A direct cross-London run from London City arrivals to Heathrow Terminal 5 departures - no train changes, no Underground with cases.
We watch your inbound landing and your onward departure, building a sensible connection buffer so a delay does not derail the transfer.
The driver meets you at London City arrivals with a name board, helps with the luggage, and gets you to T5 check-in directly.
Fares below are fixed one-way between London City Airport and Heathrow Terminal 5, and include tolls and a flight-tracked arrival wait at London City.
RushXO prices the cross-London connection on genuine road distance and quotes a single fixed figure for the vehicle, with tolls included. A saloon starts from around £75. Here is the indicative range:

From London City in the Royal Docks the driver heads west across the capital - typically the A13 and A406 North Circular, or through the centre depending on traffic, then onto the M4 and the Heathrow spur to Terminal 5 at the airport's western edge. It crosses London end to end, so traffic is the main variable and we plan a generous connection buffer around it.
Terminal 5 is Heathrow's dedicated British Airways and oneworld terminal, set slightly apart with its own spur, so the final approach is direct once you reach the airport.

London City (LCY) is the capital's most central airport, sitting in the Royal Docks in east London a short hop from the City and Canary Wharf. Its single compact terminal is built for speed - check-in to gate is famously quick - which makes it a favourite with business travellers and short-haul European flyers. Because it is so close to town, a pre-booked, fixed-fare car is the natural way to reach it: door to terminal in one vehicle, with no awkward rail interchange and no parking to pay for.
We collect from every London borough and postcode - the City, Canary Wharf, the West End, and the wider suburbs - at the time the journey actually needs. You tell us the address and the flight; we handle the routing, the timing and the tolls. On the return we track your inbound flight and meet you at LCY arrivals for the run home.
A pre-booked RushXO transfer means your driver is named and identifiable 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.
RushXO Ltd is a Dartford-based private hire operator licensed by Transport for London, registered at Companies House under number 16464640 and with the ICO under reference ZC112187. Every driver holds a current TfL Private Hire Driver licence, and our model rests on one promise: the fixed fare quoted at booking is the fare you pay, every journey, every time.

"Early LCY flight from Canary Wharf. Driver was five minutes early, fixed price agreed in advance, spotless car, and I was at the terminal in twenty minutes. Perfect for a business trip."
"Use RushXO for every City Airport trip. Same fixed price, and they track the flight on the way back - the driver was waiting when I landed. No meter, no fuss."
"Group of us with luggage in one minibus to LCY - clean, the driver helped with every bag, and the fixed fare beat separate cabs hands down."
