Broadstairs Taxi & Airport Transfers

Broadstairs is a classic Kent seaside town on the Isle of Thanet, famous for its sandy bay and its links to Charles Dickens. At the far eastern tip of Kent it is one of our longer journeys from London — but with Thanet Way, the M2 and HS1 it is easier to reach than its distance suggests, and we run to and from the town every week for holidays, second homes and airport connections.

RushXO is a TfL-licensed private hire operator providing fixed-price, no-surge taxis and executive cars across Broadstairs and the rest of south-east London and Kent. Every journey is quoted in full before you travel — airport transfers, station runs, cruise and ferry ports, business travel and days out — with professional drivers, flight tracking and 24-hour availability, 365 days a year.

Airport transfers from Broadstairs

We run to and from every London airport from Broadstairs around the clock. Distances and typical door-to-door times are shown below; your fixed fare is confirmed at booking and does not change if traffic is slow.

*Typical ranges for guidance only — actual journey time depends on the time of day, roadworks and weather. When you book we suggest a pickup time that gives you sensible margin for check-in. Meet-and-greet on airport pickups includes flight tracking, so if your flight is late your driver simply meets the actual landing time.

Local knowledge: getting around Broadstairs

From Broadstairs the A256 and A299 Thanet Way lead to the M2 at Faversham in about 30 minutes, and from there it is the M2, M25 and M23 for Gatwick or the M2 and M25 for Heathrow — around two hours in normal conditions. Summer weekends bring heavy traffic on the Thanet Way and around Viking Bay, and Dickens Week in June and Folk Week in August fill the town. Broadstairs station has HS1 trains to St Pancras in around 80 minutes, and we regularly collect from it for onward travel.

Rail and public transport

Broadstairs has Southeastern High Speed services to St Pancras in around 80 minutes and classic services to Victoria via Canterbury and Faversham. Trains are great for a quick trip into town, but for early flights, late arrivals, luggage, children or a group travelling together, a pre-booked fixed-price car from your door in Broadstairs is usually quicker, simpler and — for two or more people — often no more expensive.
