For guests arriving at The Savoy, the trip in from the airport is exactly where a fixed-fare, pre-booked transfer earns its place. The Savoy is London's original grande dame, on the Strand at Strand, London WC2R 0EZ — on the north bank of the Thames, with Charing Cross and Embankment the nearest stations. Whichever London airport you fly into, a Rushxo transfer takes the whole problem off your hands: met in arrivals after a tracked flight, driven directly to Savoy Court, with every toll already built into a price locked at the moment you book. No queue with luggage, no slow connection across town, no surge-priced app after a long-haul flight.

Where we drop you

Arriving at The Savoy — the Strand (WC2)

The Savoy is on the Strand, London WC2R 0EZ, nearest stations Charing Cross and Embankment. We deliver you door-to-door to the famous entrance on Savoy Court — and run the return to any airport on the same fixed-fare basis.

◎ The Savoy Entrance & Savoy Court

We take you to the precise entrance on Savoy Court — the only road in the UK where vehicles drive on the right. Your driver knows the approach and helps with luggage at the canopy.

The Strand is a busy thoroughfare and the courtyard has its own one-way arrangement, so a door-to-door drop-off by a driver who knows the area is the easiest way to arrive — especially after a long-haul flight. Give us the full details at booking and we plan the approach around it.

★ Return Journeys

We run the return leg to any London airport on the same fixed-fare basis, collecting you from The Savoy at the time you need and tracking your departure so you arrive in good time.

Book both legs together and we hold your driver details for the return.

A Fixed Fare With No Surge, Ever

On-demand apps surge exactly when you most need to travel — early mornings, late nights, holidays and bad weather. A Rushxo fare does the opposite: calculated on genuine road distance, quoted as a single fixed figure at booking, and never altered.

About The Savoy — Your Destination

The Savoy, on the Strand at London WC2R 0EZ, is one of the world's most famous hotels — opened in 1889 and a byword for glamour ever since, with its Art Deco and Edwardian rooms, river views and legendary bars and restaurants. The nearest stations are Charing Cross and Embankment, both a short walk, with Covent Garden and Temple nearby. The hotel is reached down Savoy Court, the only public road in the UK where traffic drives on the right, so a door-to-door drop-off by a driver who knows the approach is the easiest way to arrive — especially after a long-haul flight. We take you to the precise entrance, with help loading luggage at both ends.

Perfect for Leisure & Business Guests

Whether you are arriving for a celebration, a theatre weekend in the West End or a business trip in the City, the journey is far simpler in one vehicle than split across cars or managed by train with its changes and escalators. A single Rushxo saloon, executive car or MPV carries your whole party and luggage door-to-door for one fixed fare, frequently calmer and easier than the equivalent rail connections. Child seats and boosters are provided free on request.

Travel Safely — Pre-Booked, Licensed, Accountable

A pre-booked Rushxo transfer is named and identifiable to you in advance: your driver holds an enhanced DBS check as a condition of their TfL Private Hire licence and operates a fully insured, logged vehicle. You receive the driver's name, number, and the vehicle's make, model and registration before pickup. A female chauffeur can be requested for lone or late-night travellers.

Tipping: 10–12.5%% service is often added in restaurants, never in pubs or chippies. Most places take cards; a few old caffs and Sam Smith’s pubs are cash-only. Vegan and gluten-free options are marked on almost every London menu – just ask. The airport shops sell the same tea tins and biscuits at 2–3 times the supermarket price, so buy souvenirs in town.

How to choose. Public transport wins on price for one traveller with hand luggage at 10am. A taxi usually wins when there are two or more of you (one fare for the car, not per person), when you have hold bags or a pushchair, for flights before the first train arrives or landings after the last one leaves, and when a change of train or a station without lifts would be a problem. Rail fares above are per adult; add £4–£6 per person for the DART/shuttle where shown, and remember engineering work most weekends.
