Theatre curtain pickups, late West End nights without the surge, and executive cars for Mayfair — with the Congestion Charge already in your fare. One price agreed before you travel.
A taxi in W1 booked with RushXO is a fixed-fare journey across Soho, Mayfair, Marylebone and Fitzrovia: agreed before you travel, Congestion Charge included. We cover every W1 street door to door, around the clock — from a Mayfair boardroom to last orders in Soho and a curtain-down pickup on Shaftesbury Avenue.
The neighbourhoodW1 is the heart of the West End and no two corners are alike. Soho — the restaurants, bars and the Theatreland fringe around Shaftesbury Avenue and Wardour Street. Mayfair — the addresses, hotels, private members' clubs and the galleries around Cork Street. Marylebone — the village high street, the Wigmore Hall and the Harley Street medical quarter. And Fitzrovia — Charlotte Street's dining and the media and advertising offices around it. Oxford Street and Regent Street run along the edges, and the whole district sits inside the Congestion Charge zone.
The West End is superbly served by the Underground, but not after the last train, not from a theatre door in the rain, and not with the Congestion Charge sprung on you at the end. Our fixed fare covers the charge and picks you up at the door — on a price agreed before you travel, whatever the hour and however the West End surges around you.
Why locals book usTheatreland empties onto Shaftesbury Avenue and the Soho streets all at once, and every app surges the moment the curtain drops. Pre-book and your price was locked hours earlier; we agree a pickup point clear of the crush and time it to your curtain-down, not the demand spike.
Soho's bars and restaurants run late, and midnight is exactly when ride-hail prices multiply across W1. A pre-booked fixed fare is immune — the 1am price home equals the 1pm price, agreed before you went out rather than negotiated on the pavement afterwards.
Mayfair boardrooms, hotels and members' clubs expect a certain standard. Executive saloons for client journeys, monthly-invoiced corporate accounts, and discreet pickups from a named hotel or office entrance — with the Congestion Charge already inside the quote.
Every airport run is quoted before you travel and includes free meet & greet inside the terminal, live flight tracking, and 60 minutes of free waiting from the moment you land.

Times vary with the hour; your exact fixed price is confirmed at booking from your door address and vehicle.
Getting aroundOxford Circus, Bond Street and Tottenham Court Road put half the Underground network under W1 — perfect until the last train goes, until you're at a theatre door with a downpour outside, or until a hailed cab adds the Congestion Charge you forgot about. For theatre nights, late Soho dinners, luggage runs to the airport and anything requiring a certain standard, a fixed-fare car — charge included — is the predictable choice.
