online in under a minute by entering your pickup point, destination station or address, and preferred time. You'll receive a fixed price before you confirm, and can pay by card online or in the vehicle.
Is it cheaper to take the train or a taxi from Guildford to London?
A South Western Railway ticket is usually cheaper per person for a single traveller, but a taxi becomes better value for groups of three or more, for late trains, or when carrying luggage, as the fare is fixed per vehicle rather than per person.
Can I book a taxi from Guildford to a train station outside London, like York or Sheffield?
Yes. RushXO offers long-distance, door-to-door transfers from Guildford to mainline stations across the UK, including York, Sheffield, Doncaster and Newcastle. These journeys are priced individually given the distance, and are popular with business travellers who prefer not to change trains with luggage.
Do you offer transfers to cruise ports from Guildford?
Yes. RushXO provides early-morning and late-night transfers from Guildford to Southampton, Tilbury and Harwich cruise terminals, timed around your departure. Because most cruises depart early, we recommend booking your slot as soon as your sailing date is confirmed.
How far in advance should I book a Guildford taxi?
For airport and cruise transfers we recommend booking at least 24 to 48 hours ahead, especially for early-morning departures. For local journeys around Guildford, particularly during the day, same-day and even short-notice bookings are usually possible.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight number, not just your booked pickup time, so if your flight is delayed the driver's arrival adjusts automatically at no extra charge for reasonable delays. Just make sure you've given us your flight number when booking.
What size vehicles are available?
The fleet ranges from standard saloon cars (up to 4 passengers, 2 large cases) to estate cars with extra luggage space, and 8-seater minibuses for groups or families with multiple bags. Select your vehicle type when you book, or ask us to recommend one based on your party size.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes, ISOFIX child and booster seats can be requested at no extra charge with advance notice. Please specify the age of the child when booking so the correct seat size is provided.
Are your drivers licensed?
Yes. RushXO is a licensed private hire operator, and every driver and vehicle is licensed, insured and background-checked before joining the fleet.
Which postcodes and areas do you cover?
RushXO covers all Guildford postcodes (GU1 to GU9) and the surrounding towns and villages, including Godalming, Merrow, Burpham, Onslow Village, Stoughton, Woking, Farnham and Cranleigh, along with pickups from Guildford railway station.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. You can pay securely online by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay at the time of booking, or by contactless card directly with the driver.
Do you charge more at night or on public holidays?
No. Fares are fixed at the time of booking regardless of the time of day, so there is no late-night or holiday surcharge added after your journey has been confirmed.
Can I book a return journey in advance?
Yes. You can book your outbound and return transfer at the same time, which is especially useful for airport and cruise trips, so your return driver is already scheduled before you travel.
Do you serve both terminals at Gatwick?
Yes. We can drop off or collect from either Gatwick North or South Terminal — just confirm which one your airline uses when you book, since a wrong-terminal drop-off can mean an extra shuttle transfer on your end.
What is your cancellation policy?
Bookings can usually be cancelled or amended free of charge up to a set cut-off before pickup, typically a few hours' notice for local journeys and longer for airport, cruise or long-distance transfers. Check the specific cut-off shown when you book, since it varies by journey type.
Can you pick me up from a specific venue or address in Guildford, not just the station?
Yes. Any specific address, venue or postcode within our coverage area can be set as a pickup or drop-off point, not just the railway station or town centre landmarks.
Do you offer wheelchair-accessible vehicles?
Yes, with advance notice. Let us know when booking so an appropriate vehicle, rather than a standard saloon, is scheduled for your journey.
Can I book a short local journey, like Guildford to Woking?
Yes. Local and short-hop journeys around Guildford and neighbouring towns such as Woking, Godalming and Farnham are booked the same way as longer transfers, with a fixed fare confirmed before you travel.
How do I get a receipt or invoice for a business trip?
A receipt is generated automatically for every online booking. For businesses booking regularly, a corporate account can be set up for consolidated monthly invoicing instead of individual receipts.
