Why fixed beats metered
What "cheapest" actually means for a business
The cheapest taxi on a Tuesday at 11:00 is rarely the cheapest at 17:30 in the rain. Apps surge by 1.5x to 3x at exactly the moments business travel happens: airport peaks, closing time, strike days, Christmas. Black cabs are metered, so a 40-minute crawl from the City to Heathrow costs more than the quote you had in your head. A fixed fare removes both variables: the price at booking is the price on the invoice, whatever the traffic and whatever the hour, with no surge and no night rate.
For finance teams that is the bigger saving: predictable cost per trip, no expense-claim disputes, one VAT invoice a month instead of 60 receipts.

FAQ
Questions
Is Rushxo cheaper than Uber for business?
At quiet times an app can be a few pounds cheaper. At airport peaks, at night, in rain and on strike days the fixed fare is usually 20% to 50% cheaper, and it is always predictable, which is what a finance team needs.
Do you offer credit accounts?
Yes. Monthly invoicing on 14 or 30-day terms after a short setup, with PO or cost-centre references on each journey.
Can staff book without a card?
Yes. Authorised bookers book by web, WhatsApp or email and the journey goes on the company invoice.
Do you cover airports and out-of-town meetings?
All London airports with meet and greet, plus fixed-price intercity journeys to Birmingham, Manchester, Oxford, Cambridge and the south coast.
