How much is a taxi from Newham to London City Airport?
Fixed-price taxi from Newham to London City Airport starts from £65 for a saloon (up to 4 passengers). From areas closest to the Royal Docks the journey can take as little as 5–10 minutes; from Stratford in the north of the borough, allow 15–20 minutes.
Do you offer transfers to and from ExCeL London?
Yes. ExCeL London sits inside Newham, close to London City Airport. RushXO offers fixed-price transfers for conference and exhibition traffic, with executive vehicles available for client pickups.
What does "fixed pricing" mean?
The fare is quoted and agreed before you book, and it doesn't change with traffic, time of day, weather or demand. Any applicable extras are always disclosed at booking, never added on the day.
Are your drivers background checked?
Yes. Every RushXO driver is DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked, and RushXO holds a Transport for London Private Hire Operator licence, number 11588.
Do you operate in Newham 24/7?
Yes — 24 hours a day, every day of the year including Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Same fixed prices at night: no night, weekend or holiday surcharge.
Can I book a larger vehicle for a group?
Yes. Alongside saloons and executive cars we run MPV 6-seaters and V Class minibuses — ideal for families and conference groups. Choose your vehicle when you get your quote.
Do you have wheelchair-accessible taxis?
Yes, wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available. Please state your requirements when booking so we allocate the right car.
Do you offer corporate or conference accounts?

What payment methods do you accept?
