Cambridge is a city in Cambridgeshire, East of England, known for the University, King's College Chapel, the Backs and punting. For a taxi to or from Cambridge, Rushxo runs fixed-fare, door-to-door transfers across the city and to London, the airports and the rest of the UK. The nearest airport is Stansted Airport (STN) and the main rail hub is Cambridge. A Cambridge taxi is a single fixed fare — from £83 for a local airport run and from £135 from London — with no meter and no surge.
This is the complete guide to a Cambridge taxi: where the city is, the areas and addresses we collect from, the nearest station and airport, how a fixed-fare car compares with the train, and exactly what a taxi to Cambridge and a taxi from Cambridge costs from London and the airports. Rushxo is a TfL-licensed private-hire operator, and every Cambridge journey is door-to-door on a price agreed before you travel — no meter, no surge, tolls included.
Cambridge is a city in Cambridgeshire, in East of England, with its centre around the CB1 postcode. It is known for the University, King's College Chapel, the Backs and punting. Whether you are arriving for business, an event, a match or a weekend away, a pre-booked, fixed-fare Cambridge taxi that knows the city and the road network is the relaxed way to travel — especially over the long distances to and from London and the southern airports.
Pick-up & drop-off points in Cambridge
Rushxo collects you from anywhere in Cambridge — your home, hotel, office, Cambridge station or Stansted Airport — and takes you straight to the door at the other end. For airport and station runs we give you a clear meeting point and your driver’s details in advance, so a taxi to Cambridge or a taxi from Cambridge is simply a walk to a named car, with help for the luggage.
Getting Around Cambridge — Areas We Cover

Cambridge & Stansted Airport: Taxi vs Train
Cambridge is well connected by rail through Cambridge and by air through Stansted Airport (STN), and for a quick solo trip the train can be excellent. A Cambridge taxi wins when you are travelling as a group, carrying luggage, arriving late, heading somewhere with no direct rail link, or simply want one fixed price and a door-to-door ride without changes — particularly on the long runs to and from London and the southern airports, where a car turns the journey into comfortable downtime.

Why a fixed fare wins
On a long run to or from Cambridge, a metered cab can climb unpredictably in traffic and ride-hailing apps surge at the worst moments. A Rushxo fixed fare removes the worry: the price is agreed before you set off and does not move, the Congestion Charge and tolls are built in, and a professional driver takes you door to door — no station changes, no parking, no late-night scramble. For two or more travellers it is often better value than separate rail tickets, and everyone stays together.
Accessibility
We set you down as close to the entrance as access allows, and a wheelchair-accessible vehicle can be arranged in advance (subject to availability), with the driver assisting at both ends. Let us know your needs at booking and we plan the pickup and set-down to suit.

From
Public transport
What it involves
Heathrow
National Express coach
Direct, fastest about 2 hours 25 minutes
Heathrow
Elizabeth line to Farringdon, then Thameslink
One change, about 2 hours in total
Gatwick
Thameslink
Direct, about 1 hour 55 minutes
From Gatwick, the direct Thameslink train is a good option even with two cases. Stay on until Cambridge station, not Cambridge North, which is further from the centre. From Heathrow, the coach avoids a change but takes longer. The train route means carrying cases through a busy interchange at Farringdon.
A car is the better choice if you land late, are tired after a long flight, or have more than two cases. A pre-booked car has a fixed fare agreed at booking, tracks your flight and gives 60 minutes of free waiting. It drops you at your college rather than the station.
Q: Which Cambridge station should I get off at?
A: Get off at Cambridge station, not Cambridge North. Cambridge station is the one closer to the city centre and most colleges.
Q: Is there a direct train from Gatwick to Cambridge?
A: Yes. Thameslink runs direct from Gatwick Airport to Cambridge, taking about 1 hour 55 minutes. The station is at the South Terminal, with a free shuttle from the North Terminal.
