Short answer: you can hire a Rushxo car and driver for a few hours or the whole day, as directed, from £65 an hour for a saloon. The driver, fuel, waiting and VAT are inside the hourly price, the figure is fixed before you book, and the same car can be an executive Mercedes, a six-seat MPV or a 9-seater for a group.

The night-before message

The evening before your journey you get a WhatsApp with your driver's name and TfL badge number, so you know who is coming before you go to sleep. The car model and number plate follow before pickup.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to hire a taxi for a day in London?

As-directed hire is from £65 an hour for a saloon with the driver, fuel and VAT included, quoted as a block for the hours you need. A full day is priced the same way; ask on WhatsApp with your rough itinerary for a fixed figure.

Can the driver wait while I shop or attend a meeting?

Yes. That is what hourly hire is for: the car and driver stay with you, and stops, waiting and detours are all inside the hourly price.

Is there a minimum booking?

Hourly hire is normally booked for a minimum of three hours. For a single A-to-B journey a fixed fare is cheaper; see the booking page.

Do you cover outside London?

Yes. Day hire to Windsor, Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton, the Cotswolds or Bath is common; see the day-trips guide for one-way fixed prices, or ask for an as-directed day rate.

Taxi hire near me: which areas do you cover?

All of Greater London and the Home Counties, with pickups from any address, hotel, station or airport, 24 hours a day.
