London City to Tilbury Taxi – Fixed Price from £65, Book Online 24/7
live traffic routing from departure, met in arrivals with a name board, and driven direct to the London International Cruise Terminal. One fixed fare agreed before you fly — tolls, parking and 60 minutes' waiting included.
London City to Tilbury is the shortest fly-cruise hop we run — both sit on the Thames, minutes apart via the A13. Ideal for business travellers connecting straight from a City flight onto a Thames-side sailing.
22 miles
Approx. distance
60 min
Free arrivals wait
We plan the pickup backwards from your ship's check-in window, not the printed sailing time — boarding usually closes earlier than people expect. Give us the flight number and the sailing, and the arithmetic is ours.
Which vehicle for your party
Sized to match cruise luggage, not airline carry-on. When in doubt, size up — an MPV with spare room costs far less than a second car. Full detail in the luggage & vehicle guide.

Porters take it from the kerb
At the major terminals, porters collect large cases at drop-off and your luggage next appears at your cabin — you only handle it door to kerb. Our driver drops you at the correct terminal for your ship at Tilbury, so the cases travel the shortest possible distance in your hands.

London City to Tilbury questions
How much is a taxi from London City to Tilbury cruise port?
A saloon is a fixed £65 for 1–2 passengers with 2 large cases. An MPV is £91, an 8-seater £117, and an executive car £91. The fare shown at booking is the exact total — no surge, no meter, tolls and parking included.
What if my flight is delayed?
We plan your pickup from departure. If it lands late your driver adjusts automatically, with 60 minutes of free waiting from your actual arrival time. The fixed fare doesn't change.
How long does the transfer take?
Around 45 minutes covering roughly 22 miles, traffic depending. We time the pickup backwards from your ship's check-in so you arrive with buffer to spare.
Can you do the return, Tilbury back to London City?
Yes — book both legs together. We ship-track your return so a late dock or slow disembarkation moves the pickup, never the fare, then drive you straight back to the airport or home.

London City to Tilbury Cruise: how this direction works
Picked up in London City at your door. The price to Tilbury Cruise was agreed when you booked — £65 for the whole car, agreed before you set off, so a slow road on the day changes nothing.
Sailing from Tilbury Cruise: pickup in London City with room for cruise luggage, arriving with time in hand before boarding closes, at a fixed price, £65 for the car.
If you would normally open Uber, Bolt or FreeNow for this journey, the difference is when the price is set: an app quotes at the moment of demand and can surge, while this fare was fixed when you booked and does not rise on the night.
Worth knowing before you book: cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup; child seats are fitted free when you give ages at booking; an executive saloon or chauffeur-driven car can be chosen at booking; and Christmas and New Year supplements are shown in your quote before you book (seasonal fares).
