01 / URGENTWhen to use a taxi vs 999
If you or someone you care for has a life-threatening emergency, always call 999 for an ambulance. However, for urgent but non-life-threatening medical needs—GP appointments, A&E admission, hospital visits, rehabilitation appointments, mental health crises requiring hospital care—a private taxi is often faster than ambulance queues and more discreet for privacy-conscious patients. A taxi puts you directly in front of the hospital you need, when you need it.
02 / BOOKINGHow to book medical transport
Book through Rushxo's app, website or WhatsApp. Provide your pickup location, the hospital or clinic you're heading to (including the specific entrance if relevant), number of passengers, and any special requirements—wheelchair access, extra time for mobility, medical equipment in the car. We confirm your fixed fare immediately, and your driver arrives within 5–15 minutes. For urgent bookings, use WhatsApp or phone for fastest confirmation.
03 / COMFORTVehicles designed for medical travel
All Rushxo vehicles are regularly serviced, clean and comfortable. Drivers can arrange accessibility if you need wheelchair access or assistance with mobility aids. Vehicles have plenty of space for medical equipment, walkers, crutches or oxygen tanks. The journey is smooth and direct—no unnecessary stops, no public transport changes, no climbing stairs or waiting on platforms.
04 / COSTMedical transport fares
A short run to a local hospital or clinic starts from around £20–£25 within central London; longer distances to specialist hospitals cost more. All fares are fixed at booking and include all tolls—no surprise charges for medical emergencies, no surge pricing regardless of time or demand. For regular hospital appointments or ongoing treatment, ask about our regular medical transport discounts.
05 / PRIVACYDiscretion and confidentiality
Medical information is private. Our drivers don't ask questions about your condition, and journey details are confidential. All passengers remain anonymous in our system—we collect only what we need for your journey delivery. If you prefer, brief the driver beforehand about any special requirements (accessibility, quiet journey, specific entrance), and we'll take care of it discreetly.
