The short answer: opening a RushXO corporate account costs £0 — no setup fee, no monthly or annual fee, no minimum spend, no per-booker charge. You pay only fixed per-journey rates agreed when the account opens: Central London hops from £20, office to Heathrow from £52, hourly as-directed hire from £45. Below is what a real month costs for three typical company sizes, and the fee traps to check any provider for — including us.
Worked examples
Account cost is just journeys × rates — so here are three honest, illustrative months. Your exact rate card is agreed at setup and fixed from then on; these examples use our standard from-rates.
| Company profile | Typical month's journeys | Illustrative monthly total |
|---|---|---|
| Small office / one busy PA | 8 Central London hops (£20), 2 Heathrow runs (£52), 1 client collection Executive (£45) | ~£309 |
| Mid-size firm, 30–80 staff | 30 city hops, 8 airport runs, 4 Executive client journeys, 1 event night (6 cars home ~£150) | ~£1,346 |
| Larger firm / heavy travel | 80 city hops, 20 airport runs, 2 roadshow days (£400), 12 late-working runs (£25), monthly event | ~£4,090 |
Illustrative totals from standard from-rates for typical journeys; your rates are fixed at setup and may improve with volume. The only pass-through extras — airport forecourt charges and the Congestion Charge where genuinely incurred — are disclosed at booking and itemised on the invoice, never hidden in the fare.
The fee checklist
Use this checklist on every quote you gather — ours included. If the answer isn't in writing, treat it as a yes.
Ours: £0. Some providers charge £50–£250 to "configure" an account. There is nothing to configure that justifies a fee.
Ours: £0. Subscription-style account fees quietly add £300–£1,200 a year before a single journey runs.
Ours: none. Minimums punish quiet months; a good account should cost exactly nothing in a month you don't travel.
Ours: none — the 11pm Friday fare equals the 10am Tuesday fare. Percentage "out of hours" uplifts of 25–50% are common elsewhere and demolish event-night budgets.
Ours: £0 — phone bookings, changes, cancellations inside reasonable notice and itemised invoicing are the product, not extras.
Ours: free waiting is built in — 60 minutes at airports from landing, 30 at stations, and sensible grace at doors. Per-minute meters from the moment of arrival are a quiet profit centre.
Compared to the alternatives
App base fares can undercut on a quiet Tuesday hop — then surge 1.5–3× exactly when business travel peaks: rain, rush hour, event nights, strike days. Fixed account rates cost the same at the worst moment, which is when your boss is actually travelling. The full argument is on our taxi vs Uber comparison.
Staff-expensed travel costs more than the fares: receipt chasing, approval time, reconciliation errors, and zero visibility until month-end. One coded invoice deletes that overhead — the mechanics are on the corporate account page.
No account means every urgent journey is a small emergency at retail price. The account costs nothing to hold — so the honest comparison is £0 versus the next 6am scramble.
FAQ
Nothing — £0 setup fee, £0 monthly or annual fee, £0 minimum spend and no per-booker charges. You pay only fixed per-journey rates agreed at setup: Central London hops from £20, office to Heathrow from £52, hourly hire from £45.
It's purely journeys × rates. Illustratively: a small office with one busy PA might spend around £300 a month; a mid-size firm around £1,300; a travel-heavy larger firm around £4,000 — see the worked examples above. A month with no journeys costs £0.
No — rates are fixed around the clock with no surge and no out-of-hours uplift. The only pass-throughs are airport forecourt charges and the Congestion Charge where genuinely incurred, disclosed at booking and itemised.
Yes — rate cards are agreed at setup based on expected routes and volume, and reviewed as usage grows. Higher committed volume earns sharper per-journey rates; nothing changes without written agreement.
Accounts run on simple credit terms agreed at setup — no long lock-in. You can stop using the account at any time, and an unused account costs nothing to keep open.
On quiet off-peak hops an app's base fare can be similar or lower; the difference is that account rates hold during rain, rush hour and event nights when apps surge 1.5–3× — which is precisely when business journeys cluster. Fixed rates make budgets predictable.
