From the doorstep collection in Braintree to the drop in Chelmsford, every detail is handled by a professional, local chauffeur.
The price you see is the price you pay. Any toll, the London Congestion Charge and waiting time are built into the quote — agreed at booking and never altered, whatever the traffic does on the day.
We plan your Braintree pickup around your flight or train via the A120, M11 and M25, building in a sensible buffer. On the return we track your inbound service so the driver is already adjusting if it runs early or late — reasonable delays are never charged.
Every driver is TfL Private Hire licensed, enhanced-DBS checked, and knows the London road network inside out. Suited, courteous and discreet.
Pre-dawn departures, late-night arrivals, last-minute bookings — our dispatch runs around the clock, and a 5am job costs exactly the same fixed fare as a midday one.
Saloons, executive Mercedes and BMW, six-seat MPVs and 8–9-seat minibuses — valeted before every job, with complimentary bottled water and phone chargers.
On the return, your driver waits at the terminal or concourse with your name on a board, tracks your service and helps with the luggage — no taxi-rank queue. A 4.9-star service across 4,850 patrons.
Every vehicle is available for this route. Fares below are fixed one-way, Braintree to Chelmsford, and include a 60-minute free wait at collection.

On-demand apps apply surge pricing that peaks exactly when you most need to travel — early mornings, late nights, holiday weekends 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. No surge multiplier, no peak uplift, no night premium, no Bank Holiday surcharge. Whatever the traffic does, the driver absorbs the delay; your fare does not move.
Braintree is the largest town in its district of Essex, about 15 miles north-east of Chelmsford and around 45 miles from central London, grown together with neighbouring Bocking on the historic A120. It is known for its Town Hall and clock tower, the Braintree Village designer outlet and a branch of the Great Eastern Main Line into London Liverpool Street. For travellers here, the realistic routes to the London airports and stations run via the A120 to the M11 and M25, where a pre-booked fixed-fare car removes the changes and the cross-London hop. We collect door-to-door from anywhere across Braintree, Bocking and the CM7 villages, plan the timing around your service, and lock the price at booking.
Chelmsford is the county town and only city of Essex, about 32 miles north-east of central London on the Rivers Chelmer and Can, off the A12. Known as the birthplace of radio through Marconi, it has a lively centre with the High Street, Bond Street shopping, the cathedral and fast trains to London Liverpool Street. We take you door-to-door to any address across the city and its CM suburbs.

For families and groups the journey is far simpler in one vehicle than split across cars or managed by public transport with its changes. A single RushXO MPV or 8–9-seater carries everyone and all the luggage door-to-door for one fixed fare — frequently cheaper per head than the alternatives, and far less stressful with children or early starts. Child seats and boosters are provided free on request; just tell us the ages and number of children at booking.
A pre-booked RushXO transfer means your driver is named and identifiable to you in advance, 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, at no surcharge.
