From the doorstep collection in Chatham to the handover at the cruise terminal, every detail is handled by a professional, route-experienced 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 Chatham pickup around your flight, train or crossing via the M2, A2 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, Chatham to the Port of Tilbury, and include the Dartford Crossing toll and a 60-minute free wait at collection.

From Chatham we pick up the A2 and M25, cross the Thames at the Dartford Crossing, then take the A13 and A1089 down to the Port of Tilbury and the cruise terminal. It is a quick run, with the crossing the main variable, so a route-experienced driver with a sensible buffer matters before a sailing.
Our drivers monitor live traffic and the crossing and adjust the timing to keep you ahead of check-in. The crossing toll is already inside your fixed fare.

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.
Chatham is the largest of the Medway towns in north Kent, about 30 miles east of central London on the M2 and A2, famous for its Historic Dockyard and long naval heritage. Grown together with Rochester, Gillingham and Strood into a single Medway conurbation, it shares the ME4 postcode and centres on a busy High Street, the regenerated waterfront and the Dockside Outlet. Its position on the M2 with fast links to the M25 makes Chatham well placed for transfers to the London stations, the airports and the Channel ports. We collect door-to-door from anywhere across the town and the Medway towns, plan the timing around your service, and lock the price at booking.
The Port of Tilbury sits on the north bank of the River Thames in Essex, about 25 miles east of central London, reached via the A13 and A1089. Its London International Cruise Terminal — the restored former Tilbury Riverside station — is the capital's historic ocean gateway, the arrival point of the Windrush generation and now a base for cruises to the Baltic, Norway and beyond with lines such as Ambassador and Oceania. We drop you at the terminal check-in timed to your sailing, and on the return collect you for the run home.

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.
