Fixed-fare private transfer · per vehicle · 24/7
A Wigan to Dudley private transfer with Rushxo is booked as one fixed price for the vehicle - not per person - covering the full door-to-door distance of about 95 miles. You will know the exact fare, the vehicle class and the pickup plan before the day.
This page sets out everything most travellers ask us about the route: realistic journey times at different hours, what each vehicle class costs, how the fare compares with the train and the coach, and how pickup actually works on the day. If anything is missing, the booking desk answers on phone and WhatsApp around the clock.
The Wigan to Dudley run is about 95 miles by road, but the clock depends heavily on when you travel. These are the planning figures our dispatchers use for this corridor:
Off-peak - mid-morning, early afternoon and most of the weekend. The realistic default for planning.
Weekday peak - roughly 07:00-09:30 and 16:00-18:30. Book the earlier pickup; the fare does not change.
Overnight - after 22:00 the roads empty out. Popular for dawn flights and late arrivals, at the same fixed fare.
Estimates for a direct run in normal conditions; your driver follows live routing on the day.
| Vehicle | Fare | Passengers | Large cases | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saloon | from GBP 245 | 3 | 2 | Toyota Prius / VW Passat class. The standard fixed-fare car for up to three travellers. |
| Estate | from GBP 275 | 3 | 4 | Same passenger count, double the boot. The right call for golf bags, prams or airport-sized luggage. |
| Executive | from GBP 355 | 3 | 2 | Mercedes E-Class class. Leather, water, phone chargers - for client pickups and occasions. |
| MPV (6 pax) | from GBP 340 | 6 | 4 | VW Sharan / Galaxy class for families and small groups travelling together. |
| 8-seat minibus | from GBP 405 | 8 | 8 | Mercedes Vito class. One vehicle for the whole party, luggage trailer arrangeable. |
From-prices per vehicle for this route, fixed when your booking is confirmed. Reasonable hand luggage is additional to the case counts shown.
Because the fare covers the vehicle, the per-person cost falls fast with company: the saloon at GBP 245 works out near GBP 122 each for two travellers, GBP 82 for three - and the MPV splits six ways at around GBP 57 a head. That is the arithmetic that makes private transfer competitive with rail on this corridor for groups.
City-to-city by private car wins on flexibility: you leave when you want, not when the timetable says, and the fare covers the vehicle - for two or more travellers it often undercuts walk-up rail fares.
| Option | Indicative cost | Door to door? | Runs at night? | Luggage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rushxo private transfer | from GBP 245 per vehicle | Yes | Yes, 24/7, same fare | Confirmed at booking |
| Train | GBP 39-91 per person* | No - station to station | Limited / none | Self-managed |
| Coach | GBP 17-41 per person* | No - stop to stop | Sparse overnight | Hold limits apply |
*Indicative public-transport ranges for comparison only; actual ticket prices vary by operator, date and booking time - check operators for live fares.
The honest version: for a solo traveller on an advance ticket, the train can win on price. The private transfer wins when the value of door-to-door shows up - luggage, groups, odd hours, hard deadlines, or simply not wanting to manage two station transfers with a family in tow.
Message or call with Wigan to Dudley, your date, time and passenger count. Quotes usually come back within minutes, 24/7.
We confirm the exact fare for your vehicle class in writing. That number is now fixed - traffic, hour and weather cannot move it.
Before travel you receive the driver's name, vehicle and contact, plus the operator handling your leg of the journey.
The driver arrives at the agreed slot, helps with luggage, and takes the best live route for the 95-mile run. Pay nothing extra at the kerb.
Child seats, extra luggage space or a larger vehicle for groups are arranged at booking - tell us once and it is handled.
A human answers. Booking changes, delays and special requests go through real support on phone or WhatsApp, 24/7.

For meetings or events with a hard start time, give us the must-arrive-by time instead of a pickup time - we plan backwards from it.

Contact us on phone or WhatsApp as soon as you know. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before pickup on standard bookings, and we always try to rebook rather than cancel.
Yes - loading and unloading is part of the job at both the Wigan pickup and the Dudley drop-off.
Most bookings are paid by card once the fare is confirmed. The price agreed at booking is the price charged - no meter, no surge, nothing to settle in cash at the kerb unless you prefer to.
Short comfort stops are no problem. Planned detours or extra pickups just need to be mentioned at booking so the fixed quote covers them.
